Into The Blue by MarselvanOosten



[PLEASE VIEW ON BLACK] Just a few more days and I'm off to Iceland again for this year's Iceland Winter Wilderness tour. One of the things that we'll do, is visit an ice cave in Europe's largest glacier. This image is from last year's tour. We were all shooting the amazing cave when suddenly a rope fell down from a small opening above us. A few moments later some guy came navy sealing down into the cave. It was a bizar moment, but also a good one - many photographs have been shot in this cave last year and they all look fairly similar. It was really nice to be able to get something completely different. - - - If you would like to join me on our next Iceland tour and learn more about landscape photography and composition, please check out my website for more information: Squiver Photo Tours & Workshops Or download the brochure: Iceland Winter Wilderness (PDF) We are the only company that visits both the South and the North on the same trip by using a privately chartered plane - less traveling time, more photography. Hope to see you there! Marsel Website | Blog | Facebook ©2014 Marsel van Oosten, All Rights Reserved.

The coal-miner turned photographer is bringing a new angle to oceanic imagery The coal-mining town of Bulli, south of Sydney, is not regarded as a repository of high art, nor as a vibrant and pulsing beehive of life and color, and yet there was Ray Collins. Seven years ago the idea of his new photography book, Found at Sea, would have seemed ludicrous to him; he was still working a mile down in the mines and hadn’t shot a single frame. Collins crawled out of the mines after blowing out a knee—“No shock absorbers left,” he says—and bought a camera with the payout. In the short years since, Collins has transitioned from subterranean to submarine and become arguably the most inventive water photographer in Australia.

I am interested in the concept of skin and race, and what they imply; in the ideas and theories sown into our flesh that change with the arc of time. The idea of beauty has become globalised, creating homogenous aspirations, and distorting people’s self-image across the planet. In my film, I focus on African women’s self-image, through memories and interviews; using mixed media to describe this almost schizophrenic self-visualization that I and many others have grown up with. -Best Experimental Short Film, Black Star Film Festival, USA August 2014 -Best Short Film, AfriKamera Film Festival, Warsaw, Poland April 2014 -3rd place in the Documentary Category, 2nd Afrinolly Short Film Competition, February 2014 -Best Animation, This Is England Film Festival, Rouen, France November 2013 -Best Student Film, Underexposed Film Festival, SC, USA November 2013 -Silver Hugo for Best Animated Short, 49th Chicago International Film Festival, USA October 2013 -Special Mention, 59th Oberhausen International Short Film Festival, Germany May 2013 -Best Short Film, Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards, Lagos, Nigeria March 2013 -Best Animation, 7th Kenya International Film Festival, Nairobi, Kenya November 2012 -Africa Movie Academy Awards, Bayelsa, Nigeria April 2013 Nominated for Best Short Film Award -Colours of the Nile Film Festival Addis Ababa, Ethiopia November 2012 Nominated for Best Short Film Award -Encounters Short Film Festival Bristol, UK September 2012 Nominated in The Nahemi Student Film Awards http://on.fb.me/1FHBOcn thenge.com/

Moon Shrine by MAPhoto



The crecent moon rises under a ultra-wide view exposed for the Milky Way and natural rock formations. I originally posted this 6-image stitch here for a brief while a couple weeks ago, at which point I received feedback from a community member that the automated merging of the Milky Way images looked slightly off, so thanks! Obviously this was a ridiculously hard image to process. In fact, I would say it is THE most difficult one to process I have ever taken. Not only is is stitched but also focus-stacked and exposure blended. The visualization of my complete process in taking and shooting this shot took years and many screw-ups to get right (at least I think). I'd love to hear any feedback. I know it's not for everyone, as a non-photographer might not even know what we're looking at here, but I consider it one of my most unique images, one that can only be captured in very short windows of time. via 500px http://bit.ly/1LLMESc

Dying Earth by erax7



Milky way season is back with us here in my area. While it's actually been active for about a month, moon conditions for the weekend hasn't made it worth my while. I will do a blog post in due course for this trip. Just been so flat out that I haven't had the time for too much for awhile. Image is a 27 image panorama at ISO 6400 F2.8 25s 16mm. This time I applied a gel to my flash to create a different tone. Didn't end up doing too much post processing after stitching this time. The green glow is from airglow. Salt lake in Western Australia. Salt lakes can be caused by erosion with the minerals collecting in basins and not running off or by increase in the water table (more common here in Australia) due to land clearing for agriculture. The salinity issue causes problems with agriculture and using the land for anything else. Some businesses farm the salt. Salt lakes change greatly throughout the year. I scouted this location out only about 3 weeks prior to the shoot and the rate of change was quite significant with more cracks and rupturing that I had to travel further into the lake to get some "cleaner" pressure ridges. via 500px http://bit.ly/18RCpKt

Seal Rock Cosmos by alan_howe



One of the all time best sunsets I've caught at the coast. The "all time" list continues to grow and I count my blessings for each one I am able to witness. For me it's one of those reminders that the best shots often come from locations not far from the door step. I remember pulling up the webcam and seeing these amazing clouds, grabbing my gear and just going for it. When I arrived the sky was way more wicked cool than I had hoped and the conditions just kept getting better. I've seen so many more surreal sunsets and sunrises than I've captured on camera. You think well that's a no brainer but really it's a big deal. For so many years I just plain didn't observe the sky and fine light during those times of day.... for so many years before I became a photographer. And still, so many people don't see this when it's right in front of them. For example I feel so lucky when I am driving into work on the freeway and the sky is filled with amazing colors and light. I just ignore all of the people riding my bumper and passing me like I'm standing still while I sip my coffee and try to take it all in. via 500px http://bit.ly/1HnAtrP

Look up from the busy streets of New York City, and you might glimpse a flock of purebred pigeons swooping in circles around an abandoned tenement building in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Their aerial acrobatics are guided by their keeper, a streetwise Puerto Rican nicknamed 2Tone. On the other end of the borough, a man named Goodwin and his pal Super 13 tend their own pigeon coop and flock of 300 birds. Each man is trying to beat the other, to lure his birds away. It’s about bragging rights but it’s also about poetry, it’s about religion. It’s about finding that “true pigeon that will never break your heart,” as 2Tone says.

Paying Reverence To The Rising Moon by JeffDeveau



This is a capture of the rising moon over the famous tree in Joshua Tree National Park. About 8 months ago I saw a image similar to this here and decided I wanted to take one like it only wider. I opened up the photographers ephemeris and found out when the next time the moon would be low and over the rock and tree at sunrise. it was about 6 months away. I told Chip Morton one of our other instructors from California Captures about it and we patiently waited for the date to come. I drove out the night before and met chip who had been camping here a few days. when the time came we climbed up the little hill it sits on and setup under the stars and waited for the sun to rise. We got a few minutes of nice color in the sky with a amazingly clear moon. It all worked out and I got the shot I was after. This image is a focus stacked image. The moon was shot in the position you see it at 400mm and layered back into the wide angled shot. To see more of our images follow our other californiacaptures.net instructors on 500px.

Aldeyjarfoss by StaceySkalkos



Amazing Aldeyjarfoss at sunset. Another photo from that perfect day =) After spending some time with The Icelandic Horse it took some super jeeping to get up to the fall. We were treated to good weather and a nice sunset. via 500px http://bit.ly/1EjmlvP

Photo by @BrianSkerry A newly hatched leatheback sea turtle scrambles towards the ocean, about to experience saltwater for the first time in Trinidad. Only about 1 in 1000 hatchlings will make it to adulthood due to predators. But nature has compensated for this and female leatherbacks have multiple clutches of hundreds of babies. What these animals cannot overcome are the anthropogenic stresses, such as getting caught in fishing gear, poaching and climate change and as a result have struggled to survive. Leatherbacks never stop swimming once in the sea; they remain in perpetual motion. Their lineage dates back more than 100 million years, older than dinosaurs. @thephotosociety @natgeocreative #seaturtles #trinidad #babyanimals #endangered #nikonambassador by natgeo

My first flowers timelapse has finished. 4 months and 9624 shots 5K RAW (259 GO). Here is the list of flowers that have been part of the video. Pink wedding flowers: 353 pics, interval 11 minutes Pink : 248 pics, interval 13 minutes Purple Lilies : 246 pics, interval 8 minutes White Amaryllis : 343 pics, interval 8 minutes Red Lilie : 353 pics, interval 8 minutes White Amaryllis : 305 pics, interval 6 minutes Pink Lilie : 649 pics, interval 10 minutes White Hyacinth : 332 pics, interval 8 minutes Red Amaryllis : 340 pics, interval 9 minutes Whites Amaryllis : 370 pics, interval 8 minutes Orange Lilies : 342 pics, interval 10 minutes Alstroemeria : 555 pics, interval 10 minutes Blue Iris : 346 pics, interval 8 minutes Daffodils : 417 pics, interval 5 minutes Freesia : 612 pics, interval 10 minutes White Lilies : 503 pics, interval 10 minutes Pink Hyacinth : 636 pics, interval 7 minutes Red Amaryllis : 259 pics, interval 8 minutes White Lilie : 249 pics, interval 10 minutes Tulips : 1379 pics, interval 5minutes Amaryllis (Nymph) : 787 pics, interval 8 minutes I created this video simply because I love nature. I always found the flower’s timelapses fabulous, but most of the time they are made with a black background. Then I told myself to make a beautiful flower’s timelapse with coloured and vintage backgrounds. To me, the 60’s / 70’s is the most representative period for the flowers. This is a way to pay tribute to them.

With an exclusive sound track by Devonté Hynes (Blood Orange) and Neneh Cherry, a cast led by actor and model Hari Nef, and a performance choreographed by artist Ryan Heffington, our original film directed by Selfridges’ Resident Film Director Kathryn Ferguson and Alex Turvey explores a visual response to the idea of Agender. The film is an evolving journey through a subtle push and pull between masculinity and femininity, captured entirely in one unbroken shot, utilising in-camera camera effects in a world populated by out-scaled physical props inspired by Faye Toogood’s in store realisation of Agender. The cast of dancers and performance artists are all styled in Agender brands available at Selfridges, including Nicopanda, V Files, Yang Li x Genesis P-Orridge, Bodymap and Rad Hourani.

Hidden Underworld by ArturStanisz



Baffin Island Photo Adventure with Artur Stanisz will take place between August 26-September 9, 2015. If you would like to participate in this photography workshop and Arctic adventure , please email me for details: arturstanisz@gmail.com Photo description: Glaciers tend to be abundant with hidden “treasures” that are usually hard, but not impossible to spot. This is not a particularly welcoming world, but if one finds it, the richness of its internal beauty can leave the spectator speechless. The Turner Glacier located on Baffin Island hosts many camouflaged spots where nature-made frozen processes take place. I discovered this icy chamber during one of the days that were cursed by absolutely clear sky. This is not my favourite type of weather and on days like that I tend to look for more interesting places. I crawled inside one of the holes in the glacier and explored it for couple of hours. What I saw there is hard to describe. Luckily, I had my camera with me so I was able to capture on this photo the unseen beauty of this desolated underworld. via 500px http://bit.ly/1F5Rpkj
