When the world becomes disproportionate (53 pics)

Posted in Pictures 28 Aug 2009   / 8919 views
Another good series of photo manipulation. This time, the idea was to make people, things or places look gigantic or miniature in comparison to the other elements in a photo, the whole process with exaggeration of course.
Some are really original and well found! Just take a look…

Cities at night seen from space! (21 pics)

Posted in Pictures 7 Aug 2009   / 23746 views
The pics were taken by NASA astronauts from the International Space Station. At first, the pics were not interesting because all of them were blurred, but techniques and devices evolved over the years and now, you can have beautiful clear photos.
One interesting thing is that Tokyo seen by night is rather green while other cities are more orange/yellow. In fact, the majority of the urban area in Tokyo has light green mercury vapour lamps instead of orange sodium vapour lamps.

You will see pictures by night of London, Madrid, Athens, Cairo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and lots more.

Beautiful black and white photographs of youth involved in gangs by Donna De Cesare (27 pics)

Posted in Pictures 7 Aug 2009   / 8058 views
Donna de Cesare is a famous photographer from New York. Her works appeared in big publications like The New York Times magazine, Life, DoubleTake, Aperture, Mother Jones and some exhibitions all around the world. Her reportage about the spread of US gang culture to Central America has won national and international awards. Recognized as an expert on issues of youth identity and gang violence, De Cesare has worked as a consultant to UNICEF. Well, her resume is quite big so I will stop here.
The strength of her works is that she tells the story of youth involved in gangs without stereotyping them and her photos speak by themselves.
You will see interesting photos she took for her projects inside the post.

Unusual trend – the world of “miniature brides” (15 pics)

Posted in Pictures 5 Aug 2009   / 5770 views
The idea is simple, but the photos (if you have some imagination) are cool.
The concept consists of a photo of a couple in any situation you want but with the groom looking like a giant next to the bride or the bride looking like a fairy next to the groom, your choice n_smile
Though, the bride here looks like a man’s toy, which can be seen as offensive for women…
So, what d’ya think? Cool or creepy?

I love these photos. It’s so damn interesting to see how lived our ancestors ;)

If you have more information, let us know. Thanks.

I saw this description on the site ‘Transient Light’ and I couldn’t think of describing these photo works better that this: “When light, subject and composition are persuaded into coherency then the ordinary briefly becomes extraordinary.”

Unique photographs by Robert Buelteman (15 pics)

Posted in Pictures 17 Jul 2009   / 9338 views
This is a case, when all is simple and divinely beautiful and the first who got how to do this was Robert.
He put on a metal board different plants and passed through them the electrical surges of 80,000 volts. Immediately after that, he took pictures.
You must see this, it is really very beautiful; it may seem that it was photoshopped but the pictures are real.

Super extreme diving. They had to photograph the sharks as close as possible while they were eating, very close to their mouths.
I would never dare to try this, especially after seeing the last photos. What scary jaws and teeth got these beasts. 36

The camera "Polaroid" which allowed to take instant photos and once was very popular, unfortunately, now is completely forgotten.
But there are thousands of photographs to commemorate this camera that has revolutionized the world of instant cameras so long ago. Let’s look at the photos and recall a golden age ;)
