Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, red foxes are idealized for their sly intelligence and thievery, and due to their amazing speed and lovely crimson fur, they are coveted for sport and fashion alike. We know all about their mischief-making, how they have a penchant for stealing chickens, and how they sometimes befriend coon hounds and break our […]
Eduard Gordeev can make anyone want to visit Russia. Take, for example, this beautiful image of Griboedov Canal near the Nevsky Avenue, St. Petersburg: Gordeev is a fine-art cityscape photographer who blends multiple images over the top one another to create acrylic painting–style works of art.
No one has a better view of the Earth than the astronauts on the International Space Station. ESA Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti captured this shot of Typhoon Maysak as the station passes above. NASA collected valuable information on the typhoon as it grew to become a super typhoon: Maysak has grown since March 30 and had wind speeds […]
It’s always a lot of fun to play around with your camera, whether it’s adjusting settings to something you wouldn’t normally do, moving it around to create motion in the image, zooming in or out to get different perspectives, it’s just good to experiment. Here, one photographer zooms in while taking a picture of the stained […]
On March 12, three International Space Station crew members made their way home to Earth after spending 167 days in space. As the Soyuz spacecraft they were traveling in broke through the Earth’s atmosphere and parachuted to the ground, NASA photographer Bill Ingalls was nearby to capture some incredible photos, including this one of the […]
The other day I talked about timing and how sometimes you just have to have the patience to wait for that perfect shot. Well today we’re talking about the opposite kind of timing. That fast-paced, split-second, hair-trigger, cat-like reflex kind of timing. The kind you need to get a shot like the one David Bengtsson […]
If you don’t live in an area where the March 20 solar eclipse could be seen, never fear. Photographers were out in full force attempting to capture the perfect shot to share with the world. And this amazing capture takes the cake: Photographer Amy Shore took this well-timed photo of the eclipse and a perfectly […]
Perfectly timed photos are something everyone can appreciate, although, probably not as much as the photographer (You know, that person pulling the fist pumps and exclaiming, “Yes!” to themselves in the corner.) This image was photographed just as an airplane crossed the path of a solar eclipse in January 2010: Chaiwat Subprasom captured the image […]
At first glance, you might think this photo was a product of a skilled Photoshopper. However, you would be wrong. This place, called the Uyuni Salt Flats, actually covers a 4,000+ square mile space in southwest Bolivia. It is essentially a giant bed of salt. When covered in water, it appears to be a giant […]
Another funny photo has been making the rounds. This nature photographer was too engrossed in his previous photos to notice a beautiful ram standing right behind him practically begging to have his portrait taken, haha. As photographers, great photo opportunities are always around us and many go by uncaptured. Stay alert! and don’t let those […]
