This isn't the first photo project where multiple images of the same subject are overlayed in a palimpsest - images bleeding through one another. (see the gorgeous composite self-portrait ).
These trees are stunning and are so remarkably like a painting. I want to see the same technique applied to lots of other things: cars, elephants, sailboats. Yeah.
The flying baby is back. This is the second project I've seen from photographer Rachel Hulin.
Such a simple little trick, but does entirely reorient the whole view.

The film travels across Iceland, from the floating blue icebergs of Jokulsarlon's glacial lagoon to the steaming geothermic vents of Myvatn, the colorful mountains of Landmannalaugar to the breathtaking sunsets on Snaefellnes Peninsula, and the barren volcanic landscapes of Askja to the vast fields of lupin near Husavik. Legend was shot over a 2 week period in June 2012 when the sun barely sets below the horizon and you never see darkness. It was filmed completely in 5K resolution using Canon full frame DSLRs on motion timelapse equipment from Kessler Crane. Mono's score of the same name, Legend, is from their upcoming album "For my parents". Its edgy cinematic and epic quality helps describe Iceland - a breathtakingly beautiful yet unforgivingly dangerous place. The album is available for pre-order: http://www.monoishere.com/2012/07/30/pre-order-for-my-parents-now/ We would like to thank the following supporters for making this film possible: Kessler Crane: www.KesslerCrane.com Glacier Rental Car: www.glaciercarrental.is Special thanks to Egill Agustsson and Adalsteinn Petur Karlsson of Husavik for their help with my car problems on Iceland National Day. It's the country's biggest holiday and they helped me get back on the road so I could continue filming. Last but not least, a big thank you to fellow filmmaker Joe Capra (www.scientifantastic.com) for his guidance and inspiration. His tips and advice were invaluable in helping me prepare for this trip. A 4K version will be released soon, along with a behind the scenes video! Please follow or subscribe to us to receive the latest updates.
Iceland has long be on my list. And this timelapse piece by Henry Jun Lee Wah just moved it up a few slots.
Mosaics don't often hold the place of honor in the halls of visual arts. It is a craft often, a technique. These mosaics made of mechanical parts from Laura Harris seem to play with the relationship between technique and vision, material guiding subject and subject selecting material.

So shareable.
Water Light Graffiti system in Paris is the work of Artist Antonin Fourneau. Moisture sensitive panels activate a huge grid of LEDs.
The "Water Light Graffiti" is a surface made of thousands of LED illuminated by the contact of water. You can use a paintbrush, a water atomizer, your fingers or anything damp to sketch a brightness message or just to draw. Water Light Graffiti is a wall for ephemeral messages in the urban space without deterioration. A wall to communicate and share magically in the city.

CGI, like most other techniques, can be used to either great effect or as a poor substitute for vision and imagination.
VFX artist Samm Hodges of Animal VFX shows how amazing it can be in his 2012 reel.

When Dina Johnson and her husband moved to Serbia, it was a "leaving it all behind" move. But she quickly found something to use her impressive publishing industry experience on. She approached the National Theater in Belgrade, proposing to do a portrait project, to result in a photo book.
That photo book is called The Unseen Beauty.
"The main thing was to actually make their portraits, to show how gracious and glamorous they are. Most of them did not have their professional photos taken for many years and I wanted to correct this mistake. I felt so good seeing how happy they were when they saw The Unseen Beauty book. I still get very emotional when I think about it." - Dina Johnson
„The Unseen Beauty" is a Photo Book by Dina Johnsen. It is devoted to the stars of the The National Theatre in Belgrade.

It's an interesting thing: the site where something creative happened. Was the place, a la ancient Delphi, the source of inspiration? Or did the sheer act of creation leave an aura, a faint scent of genius that we all can inhale in hopes of it seeping into our own desperate attempts to pull something from non-existence into existence.

In a lot of ways it's similar to visiting a reliquary to be able to touch (or at least see) the finger of a saint. Half in desire to see for ourselves and half in the hopes of being infected by the seeds of a greater existence.
I would imagine for painters it would be different. It would be a bit of cross-temporal visual conversation: shop talk.
Are there artists studios you'd most like to see (either in person or in photos)?

The Tron-inspired CGI video for the Chemical Brother‘s Velodrome, created by Crystal CG, is played in London's Olympic Velodrome before each session.
Crystal has created a three minute animated sequence for the song’s promotional video to match its heart-pounding rhythms. Played in the Velodrome before every session the video shows the Velodrome as never before, literally pulsating with excitement. “We’ve created sweeping contours and sleek surfaces as the backdrop for an intense, futuristic cycling ‘duel’ as two animated riders power round the track,” said Darren Groucutt, creative director at Crystal. “It truly brings the Velodrome to life.” James O’Brien, LOCOG Head of Sports Presentation, said: ‘Inspiring people to engage with sport has always been central to our vision and we want to ensure the way we present sport adds to the experience of the spectators in the venues and builds the atmosphere. This will be a special summer and we are grateful to everyone who has given their time and expertise over the past years.’

Sarah, an 11-year-old cheetah at the Cincinnati Zoo, set a new world speed record this summer during a shoot for National Geographic magazine. She first earned the title of world's fastest land mammal in 2009 when she covered 100 meters in 6.13 seconds, breaking the previous mark of 6.19 seconds set by a male South African cheetah named Nyana in 2001.
Wow!
I am not sure exactly what the charm of these is. Perhaps it's a "look how silly we were!" feeling, or perhaps a straight up sense of nostalgia. Perhaps it is a tiny snitch uncanny. Whichever, charming and fun.
