Insects Caught Mid-Air With Laserbeam HD Camera Rig

Ryan Nance April 19, 2013

It is no small feat to snap crystal clear shots of the very rapid movements of insects and their wings.

Biochemist and photography enthusiast Linden Gledhill used a cross beam trigger system called StopShot manufactured by Cognisys.

Gledhill explains:

"The external shutter opens in about 10 milliseconds 10x faster than the DSLR can react and that is why its important to have access to a very fast acting external shutter. If the camera’s shutter was used the insect would be out of the field of view before its shutter could open. Because of this, high speed photographs are typically done in a darkened room to avoid this lag (ie on bulb mode). An external shutter allows insect to be captured in full sun. "

Super HD (4K) Timelapse of The US

Please watch full screen and turn up the volume! Alchemy is a short film about transformation. In nature, everything is constantly changing: the earth, the sky, the stars, and all living things. Spring is followed by summer, fall and winter. Water turns into clouds, rain and ice. Over time, rivers are created, canyons carved, and mountains formed. All of these elements, mixed together, create the magic of nature's alchemy.

1 - A 30-day New Zealand Timelapse

Ryan Nance August 16, 2012

I've just moved to New Zealand, and my first 30 days and 30 nights here made a powerful impression on me. I've never done anything quite like this before, so I thought I would share what I felt with you.

When a photographer moves to a new city, let alone to a new country, a stunningly beautiful country like New Zealand, it is an amazing opportunity for us, the viewers, to not just see the stunning scenery, but for us to experience the excitement of the photographer's discovery.
