If you want to capture tonight’s fireworks, make sure to re-read this article.

It will be a good refresher on how to shoot at night with long exposures. Most important, don’t forget your tripod and pick a great location!

Happy 4th of July!!

I love Elena Kalis underwater photos! Between the children riding dolphins, elephants and lions you’ll quickly get that it’s an entire series of photos based on Alice in Wonderland.

Truly amazing pics of Antarctica.

Very creative and excellent photography!

Two new Nikon cameras coming up?? That’s what it looks like if these photos are legit!

The D3000 is expected to be a scaled-down version of the company’s D5000, with a smaller body and lacking a swivel LCD display. As for the D300s, it will have a new histogram zoom feature (selects only certain area of the frame and displays the histogram).

Instead of introducing a Nikon D400, Nikon is basically going to refresh the D300 with video… The “s” is usually a small upgrade from the original iteration, like the F4 – F4s or the D2H – D2Hs.

That’s what a Raptor F22 looks like when going supersonic!

“The photograph was taken in 1951 while Einstein was celebrating his birthday at Princeton University. Photographer Arthur Sasse tried to convince Einstein to pose with a smile for the photo, but Einstein instead stuck out his tongue, producing one of the most recognizable images of the irreverent physicist.”

The iconic photograph of the scientist sticking his tongue out was sold by a New Hampshire auction company for $74,330, making it the most expensive Einstein photograph to be ever sold at an auction!

Are you talking to ME!

The Macallan Fine Oak 30 Years Old from The Macallan Masters of Photography Collection is quite unique.

It mixes great photography and one of finest scotches to hit a man’s lips. Each bottle is packaged with a unique photo from photographer John Rankin or better known as Rankin.
The packaging also includes a luxe black box. Only 75 bottles were made available for North America and as expected the price isn’t cheap, at $1,700 a bottle.

“This unprecedented collection is a portrait of The Macallan brand, composed by Rankin through 1,000 Polaroid photographs of The Macallan estate, Easter Elchies.  Each Polaroid has been consigned to its own bottle of The Macallan Fine Oak 30 Years Old, creating an entirely unique objet d’art that celebrates the artistry and craftsmanship of both single malt Scotch whisky and photography.  Seventy-five limited edition bottles will be available in the U.S.”

A great collection of images of neon and neon signs by fellow photographer Thomas Hawk.

“When I’m not taking or processing the pictures I’m mostly thinking about the pictures. I’m trying to publish a library of 1,000,000 finished, processed photographs before I die.

The absurdity of my obsessive compulsive view on photography is not lost on me. But it is the absurdity of life that I find most beautiful of all. Where Sisyphus had his stone I have my camera and a bag full of lenses.

Document, explore, lather, rinse, repeat. Photography for me then becomes a kind of hyperactivity, loosely arranged and presented. My work is less about individual images and instead more about the power of a massive amount of excessive and disjointed images where stories, characters and places sometimes stay and other times reappear or disappear entirely for no good reason at all.”
