Beautiful Black and White Photography | Monday Inspiration Advertisement If you’ve been following Smashing Magazine for a while, you know that almost all posts from the Monday Inspiration series1 are pretty colorful and eye-catching. This post is an exception. Compared to colorful designs where catchy colors help the design to stand out, in black-and-white designs the ability to stand out depends only on its ability to communicate rather than on its appealing visual presentation. Indeed, beautiful black and white photography doesn’t attract with its play of colors. Here close attention to composition, lighting, perspective and the context it is shot in are important. Notice: this post isn’t supposed to showcase the best black-and-white-photos of world’s best photographers; please see it as a modest attempt to inspire designers for experimenting with black and white instead of using a variety of vibrant colors all the time.

Nikon D3 Shutter Release in Super Slow Motion ( slide your mouse over the image side to side for animation ) Still Loading: [ ......................................................................] (The white line on the left side of the blue “exposure” band, below the big “@”, is when the camera's flash fired for the exposure.) Marianne Oelund recently posted a sequence of images of a Nikon D3 shutter in action, over on the Digital Photography Review Nikon D3 forum. I thought she had created the images with a high-speed camera, but it turns out that, lacking a high-speed camera, she went to great (and ingenious) lengths to create this sequence. The setup used to create the images was rather simple; anyone with basic macro equipment could do the same. The imaging camera was another D3 (but any camera could be used), with a Micro 60mm lens, a white reflective collar around the lens, and a downward-firing SB-900 mounted above. What wasn't quite as straightforward, was collecting the timing data. I love this kind of ingenuity!
