The Jaw-Dropping Photography of Storm Chaser Mike Hollingshead You might not come out on top if you weigh the pros and cons of storm chasing, but there are definitely pros beyond feeling like a bada** and a deep fulfillment of your twin passions for meteorology and spiking your adrenaline. If you want proof of that, just check out the awe-inspiring photography of storm chaser Mike Hollingshead. If the name Mike Hollingshead sounds familiar, that’s good, it means you’ve been reading PetaPixel for a little while. But if that’s the only photo from his storm chasing portfolio that you’ve come across, then you’re in for a real treat. Hollingshead began storm chasing after his first real chase put him right in the path of a tornado in Iowa. Speaking to Wired, Hollingshead does admit that it’s not all glory: I’ve driven eight hours only to get out there and have nothing happen. Plus, in recent years, he’s had to deal with a huge spike in the number of storm chasers on the road ever since Discovery’s Storm Chasers popularized the profession. (via Wired)

Фото и рисунки, арт и креативная реклама Carl Warner turns the human body into landscapes in his “Bodyscapes” series (PHOTOS). Carl Warner Carl Warner can make fantastic landscapes using just about anything: office supplies, nuts and bolts, even clothing. He might best be known, though, for his "Foodscapes," an idea that came to him in a food market at a time when his career as an advertising photographer was stagnating. Now the images are frequently used for advertising and commercial purposes. Lately, Warner is in the habit of making "Bodyscapes" after finding inspiration in the scenes of naked bodies in the dusty, rocky terrain of Michelangelo Antonioni’s film, Zabriskie Point. Compared to food, Warner said, the human body is more limited in the types of angles and shapes it can make. In the images featuring a single shot of a torso or back, only a small amount of digital manipulation—to add the sky—is required. "I know people would love these to be made with many different bodies, but doing this would mean having different skin tones, which would lose the sense of continuity within the landscape.
Time is a Dimension | Thoughtful Photography Sunset at the Esplanade, 2014. All Rights Reserved. Photography is a medium that is famous for freezing time. The word snapshot suggests that a tiny slice of time is recorded for posterity. But we do know that time is also a dimension, like length, breadth and width. A photographic print is flat, and essentially is made of 2 dimensions: length and width. HDB Rainbow Sunset, 2014. But the print is still an instance. I work in the confines of a photographic print, because I like to do so. Photographic prints are great because they don’t need power to be displayed. So I played around with the tools of digital photography and post processing to give you this series: Time is a dimension. Oriental Pearl Tower Sunset, 2014. This series of images are mostly landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes, and they are a single composite made from sequences that span 2-4 hours, mostly of sunrises and sunsets. The basic structure of a landscape is present in every piece. Own a Time Painting Leave a Comment
