The Girl Who Loves to Levitate (14 photos) - My Modern Metropolis - StumbleUpon Natsumi Hayashi is a sweet-looking Japanese girl who, one day, decided to take self-portraits..of herself levitating. She can be spotted in and around Tokyo, equipped with her SLR and her self-timer. When she feels the moment strike, she presses the shutter button down and then, quite literally, "jumps" into place. What I love most about her shots is that they don't feel forced. Natsumi has a way of making us feel as though she naturally levitates throughout life. When I asked her how others react to her jumping around Tokyo, here is a funny story that she shared. "So I stopped jumping and apologized to them by saying, 'I am taking jumping photos for my wedding party's slide show.' "Then, I took one of the best levitation shots of the entire series." "We are all surrounded by social stress as we are bound by the forces of earth's gravity," Natsumi says when asked why she took on the series. Natsumi Hayashi's website
Getting Close and Personal: 11 Tips for Close-up Candid Street Photography A Post By: James Maher Tip #1: If you see a banana stand, hang out near it. Street photography is not easy. It tests your nerves, your hand eye coordination and your instincts, and lord knows I’ve missed more ‘moments’ than I can count, but the satisfaction of capturing that split second where everything comes together can make it all worth it. This article is going to focus specifically on tips to help you get your camera as close to people as possible without them noticing. Now for the record, I use a pretty beefy Canon SLR, primarily because I can’t afford the Leica M9 and the Fuji X100 hasn’t come out yet, but I’ve still figured out ways over the years to get up and close with it without being noticed. 1. Speed is key and how you hold the camera can make all the difference in the world. 2. The advantage to shooting from your hip with the camera strapped to your wrist is that it really becomes an extension of your arm. 3. I prefer a 35mm (or 20mm on a cropped sensor.) 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

The Cathedral – Oscar Nominated Science Fiction Animated Short Movie Polish science fiction author Jacek Dukaj wrote a short story, Katedra, in 2000. A mysterious and enigmatic tale, it attracted the attention of Tomasz Bagiński, an artist and animator from the same country. He was intrigued by the prize winning piece of fiction and became determined to bring it to life as an animation. He did an exemplary job. Like the best science fiction the film refuses to bottle feed its audience and instead relies on individual interpretation of what is happening. (Spoiler alert if you have not watched the movie). A man, perhaps some sort of pilgrim, comes to a numinous, mysterious building which to our eyes initially looks like a medieval cathedral. The building shows its true nature at dawn when the light blinds and enchants him. The visual imagery used in the movie is quite breathtaking and although not a word is uttered throughout the seven minutes of its duration we ask the questions that the pilgrim asks.

15 Old School Basketball Pics That Will Make you Feel Old | Unathletic I’m not sure what generation most of you are but I’m from the school of remembering basketball cards like the ’84 Star NBA Michael Jordan Rookie card. I remember the Dream Team like it was yesterday. And it’s as if Shawn Kemp is still in shape and dunking like a mad man. But oh how time flies. Trust me, they will take you back…. Thanks to The Chive for these pics Lytro: The Biggest Thing to Happen to Photography Since Digital - StumbleUpon The Designer Tech Series is supported by the exquisitely crafted, new 2013 Lincoln MKS with Lincoln Drive Control. Now it gets interesting. The Lytro camera may be the most diminutive object to start a revolution. The Lytro is the world's first consumer light-field camera. The idea of using a camera to "shoot now, focus later" is what captured the world's attention when creator Ren Ng revealed his new company and its ambitions to the world earlier this year. How It Works The Lytro requires a completely different approach to photography, but the device still needs to be fundamentally a camera — small and portable, not to mention easy to use. "We're capturing a different kind of image," says Charles Chi, executive chairman of Lytro. They started with the lens, which is an 8x optical-zoom lens with an constant f/2 aperture — and extremely large spec even by the standards of high-end DSLR cameras. "The lens array needs to be packaged with the sensor at a very precise distance," says Chi.
