Unusual Long Exposure Firework Photographs While attending the International Fireworks Show in Ottawa, Canada earlier this month photographer David Johnson had his camera in hand to document the night. When Spain’s entry into the competition begin he decided to try something a little different resulting in the photos you see here which are unlike any long exposure firework shots I’ve ever seen. Via email David tells me how he accomplished the effect: The technique I used was a simple refocus during the long exposure. What’s interesting is that unlike usual firework photos that seem to make long trails across the sky, Johnson’s photos look like flowers with little triangular plumes coming to a point.

4 Video Game Complaints We're Just Going to Have to Get Over #2. "The Always-Connected System Should Not Be Used on a Single-Player Game!" Getty The Complaint What kind of devil worshiping bullshit is this? An always-on Internet connection for a single-player game is bullshit, and the fact that we're supporting it by buying the game in record-setting numbers is a testament to how stupid we are as a species. Getty"Yeah, if you get a second, why don't you bend right over and eat some of our shit." The Reality Look, I fully stand by everything I said in my article on Diablo III. This isn't a small problem. Remember the game Spore? No, this is their last resort, a means of setting up a security guard right at the front door to check everyone's bags every time they pass through the entrance. Getty"Hard to believe a man can make a living by farting into people's cereal boxes, but damn if I don't love my job." #1. Wow, until I played your newest title, I had no idea that you condoned genocide. At its peak, WoW was boasting 12 million subscriptions.
Bottle Cap Portrait Artist Mary Ellen Croteau was working on an artwork involving plastic bottle caps, creating tall endless strings that are strung vertically in colorful columns. She repeatedly noticed how some of the caps would fit neatly inside of one another creating new color combinations similar to the portraits of Chuck Close. Inspired, she became sidetracked and embarked on her own self portrait using the colors that “naturally” appeared in the bottle cap plastic. This work was submitted by John Mangahas as part of the Curatorial Contest of Awesomness that was held this past week on Facebook. We received nearly 100 submissions and the six winners and the awesome work they brought to my attention will be blogged about over the next few days. Side note: I had Megan help me sort through the 90+ submissions, and of our individual lists of the “best” six items, four were identical. Missed out on all the action?
