Photo Booth April 16, 2014 Portfolio: Cathedrals of Ice This past February, thanks to an unusually cold winter, the sea caves along the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, in northern Wisconsin, were accessible by foot for the first time in five years. Visitors were able to walk two miles over the thick ice of Lake Superior to see the ice formations that run up the coastline. Erin Brethauer, a photographer living in North Carolina, visited the sea caves. Click here to view a slide show of her photographs. April 14, 2014 The Keepers of the Stones Except for a few days a year, you can walk among and touch the stones of Stonehenge only by special arrangement with English Heritage, the quasi-government agency that manages the site.

Salisbury Plain, in England, is known for its concentration of prehistoric structures, most notably Stonehenge, the circle of megaliths famous for the mystery surrounding its purpose. Fjord Life

Instagram Des algorithmes contre les images truquées Chaque événement médiatique engendre aujourd’hui son lot d’images truquées relayant de fausses nouvelles ou « fake news ». Face à ce phénomène que les acteurs du Net tentent de juguler, les chercheurs élaborent de leur côté des algorithmes pour mieux détecter les informations douteuses circulant au moyen des images. Pour juger de la véracité d’une information en l’absence de contexte, autant jouer à pile ou face. Selon une étude de 2006 de la Texas Christian University, nous ne serions en effet pas beaucoup plus efficaces que le hasard pour repérer les tromperies1. Une décennie plus tard, le flot de données auquel nous exposent les réseaux sociaux est devenu si colossal que séparer le bon grain de l’ivraie semble encore plus difficile. « À moins d’être confronté à un montage grossier, un humain ne peut pas détecter une modification ou un réemploi de photo, estime Vincent Claveau. Les chercheurs de l’Irisa ont pu retrouver les deux photos ayant servi au photomontage.

Infiltration Nature Photography / ANTILIMIT Behind The Glass In our modern world where most of us are generally surrounded by and marketed to with uninspiring things, this serves as my attempt to counter that with moments I've found to be interesting and special. I've taken and post-processed all the photos here since 2002. I currently call Austin home and have lived throughout the United States (to include Washington State, Florida, Indiana, Virginia & Texas) during my lifetime. I currently work as a front-end designer and developer during the day and enjoy travelling to new places and wandering around with my gear. Whilst snapping, nothing is ever pre-arranged. That's me... very contently hanging on to the back of a tuk-tuk in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
