Conrad Maldives Rangali Island's unique underwater suite (NOT photoshop) The Girl Who Loves to Levitate (14 photos) 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
ROLLOVERS | M. Seth Jones ? Fashion///Beauty///Retouching Stefano Unterthiner Photography : Animals Face to Face Colt + Rane Stefano Unterthiner Photography : Animals Face to Face The cloud chaser: Amateur weatherman follows his sun compass to snap stunning pictures By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 02:56 EST, 8 March 2011 Advertisement For many, it is a hobby that would require far too much patience. But one photographer waits for hours just to capture the perfect images of storm clouds breaking. Kris Dutson, 53, has spent ten years scouting out the ideal locations across Britain to capture the most astonishing atmospheric shots on his camera as rain falls. Perfect rainbow: Kris Dutson's most recent photograph taken at North Poorton, Dorset. Remarkable: Clouds pile up over a hill top on a bright day at Colmers Hill, Bridport in Dorset. He carries meteorological charts and a sun compass with him and will patiently wait for clouds to break before capturing the perfect shot. Kris, from Compton Valence, near Dorchester, Dorset, scours the countryside for the most beautiful and interesting scenes to shoot. He sometimes waits for months on end before returning to a particular spot at the right time of year to catch these astonishing images. 'I'm very lucky.'
This World is Awesome (20 photos) As a National Geographic photographer since 1995, Stephen Alvarez has explored our world in ways most of us can only imagine. His global stories have won him numerous awards and taken him to amazing places, much like our all-time favorite photographer, Steve McCurry. Over the past fifteen years, Alvarez chronicled the world's unseen landscapes and then called the series Earth from Below. His journeys took him to the world's deepest cave in Abkhazia on the border with Russia and made him curious enough to explore the treasures right underneath his feet. What I enjoy most about Alvarez's photos is that, just like Steve McCurry, he can transport us into another time and place. I was able to ask Stephen my favorite question: What advice would you give to aspiring photographers? "The advice I give to people just starting out is the same advice I give to veteran photographers and to myself each morning," he tells us. "There is a sea of photographers out there," he continues.
Pictures of Clouds and Sunsets - What a Wonderful World Long’s Peak – Sunset Pictures of Clouds and Sunsets credit: David Evenson These pictures of clouds, nature and landscape are really inspirational. Clouds are created when rising air, through expansion, cools to the point where some of the water vapor molecules “clump together” faster than they are torn apart by their thermal energy. In any case the beauty is impossible to ignore and our Grand Architect surely has an excellent eye for design. Hint: Use “J” and “K” keys to navigate from picture to picture.
