At the first glance, the above picture — one of Cartier-Bresson’s most famous — seems exactly like it: languorous workers in Juvisny spending a lazy afternoon on the bank of River Marne. In fact, it was one of the photos Cartier-Bresson took during his first (and last) salaried job with the Parisian leftwing newspaper, Ce Soir in 1937. Like this: Like Loading...

Albino Animals Birdwatchers are rushing to Avebury, near Marlborough, Wiltshire to hopefully catch a glimpse of a rare albino jackdaw. Author Andrew Collins was the first to photograph the bird which locals have named Jackie. Other fabulous albino animals include: According to Wikipedia there is no reported case of a true “albino” horse even though white horses have been referred to as albino in literature and some registries. All so-called “albino” horses have pigmented eyes, usually brown or blue, and thus are not true albinos. Many albino mammals, such as mice or rabbits, typically have a white hair coat, unpigmented skin and reddish eyes. Dominant white in horses is caused by the absence of pigment cells melanocytes, whereas albino animals have a normal distribution of melanocytes In other animals, patches of unpigmented skin, hair, or eyes due to the lack of pigment cells (melanocytes) are called piebaldism, not albinism nor partial albinism.

Animals Illuminated by the Sun The time of sunset is defined in astronomy as the moment when the trailing edge of the Sun’s disk disappears below the horizon in the west. There are few things in nature as photogenic as the sky at sunset, especially animals. The rich bright gold, pink and orange colors make unusually beautiful pictures of animals illuminated by the sun. Source Source Source Source Source Source Source Source Source Source Source Source Source Deux scientifiques américains ont créé un programme qui décèle les retouches faites sur une image avec le logiciel Photoshop - L’algorithme qui démonte Photoshop Alors que la communication d’H&M est pointée du doigt pour avoir collé des visages de top-modèles sur des corps de synthèse, deux scientifiques américains ont inventé l’outil rêvé des amateurs d’ « avant-après ». Un chercheur en informatique, Hany Farid, et son élève doctorant, Eric Kee, de l’université de Darwood, aux États-Unis ont publié le résultat de leurs recherches la semaine dernière dans une revue scientifique américaine. Le programme qu’ils ont mis au point permet de faire apparaître, sur une échelle de 1 à 5, l’ampleur des retouches subies par une photo. Et cela donne lieu à des comparaisons saisissantes. Envolés, rides, bourrelets et teint brouillé !Voir les « avant-après » Ces chercheurs espèrent que cela poussera les médias et les publicitaires à adopter une attitude autorégulatrice. Cela intervient alors qu’H&M a dû s’expliquer dans le magazine suédois Aftonbladet après avoir eu recours à des corps cyber-dessinés pour sa dernière campagne publicitaire.
