Photographs of Mirrors on Easels that Look Like Paintings in the Desert

Photographs of Mirrors on Easels that Look Like Paintings in the Desert
Daniel Kukla is a photographer who had formal training in biological and anthropological sciences. His educational background plays a major part of his artistic practice, and this can be seen in his clever project titled, The Edge Effect. In the description and explanation of the project, Kukla writes, In March of 2012, I was awarded an artist’s residency by the United States National Park Service in southern California’s Joshua Tree National Park. We love how the photos look like they’re of paintings of the desert placed within the desert. You can find the rest of the photographs in the series over on Kukla’s website.

Marvel at the Magnificent Marble Caves [35 PICS] - StumbleUpon Can you imagine something happening that would endanger these exquisite azure caverns? It might if Chile continues with plans to build five hydro-power dams in Patagonia. Photo #7 by © Jorge Leon Cabello The water has eroded the marble to create cavities and marble caves. There are different color shades, depending on the contents’ impurities. Amazing geological formations on Chilean side of Lake Carrera. It would be a real shame if the hydro-power dams damage the lake and the marble caves on top of the surrounding natural habitats for wildlife. View of the lake and where to find the marble caverns in the Aysen region of Chile.

When a photograph is not just a photograph !! 35 Splendid Examples of Forced Perspective Photography Fotografie von Nousheen Aquil Dieser Post beschäftigt sich mit einem interessanten und herausfordernden Ansatz in der Fotografie – nämlich der Forced Perspective – was sich in etwa mit erzwungener Perspektive übersetzen lässt. Im Wesentlichen geht es um eine optische Täuschung, die das Objekt größer oder kleiner wirken lässt, als es tatsächlich ist. Durch verschiedene Tricks und den Einsatz skalierter Objekte sowie deren Relation zum Blickwinkel des Betrachters oder zur Position der Kamera, wird der menschlichen Wahrnehmung eine andere Perspektive als die tatsächlich fotografierte vorgegaukelt. Hier geht es allerdings nicht um die Technik, sondern um die Effekte und 35 gut gemachte fotografische Beispiele der Forced Perspective.
