Cool Evening Light Trail Photography

Night time photography of ferris wheel

I’m no photographer and have no interest in becoming one but with that being said, I also love looking at other peoples photographs and art work. I love photography because there is variation in the subjects and it captures moments in time. I would even go as far as saying that photographers are visual poets, giving people inspiration, joy, and making a person think something new.  Below you will find a few examples of Light Trail Photography. This method of photography is used to capture moving light using a slow shutter speed to capture the movement of light.

Sergey Larenkov – World War 2 Time Machine

It’s amazing just how recently the events of the second World War transpired. On September 1st, 1939, the Nazi war machine invaded Poland and the world was forever changed. Though it wasn’t all that long ago, most of the photographs we see of WW2 are in black and white. Blogger Sergey Larenkov decided to take these black and white photos and do something a little bit different with them. Using a bit of simple photo editing, he turned these photos into digital time machines.

Sergey’s collection of photos are a meld of old and new. He’s collected numerous photos from major historic battles of WW2, such as the defense of Moscow, and overlayed these locations with

Five Year Photo Project Copco Lake

Lasting Friendship – Five Year Photo Project

All of us have our little circle of friends who we to go for advice, to hang out with, for support, and basically to feel like we belong somewhere.  It’s interesting to see all the friendships from high school and how people grow apart despite the fact that they live in the same city or even blocks from each other. That’s fairly common I suppose, people grow apart, make new friendships, and life goes on.

If anybody knows about lasting friendships, it has to be the five guys of Copco Lake. ‘The Five Year Photo’ project started back in July 1982. A year after high school, buddies John Wardlaw, Mark Rumer, Dallas Burney, John Molony, and John Dickson took a self-timer photo that would unite them for decades to come. With a snap of a picture, a pact was made to come back to that very spot every five years to pose for the camera.

Natural Phenomena – Time-lapse by Reid Gower

The world is an incredible place, and I think that everyone should take the opportunity to see it, if they have the means to do so. But travel can be extremely expensive, and sometimes what we really want is a quick dose of beauty, both from at home, and around the world. Time-lapse videos like Natural Phenomena are a perfect way to get that.
