Flying in a motorized paraglider over one of the most diverse continents in the world, George Steinmetz captures in his photographs the stunning beauty, potential and hope of Africa’s landscapes and people. See the project at http://mediastorm.com/publication/african-air
Paul Nicklen is probably the world’s top Arctic and Antarctic photographer. His photos are unequaled, as is his zeal to get THE shot. This excellent TED talk gives a taste of the lengths he goes to to get his award-winning photos. Enjoy.
David Griffin, Director of Photography at National Geographic, gave a great talk at TED about how photography connects us, and the stories that the best photos tell.
I am a big fan of time lapse videos. Here are two very cool ones from San Fransisco. The first one is not all that different from the timelapse of Vancouver.
Canon recently commissioned a short movie, shot exclusively with its new 8-15mm Fisheye. The results are pretty amazing. So is the technique to create the movie – using a remote-controlled helicopter. Very cool.
I love the endless possibilities of digital cameras, and timelapse photography is one great application. This timelapse video of Vancouver is an amazing example. Turn up your speakers and enjoy! it also happens to show off Vancouver at its best.
Check out the Draganflyer X8 – a new way to make aerial photography affordable! It is a small remote-controlled helicopter with a payload of about 1kg, perfect for a full HD video or still camera. It would be an amazing tool for shooting nature or wildlife from the air. The price is steep, but it is still a lot cheaper than renting a helicopter. And the company is Canadian (from Saskatoon) to boot.
