Incredible High-Speed photography by Alan Sailer (99 pics)

Alan Sailer, 54, is a photographer based in California. He is an expert in high-speed photography. You can see a lot of high-speed photography now on the Internet, but I must say this series is by far my favorite, it’s very colorful and the shots are just amazing.

He works in a dark room with his camera positioned around 20cm from the target. The camera has a unique home-made flash set at a one-second delay. He says the flash is about 5 microseconds in duration and runs at 17.000 volts, so it’s quite dangerous. The flash is triggered when the pellet from a rifle passes through a laser beam, so everything is calculated for the flash to be triggered at the perfect time, when the pellet hits the target.

Incredible and Creepy Photo Manipulations by Aja Jones

I was surfing on Behance when I found one incredible image of a monster. It was quite creepy but really well done, so I decided to check out the author's portfolio. Aja Jones is a digital artists from France with a incredible set of monsters and macabre creatures design. All of them are creative photo manipulations, mixed with paintings and illustration. I would love to see his design process on them.

Awesome Architecture in HDR

Yesterday I was browsing through Flickr and I came across some Architecture groups with images that simply amazed me, most of them were beautiful photos of buildings in HDR. I'm a big fan of HDR because it sorts of increase the level of details and textures with that very unique lighting.
