Links to photos that give you inspiration or awe - NO CARS

[wsmeyer]

When I run across a picture on the web that catches my eye I bookmark it and name the bookmark with a few keywords and what it is I liked; composition, technique, subject, etc.

I don't consider it polite to grab images off the web and re-post, even if you do give a link and / or credit so let's stick to a format of a brief description and a link.

I'll start with Thierry Legault who uses some mathematical calculations and a computer controlled telescope with a Canon 5D attached to catch a picture of the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station passing in front of the Sun:

There are a handful or photographers I admire extremely and I'll share them slowly.

Here is one of them:

Julian De La Rosa III

The man is incredible with landscapes.

That's crazy. I was on POTN a couple of weeks ago. Some of the guys that do stuff like this get CRAZY results.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Good thread. I'm always looking for awesome photographers to check out.

I have one photographer that I admire the most.

Hubble Space Telescope - In particular the Ultra Deep Field image

I'm not Casey, but can say that Gursky is a world-famous photographer. His work can be seen in some of the most prominent art galleries/museums in the world. He signed the back of the Rhein II picture.

Here is a little information Rhein II: http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=5496716

In particular, read the lot notes.

Mark told you exactly what I would have told you. 1. It is a Gursky. 2. It is signed. 3. It is the only one of its type in the world 4. It was shot on (I am assuming) medium, or large format film and there are a ton of details in the original that are not easily seen in the scaled down/downgraded digital version.
5. The art market is on a downswing as is the Euro and investors are putting more faith in the value of the art than the value of the Euro.

I don't get it either. Most Ansel Adams don't fetch that much. Besides, for roughly the same money I could get two basketballs in a fish tank:

[billschusteriv]

I was surprised at the quality of some of the photos people in my local photo club take.

This one, "View of Prague Castle II" (http://www.flickr.com/photos/dimeophotos/5974062242/) by img finder (http://www.flickr.com/people/dimeophotos/), was one of my most recent favorites.

Made me want to go back to the Med. Or Europe. Or somewhere with this kind of architecture. Like Ottawa, Canada.

I like it. Its all about the lines, the ratios and the specific placement of those lines and ratios in the frame. If it was financially accessible to me I'd hang it in my house for sure, but it'd need to be a print and sold for like $250-400 with a really nice frame.

[UdubBadger]

I'm a little too busy to try and find a website but check out Uta Barth, she's one of my personal favorites - I absolutely love how her work makes me feel and her 'In Between Places' series is probably my favorite set of works out there.

http://somebody-loves-us-all.blogspot.com/2010/03/uta-barth-between-places.html

I really like it.

William.

[UdubBadger]

Yeah I have seen that one many times, I believe she did a diptych of it with a very very similar shot but off by a few inches. Really liked what I saw. She had an exhibit at the Art Inst. of Chicago this summer I went and saw, it was pretty cool.

http://www.artic.edu/aic/exhibitions/exhibition/utabarth

[wsmeyer]

I saw that she had a traveling exhibit. I would have liked to see them in person, apparently it was in LA September 23 - October 29 2011. Oh well... I couldn't find a website for her or cities and dates for exhibits.

Good thing she doesn't own a ZHP or she would kill Dane's 4th quarter photo contest

William.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

William, I am going to hit her up anyway. I'll see if she wants to enter. :biggrin

Happy Veterans Day to all that have served (especially to those who never made it back)

http://polination.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/standing-watch-by-frank-glick.jpg

about the picture:


Frank Glick, an amateur photographer, captured this amazing image at Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minnesota. He thought that the family of the veteran buried at that gravestone might like to have a copy, and did some research on Sgt. Maurice Ruch.

Ruch, a veteran of World War II, was a US Army marksman who served in the Aleutian Islands and earned a Bronze Star. Then he went home, became an engineer and got married. John Tevlin of the Star Tribute spoke with Ruch’s widow, Vivian, and best friend, Jack Kiefner:

I told Vivian that some cultures believe the eagle is a symbol, not only of patriotism and dignity, but a messenger between heaven and earth. She nodded solemnly.

“I’d say the eagle had a very good eye when he landed on Maurie, and he was respected,” she said.

“I miss him,” said Vivian as she picked up the photo. “He was a good man and a good provider.”

“The eagle couldn’t have picked a better person,” said Kiefner.

US Navy official description:
Crash landing of F6F-3, Number 30 of Fighting Squadron Two (VF-2), into carrier's port side 20mm gun gallery, November 10,1943. Lt. Walter L. Chewning,Jr., USNR, the catapult officer, is climbing up on the planes side to assist the pilot from the burning aircraft. The pilot, Ensign Byron M. Johnson, escaped without significant injury. USS Enterprise was then en route to support the Gilberts Operation.
Some more facts:
Ens. Johnson later became an Ace with 8 confirmed Japanese aircraft downed. When the plane skidded into the gun pit it ruptured the drop tank, that Lt. Chewning is standing on, causing the fire.

Not so bad as I had a wetsuit but the chaos and craziness was insane. I'm a pretty strong swimmer and swim in the ocean in all conditions and more than once I thought I was going to drown in this madness.

[Mtnman]

That does not sound like anything close to fun.

[echo46]

The only fun in that swim, and for some unknown reason I did it twice, was when I got out of the water.

Agreed. I was in Germany & France 2-3 weeks ago so I visited some of the cathedrals there & made a stop at Versailles. The architecture there is beautiful!

Where was that pic taken?

[Rovert]

Versailles is beautiful. I was there in November. My camera was telling me to quit with the shutter. LOL.

This is the cathedral: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santi_Apostoli,_Rome

It's just north of the Coliseum. I walked 13 miles that day even going to the Vatican. Camera was tired. Feet were tired. Eyes were tired winking into the viewfinder!

Love the pics Trevor, Chuck. Trevor, great catch of the light beam into the cathedral.
