Looking Up With Vertical Horizon

Vertical Horizon

Here’s a reminder to look up occasionally! I love these particular photo series of Hong Kong buildings from Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze – it’s such a simple concept, looking up instead of ahead, but he took these pix with such artistry you can’t help staring at them, the colours and shapes are amazing! Here are some of…

Weekend Wanderlusting: The Swirling Rainbow River of Cano Cristales

Cano Cristales

This river in Colombia called the Caño Cristales turns multi-coloured when transitioning from the wet to dry seasons in September to November every year. The beautiful colours are caused by the algae in the water that turns red when it blooms. It’s not the easiest spot to get to though – you need to get to…

Tiny People Go Swimming – Miniature Underwater Photography by Jason Isley

UW-3

I love diving and on my last Manado dive trip, I have been working on improving my underwater photography from ‘what-was-that’ blurriness to generally decent shots with the occasional accidental Wow shot. But I don’t think I could have been as inventive as Jason Isley, co-founder and MD of Scubazoo, who brought various miniature toy…

Jac goes Analog with Lomo

LS-3

All excited for my upcoming UAE/Munich trip! For my bigger trips this year, I’m trying to do a little something special each time around – I did a test-run with the Micro Scooter Luggage in Osaka previously, and this time around I’m taking the plunge and embracing good ol’ film photography alongside my usual digital…

New York from Day to Night with Stephen Wilkes

StephenWilkes_2

There are panoramic 360 degree shots, but how about 24-hour timelapse shots? Stephen Wilke’s photography is just that, where he blends together quite seamlessly shots of places over a 24-hour time period, so you can literally see the transformation of that place from day to night. Quite spectacular! Some shots below, more of Stephen Wilke’s…

Terra Sacra Time Lapses

TerraSacra_1

Saw this off Matador’s page… 6 years, 7 continents, 24 countries, Sean F White filmed and edited a really lovely 6-min film of timelapse videos, collected from all around the world. It’s so inspirational! I particularly love the night shots where you can see the night sky turn and the stars shift, and while I…

Pix thanks to simonlan.idv.tw After a long, long holiday break, I was trying very hard to get back to work when I came across The Cool Hunter’s post on Amazing Places to Visit Part 1 (check out all the parts! The pix are amazing!). Am totally wanderlusting on a Friday afternoon… Pix like these make…

Motivational Scenery All Year Round

365 4

i first saw this off Design Crush and it brought me to 365q, a website by Julian Bialowas, graphic designer and photographer extraordinaire who did something very simple for 1 whole year (he just finished recently!) – took a great photo and an inspirational quote, put them together in the most beautiful way possible, and…

Around The World In The Comfort Of Your Room

abelardo1

Wouldn’t this be a cool idea for a boutique hotel room? Or maybe your own bedroom if you’re adventurous… Instead of paintings and wallpaper, you project scenes of different places on it, immersing yourself in the beauty without having to leave your room… It’d definitely make me want to stay in that hotel for a…
