Imagine trying to do a time lapse shoot that will give you about 60 seconds of footage, but takes two years to complete. Well that’s exactly what BBC Natural History did.
Thanks to Syn at OCAU for the link.
This one is for the space freaks out there. Super Slow motion footage that is pretty damn close to the actual launch pad. Actually, it is in the launch pad!

Hi Ho, Hi Ho., originally uploaded by norbography.
Do you want to take magnificent photos of all things natural? Well BBC Wildlife Magazine has a 12 part series, in PDF form, that will give you all the tips you need to take some stunning photos. Obviously, not everyone has lions and antelope in their back yards, but at least if you do ever get to the African savanna, you’ll have the knowledge to get that shot.
As a way to revive the blog after a very slow month, I am going to have a theme for the month of May. There will be other posts as well, but I want to have a look back at events that were covered in the past.
Out of the blocks first is this group of photos over at The Frame. (*** PLEASE BE WARNED, THERE ARE SOME DISTURBING IMAGES IN THE SET***)
The Frame: Looking back at the Vietnam War.

Results in photography are getting faster and faster. Gone are the days of developing film, (well, for most people) these days it is on the interwebs seconds after the photo is taken. So, to slow things down, how about you change your shutter speed from 1/100th of a second, to one exposure per hundred years!
The Century Camera – Issue 018 – GOOD.
What a concept. Who is willing to give it a shot?
This will come as no surprise to the people that know me, but I am pulling the pin on the 52 Week self portrait project, and the iPhone 365 Day project. I thought it would push me. I thought I would enjoy the challenge. I thought I might have grown up and wouldn’t get bored with it. I was wrong.
That said, I did manage 36 stunningly gorgeous self portraits. That’s a whopping 69.32% finished.
The iPhone 365 project was less successful. 50 shots so far, that equates to 13.69%. A massive failure in anyone’s books. Given the fact that I carry the bastard with me everywhere I go, it is a disappointment.
What does this mean for my photography? Bugger all really. I will still be out there pointing my light capture box at all manner of things, just not as part of a strictly regimented project. Having to meet a deadline isn’t one of my strong points and I get bored easily. I don’t know what I was thinking.
Something else it has shown me is the fantastic effort made by people like Kendra “Chapendra” Sundvall, who is on her 4th 365 Day project, and still going strong.
The uber talented Lakshal “Lucky” Perera, who last year produced some terrific work in his 52 Weeks Project.
Also, Andrew “Andrew G” Gunsberg is currently about 75% of the way through his own 365 Day project, and it has all sorts of goodness in it.
It takes a hell of a lot of patience, talent, discipline and creativity to finish these things off, and I don’t have an overflowing cup of any of them. I tips me lid to all the people out there doing this sort of thing. Well done.
N.B. If you know of other great 365D or 52W projects, let me know in the comments.
