Fantastic Long Exposure Shots of Fireflies

These fantastic photographs have been captured at various locations in the Maniwa and Okayama Prefectures in Japan between 2008 and 2011. The genius of these photographs lies in the simplicity and the beauty they capture. Captured using a slow shutter speed camera, the images show gold fireflies mating after thunderstorms during June-July.

Macrophotographs Show Insects Being Non-ugly

We’re not sure if there is something like insects being non-ugly, because we could swear those critters are so totally fugly. But the magic of photography is so keen to prove otherwise. This particular set of insect macrophotography comes from Myrmecos, who has just posted a collection of his best photographs for the world to [...]

Forest Wonderlands Photographed by Lars van de Goor

Lars van de Goor is a Netherlands based photographer. One with the penchant of capturing the beauty of the woods and presenting the same in a very interesting way. His wonderful pieces have won him Hasselblad Masters Award 2012, which seems only natural after having feasted our eyes on these wonderful images.

Photographs Alternate Between Tiny and Gigantic People

In scenes created by artist Jean-Francois Fourtou, it seems people oscillate between the land of giants and the land of dwarves. Although it seems the artist found more information for the pieces from Alice in Wonderland, rather than the somewhat more suggestive Gulliver’s Travels. The surrealism of the scenes though keeps viewers mesmerized.

The Human Flamingo

Just Lovely: Superheroines in Pinup Poses

Superheroines could trump superheroes any given day, simply by virtue of having the talent to pose for pinup photographs. These illustrations by Thom Chiaramonte of Third Rail Design Lab show famous superheroines in pinup styles, all without giving up their heroic looks. Though Wilma seems to have undergone quite a makeover for the set.

Steampunk Mechanical Animals

If these were blueprints, we could one day have “real” mechanical Steampunk animals. Given the lack of text on the artist’s website, we’ll assume these intricate drawings are the work of Russian artist gvozdariki, who seems to be quite adept at animal form and the mechanical structure they could take. They do look like a [...]

Game of Thrones Gets an Adorable Animal Form Upgrade

Cute and adorable are probably the last things Game of Thrones would be associated with. And not at all with cutesy, lovey dovey angles ready to break into song at the drop of a hat. Those sort of things are more suited for children’s cartoons, and not a bloodthirsty game of politics and power. Imagination [...]

Going Super Minimalist With Superhero Posters

We enjoy minimalism, but really how minimalist can you actually get without completely loosing touch? We’d like to think these minimalist posters by Gidi Vigo make the limits very clear. The artist has reduced portraits of superheroes to simply the colors they can be identified by.
