Instagram. Again.

My fascination with Instagram is endless. Yes, maybe endless for now, but it seems endless. Anyway, someone just showed me this website to add more fuel to my Instagram fire.

New York City Corners

I figured this post was fitting since I spent Saturday up at a Yankees game and wandering New York City. I'd post my own photos, but they're all of friends at the game, dinner, and random shenanigans. Well, here's one of me for fun. :)

Anyway, back to my original post.

Street corners, then and now.

And the full website, which is just solely photos of New York City Street corners.

Mandala art

Enjoy these beautiful photos by Kathy Klein.

It's hard to pick only one or two favorite photos to post on here. There are so many stunning mandalas!

Crazy storms

I forgot to post this link last week. Some of you may have lost some power a week or so ago with that crazy storm. Or, perhaps the only effect the storm had on you was not being able to get onto Netflix or Instagram.

This photographer, Jim Reed, got some amazing photos of the storm, and other storms from the past. Check out his recent photos.

One of my favorites from last year.

Space Weather

You all may be sick of me posting NASA links and things of the sort. Well, good news this isn't a NASA link! It's a Spaceweather.com link! :)

Either way I think you'll enjoy these photos... they're beautiful. The photos usually have information on location, exposure, camera, filters etc.

Here's two of my favorites.

Remembering Dick Clark

My heart goes out to the friends and family of Dick Clark. Yahoo posted this great photo gallery yesterday. I don't believe I've ever seen young photos of him...

Very cool NASA. Very cool.

Photographer Ira Fox came up with an interesting way to take photos of people... via puddles.

Living on the Edge

This photographer goes where some just can't handle. If you're afraid of heights you may have a problem with some of these photos!

It's not the camera...

I used to work in a camera store. The most frustrating thing was when a customer would come in, who never owned a camera before, and wanted the best of the best because it would give them great photos.

Just because you have a Canon 5D Mark II doesn't mean you're going to get amazing photos like a professional photographer who also owns a Canon 5D Mark II.

To prove that it isn't just the camera, here is a great page to check out. Thirteen point and shoots were given to professional photographers, the photos they took and their comments.

Even Life Makes Mistakes

Life Magazine admits that not all of their covers are the best...

Here is a link to their 20 worst covers. Some are just kind of crappy, and some are slightly horrifying.




It makes you feel better to know that a huge well known company like Life would admit they have faults!

Photowalk

Every year in October, for one entire weekend, Scott Kelby (publisher of Photoshop magazine), hosts a Photowalk which is located all over the world. Photographers get together in their nearby city, wander around for the day and just take photos. Choice photos can then be submitted and a winning photo is chosen. The photos are amazing.

Although this isn't the winner, this is my favorite from this year's top picks.
