Mark Winterbourne took an avid interest in aviation photography in the early 2000’s. He’s been shooting various subjects since 1979 but developed this love for mixing airliners with light and color when the digital camera become more accessible.

This is a short California time-lapse by Edwin Martinez which includes star trails.

During the summer of 2011, Hejorama started a project called Disposable Stories. They gave 10 disposable cameras to 10 people in Paris to take with them on a trip and be the first link in a chain of five persons who were each to take five photos.

This is a neat project. User submitted clips were chosen to put together a piece featuring one second moments.

Ukrainian photographer Oleg Oprisco creates portraits that I consider truly exceptional – each image has its own atmosphere, and calls on each sense to awaken and become a part of his work. Tones, composition, subject, and emotion all come together in a harmonious way thanks to Oleg’s ingenious mind – he has a true signature style that you instantly recognize as being an Oprisco.

This interesting star trail time-lapse by Samir Neffati is something that you don’t see too often. Now that time-lapse photography is becoming more mainstream, it’s neat to see some photographers trying new techniques.

The profoundly talented Suzana Ristic is another one of my favorite photographers – her ability to transcend time with each image, and invoke such strong emotions with her creativity is a rare find. I find the tones that she uses to be soothing, and her eye for strong compositions always pull me into each photograph.
