The collection shows images of famous superheroes alone with their thoughts while in tranquil environments. Continue reading »

Fantastic Dot Art of Nikki Douthwaite
Art work that takes ages and will hurt your eyes.
“My work for the last three years has been based around two mediums; dot art (also known as confetti art) and collage. My dot art is made by using coloured dots produced by a hole punch, and painstakingly stuck on, one by one, with a pair of tweezers. This idea came from the works of Georges-Pierre Seurat, studying his pointillist paintings from the late 19th century. My collages are made from magazine articles relevant to the subject of the picture.”

Fantastic Infrared Photography by Oleg Stelmakh
In infrared photography, the film or image sensor used is sensitive to infrared light. The part of the spectrum used is referred to as near-infrared to distinguish it from far-infrared, which is the domain of thermal imaging. Wavelengths used for photography range from about 700 nm to about 900 nm. Film is usually sensitive to visible light too, so an infrared-passing filter is used; this lets infrared (IR) light pass through to the camera, but blocks all or most of the visible light spectrum (the filter thus looks black or deep red).
Breathtaking infrared photos by Oleg Stelmakh, a photographer from Ukraine. Take a look! Continue reading »
