Google did a great job on summarizing all the big events into a short Youtube video. Also, on Youtube, there are some great music videos that are mashed up of all the popular songs that were created in 2011. Love them or hate them, they’re all in one place. It’s kind of fun to listen to the remixes and figure...

Happy holidays! I hope you guys enjoyed the past weekend as much as I did. My daily agenda has been consisting of eat, sleep, play, and repeat. I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten enough for a whole week. There’s food everywhere I turn; in fact, I just took a fat nap after having a giant breakfast before writing this post. There were so many people in the house, it was like chaos, in the most fun, exciting and energetic way. As I...

Beautiful time-lapse photography is difficult enough to achieve, but attempting it in HDR (high dynamic range) photography adds another layer of complexity as was done here successfully in France (Normandy & Britany). This means the photographer had to take bracketed photos at different exposure levels for each individual frame, and then post-process those bracketed sets into HDR in a way that the lighting stays consistent so something...

Just in time for the holidays! “Snow Globe Los Angeles” is a short time-lapse film that captures the city of L.A. during the holiday season. Photographers Colin Mika & Brandon Vedder of All Cut Up Films created this beautiful time lapse of Los Angeles with a twist (or actually two). The first is that the entire film was shot through a snow globe, which I assume means that the camera was upside down for the entire duration...
