Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse Time Lapse -> William Castleman

Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse from William Castleman on Vimeo.

For those of us who weren’t able to see the moon last night because of cloud cover or the need to sleep, we’re lucky to have folks out there like University of Florida professor William Castleman who put forth the effort to capture this rare winter solstice full lunar [...]

Panoramic Photography -> Piotr Biernawski

Above are small crops taken from designer and photographer Piotr Biernawski’s panoramic photography portfolio. If you enjoy panoramic photography then his works are a must see. Each one is super crisp and taken at a time of interesting light and atmosphere, making them all feel pretty epic. Click through to see many more of his works [...]

The Emerald City of Seattle -> Photo Book (Full Preview)

The Emerald City of Seattle by James H Schneider jr | Make Your Own Book

It’s been almost exactly six months since I published my first Seattle photo book called ‘So Far Seattle’, using the Blurb book making application. I made a promise to myself that I would publish a second book featuring moments from the [...]

Lori Nix -> 'The City' Photo Set

I love these unkempt urban dioramas by Lori Nix. Above are just three examples of a larger set from her portfolio site called ‘The City’. Instead of going out and finding these spaces in real life she meticulously renders each one as a three dimensional model, and then beautifully photographs them. I’m pretty blown away [...]

Dave Ewald -> Life Photography on Flickr

Former Saint Paul, MN, current Portland, OR designer Dave Ewald has been adding to his Flickr stream lately with what he modestly describes as ‘proof of life’ photography. Some of my favorite shots from his collection (shown above) were taken in 2009 at the ‘Pendleton Round-Up’, one of the ten largest rodeos in the world that [...]

JHSINDESIGN: Night Life project -> Behance

After blogging about dozens of artists and designers that I’ve found on www.behance.net, I finally decided to set up a profile of my own. The first project of mine that I decided to upload is also one of my longest going; a collection of long exposure night photos that I have been building up for [...]

Mark Mawson -> Painting in Water

Mark Mawson’s collection of underwater photography is one of the best of it’s kind that I’ve seen. His ability to conjure up amazing shape with great complexity, texture, light and color is fascinating. I would be very interested to see how his process works, he’s obviously lighting them from below, I’m curious about the overall [...]

My Photography Update -> Shooting with the Canon 7D

You may have noticed (probably not), that I haven’t posted in about a week. In case this is your first visit to circuitbreaks, that is a rare occurrence. I usually post 4-5 times a week… What have I been doing? Well, I took some time off around Labor Day, saw some bands at ‘Bumbershoot‘, the [...]

Rolling Shutter -> Photo Effect Oddity

I thought the above in-flight turbo prop pictures taken by Jason Mullins with his iPhone 4 were pretty amazing, and at first I had thought maybe they were an odd Photoshop experiment of some kind. As it turns out, it’s a photographic phenomenon/effect called ‘rolling shutter’ that occurs when an image is scanned either from top [...]

Flickr Set: Hong Kong and Macau in the 1950s -> Phil Roeder

I’m finding a ton of amazing things on Flickr lately. The above shots are vintage photos taken by Des Moines based Photographer Phil Roeder’s father (possibly with a Zeiss Ikon Contessa from what I’ve gathered from his Flickr page) while travelling Hong Kong and Macau in the 1950s. Wonderful retro coloring and contrast along with the fact [...]

Flickr Photo Stream -> kevin Saint Grey

These shots by Kevin Saint Grey are beautifully captured and pretty much mind blowing. Taken with a Canon 40D by using some pretty interesting panning techniques that I don’t fully understand, his images become surreal and abstract works of art. I love these examples for their clean lines and bold color, he’s got some other [...]

Cole Rise 'Antimethod' -> Flickr Photo Stream

The photography by California based Cole Rise (flickr name: Antimethod) is inspiring, to say the least. Shot primarily with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II his sensibility to light, texture and landscape is impeccable, taking everyday scenery, applying his technique and artistry and making it something so much more epic. Be sure to check out [...]

Creative Imagery 'Zefiro Torna' -> Lieven Dirckx

These stunning photographic images by Lieven Dirckx remind me of the rich, deep, luminescent ‘old master’ oil paintings that I’ve spent time in front of, with jaw dropped, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The works by Rembrandt in particular come to mind… Only, these images venture into a very surreal and dreamlike place and [...]

Mannequin Portraits -> JHSINDESIGN Flickr Set

Last weekend I caught myself taking another randomly found mannequin photo while walking around the Fremont Sunday outdoor market (the top black and white image). Over time I’ve accumulated a few these mannequin shots, so I’ve decided to create a little Flickr photo set of them that I hope to expand upon. More beyond the [...]

So Far Seattle -> Photo Book (full preview)

I’ve posted about my photo book project a couple of times here on CircuitBreaks.com, and I’m now posting to let you all know that it’s finally up for a full preview and if you really, really dig it… for purchase on Blurb.com. I had a great time taking the pics, pulling them all together and [...]
