  • Turning the Black Sea blue: NASA’s image of the day shows phytoplankton bloom

    The Black Sea is one of the largest bodies of water on earth, measuring 168,500 square miles, and it turns out not to be black at all. NASA’s appropriately-named Aqua satellite captured this shot last month, showing the deep blues and turquoise colors of the Sea from an orbital altitude of 438 miles. This is actually a composite image, made up of multiple photographs taken during several passes over the region.

    The light-colored swirls are billions of phytoplankton – floating microscopic organisms plated with calcium carbonate.

  • This flower bloom time-lapse took three years and 8TB of raw footage to create

    You can pick your favorite symbol of springtime from any number of familiar images. In Seattle, the local favorite is a rain-soaked figure clutching a latte with a cold, dead look in their eyes. But it’s hard to beat the natural beauty and optimism of a blooming flower. That’s the imagery that dominates filmmaker Jamie Scott’s recent time-lapse titled ‘Spring,’ a follow-up to his popular video ‘Fall’ of a couple of years ago.

    He gives FStoppers a fascinating look at what it takes to create a time-lapse of this scope. Not surprisingly, a lot of patience and hard drive space were involved. Watch the video, check out the behind-the-scenes and let us know what you think in the comments.

    The Flower House was given over to contributing florists, each encouraged to turn a space, wall or ceiling into a blank canvas for their creations. The results are remarkable.

    Following the project, “the house that held the exhibition will be responsibly deconstructed and its materials repurposed. the land will be converted into a flower farm and design center on their formerly neglected properties.”

  • Friday Freebie: Spring Bloom


    This Weeks Friday Freebie iPad Wallpaper: Spring Bloom
    Friday Freebie features an image to liven up your iPad display with images from my travels… all for free.

    Spring is in the air and that means wildflowers. While, Mustard pictured above, is not a California wildflower I always associate early mustard blooms with the beginning of the wildflower season.  Over the years I’ve seen some rather amazing varieties of wildflowers from dwarf species in the arctic to well known California species such as the California Poppy.  If you’re curious to see more of my wildflower photos look no further than this link. Thanks for checking in and enjoy this Friday’s Freebie.
