The importance of bees cannot be understated. In the US alone, the Department of Agriculture estimated that bees pollinate about 80% of flowering crops, constituting about 1/3 of everything Americans eat. Their ability to pollinate has a tremendous environmental and economic impact on the entire globe.
And now their influence is spreading to the art world where artists have used bees’ ability to build honeycomb to create sculptures made of the hexagonal wax cells. Honey bees naturally build honeycomb in their nests to contain their larvae and stores of honey and pollen. Below you will find a collection of bee art sculptures from various artists who have been experimenting with this technique since the early 2000s. Enjoy!
Dewar’s ’3-B’ Printing Project
Whisky brand Dewar’s 3-B printing project was a collaboration with their marketing agencies, Sid Lee and The Ebeling Group. To promote their new Highlander Honey flavour, Dewar’s created honeycomb sculptures of the bottle and bust of the company’s famous ‘drinking man’ with the help of 80,000 bees and master bee keeper Robin Theron.
Typically, honeybees build their honeycomb hives inward so that their queen can populate it with eggs. So in order to create the sculptures the team had to invert the bees’ instinct to build inward by creating a 3-D model template for the bees to build on and off of. To ‘encourage’ the bees, the team wrapped the 3-D model with a base of honeycomb wax and ‘lightly’ textured hexagonal pattern. The clear outer casing helped mimic the enclosed space of a normal hive.

Manuel Cosentino is an Italian artist and photographer. He studied at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Rome, specializing in motion design before moving to London where he worked as a Visual Effects Artist in the film Industry. After contributing to several movies including Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix and Narnia Prince Caspian he decided to pursue his love for art and focus solely on photography and moved back to Italy.
In a series entitled Behind a Little House, Manuel explains:
“Behind a Little House is an intimate participatory art project which can only be accessed through the pages of an artist book and chooses to sacrifice dissemination (large-scale web 2.0 approach) to reclaim a physical connection with the audience. I wanted the viewer to start as an outside observer, a spectator, and then suddenly realize that they can participate – the wall mounted photographs lead up to the artist book where everyone is invited to contribute by drawing on the last photograph sheared on each page, giving impromptu co-authors the freedom to shape the direction and the content of the artwork. Text, photographs and drawings provide a framework to the interpretation of the artwork until external contribution starts to add to the dialogue. The project – with its open ended narrative – intends to start a conversation with the public; its nature is purposefully left mutable, open to chance and to change.”
The gallery is located at 111 Front Street, Suite 206 in Brooklyn, New York. The Exhibition runs from July 17 – August 10, 2013. The images from Fresh 2013 are also featured in Blink Magazine, Issue #25, 2013 and At Length Mag, Summer 2013.
Wagner Araujo of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, has been selected as the grand-prize winner of National Geographic’s 2013 Traveler Photo Contest, now in its 25th year. Araujo has won a 10-day National Geographic Expedition to the Galápagos for two aboard the National Geographic Endeavour. His winning photo, “Dig Me River,” captures Brazilian Aquathlon participants running into the Rio Negro.
“I photographed it from the water and my lens got completely wet, but there was so much energy in these boys that I just didn’t worry about it,” said Araujo.
Max Seigal of Boulder, Colo., placed second for his image “Thunderstorm at False Kiva” and won a spot in a National Geographic Photography Workshop in Santa Fe, N.M. Third place went to Yanai Bonneh of Negev, Israel, for his image of cheetahs, captioned “Say Cheese.” His prize is a six-day cruise for two on a Maine windjammer schooner. Seven merit prize winners received a print of their photo, matted and framed by the National Geographic Imaging Lab, and a $200 gift certificate to B&H Photo.
The 25th annual photo contest received more than 15,000 entries from photographers around the globe. Contestants submitted photographs in four categories: Travel Portraits, Outdoor Scenes, Sense of Place and Spontaneous Moments. Judging consisted of two rounds of evaluation based on creativity and photographic quality.
To read thoughts from the judges about why each winner was selected, head over to the official winners gallery on National Geographic.

Family portraits are a lot of fun – and they can be highly rewarding, too! However, it’s often tough to get started. After all, how do you pose an entire group of people? How do you interact with them? How do you get great photos?
Thanks to my background in classic-style studio portraiture, plus 25 years of experience photographing portraits and weddings, I have a few tips up my sleeve to share with you.
In fact, with a little planning, doing a family portrait will be fun for both you and the family you’re photographing. Here are 10 tips to help you have a successful and enjoyable photo session.
1. Use a tripod whenever possible
I already know what you’re thinking:
A tripod cramps your style. It’s too heavy and cumbersome, whereas your style is more free-flowing.
Most people are nervous when being photographed. Yes, nervous! Some are downright scared, and some would even go so far as to say that they hate having their photo taken.
So it is part of your job to help your subjects feel more comfortable and relaxed. That can be hard to do when you’re also nervous, especially if you’re new to portraits. But there’s a big advantage of putting that camera on a tripod. Two, actually.
A tripod automatically forces you to slow down. That’s a good thing! You can check your settings, review the composition, and preview the exposure to make sure you’ve got everything right. It’s easy to get carried away once you put the camera up to your eye, only to later realize you had the wrong white balance, your ISO was 6400, or you accidentally shot tiny JPEGs instead of standard RAW files. A tripod will help you slow down to avoid an “Oops!” moment.
A tripod allows you to get your eye away from the camera so you can actually make eye contact with your subjects. Your subjects are very real people, and they feel even more uncomfortable staring straight into your lens than they do looking at you. You can gesture to get the kids’ attention and you can make faces. But you’ll get way better expressions by interacting with your subjects than you’ll get while looking through the viewfinder. Try it!
2. Shoot in Manual mode
Assuming that you’re setting up your family portrait photoshoot in advance, you have control over all the elements.
Meaning that, once you get set up, the exposure should not need to change.
Unfortunately, if you set your camera to Aperture or Shutter Priority mode, depending on the metering mode selected, the camera could choose a slightly different exposure for each frame. You do not want that! Consistency is very important.
Inconsistent exposures create more work in post-processing, as you have to even out all the photos. Plus, they can cause a slight color shift, increase noise (if some of the shots are underexposed), and result in other undesirable things.
To keep your exposures consistent throughout the whole shoot, use Manual mode. Just remember that each time you change the pose, location, etc., you need to check the exposure again. I just fire off a quick test shot, review the histogram, adjust if necessary, and continue.
3. Lock the focus
Just as you do not want the exposure to change from frame to frame, neither do you want the focus to be adjusted. Assuming you’re using a tripod, you will not be moving. And if you’ve posed your group in a relatively static position, they should not be moving, either. Not much, anyway. Here, we are only concerned with moving closer to the camera, or further away from the camera.
So set your camera up to do one of the following: use focus lock, use back button focus, or use manual focus. With any of those options, the focus will not change from shot to shot.
If you use the shutter button to focus and someone moves a little bit so that the focus dot hits the background, you’ll have another “Oops!” moment. If you aren’t sure how to focus using one of the methods I recommended above, consult your camera manual.
Bonus tip:
Here’s an easy way to focus manually with pinpoint accuracy:
Turn on Live View so you can see the image on your screen. Hit your Zoom button (it may have a magnifying glass or a “+” sign on it) once or twice. The image on the rear LCD will zoom in so you can see what is in focus, which allows for more precise manual focusing. Press the Zoom button again to return to normal view and turn off Live View.
4. Stagger the heads
What you want to avoid here is a boring straight line, straight row, or straight column of heads. Diagonal lines are more dynamic and add interest to an image, so try to do that with the people in your portrait group.
Imagine there is a line drawn from each face to the next. Try and position your subjects so that no head is directly on top of, or beside (on the same level), another. Make diagonal lines, not flagpoles.
Use props to seat some people or bring some small folding stools. Have some people sit down or stand up on something. Use objects in the environment to pose your subjects, or if you have nothing available, just arrange them so the heights are staggered.
5. If it bends, bend it
This is a general rule for photographing people, and it’s a good one. People tend to stand stiff and rigid when you position them, so you need to get them to bend a few body parts to look more natural. Nobody naturally stands stiff as a board.
Here are a few starter poses:
Get your subject to shift their weight to one foot and stick out one hip away from the camera.
Get your subject to put a hand in a pocket. I usually recommend they put their thumb out, otherwise they have a tendency to shove their hand to the bottom of the pocket, which looks unnatural.
Get your subject to hook a finger on their belt or through a belt loop.
If your subject is sitting, have them lean forward a bit and put weight on one hip.
If your subject is standing against something, have them cross one foot over the other, toe down.
Have sitting (males) put one knee up, foot flat on the ground (but make sure they rotate so you aren’t looking straight at their crotch).
You get the idea. The best way to get someone to do any of this is to do it yourself and have them mirror you. Face them, do the pose you want them to do, and have them mimic it exactly.
An example of bending body parts. The girls did a much better job here than the guys, but even the arms bent at the elbow helps. Some people are stiff, and they may present a challenge. Just do your best.
6. Let kids be kids
I’ve found that often parents will tell their kids, “You need to be good and smile” before a photo session. For many kids, this puts too much pressure on them to perform. I usually prepare parents by getting them to tell their kids this instead:
We’re going to the park to take some photos. It will be a lot of fun.
That’s it! Set no expectations other than fun. Then you, as the photographer, should prepare yourself. Bring along props, and get Mom to bring one of the kids’ favorite toys or books. I usually have a hand puppet and bubbles in my camera bag along with my gear. If the kids don’t want to sit and smile, don’t force them. Let them run around and be kids for a while and shoot that. Play with them; make it fun. A few minutes later, they may cooperate and sit for a bit.
When I’m photographing kids, I make a total idiot of myself. I make funny noises, I sing songs (I’m really bad, but they don’t care), I make fish faces, and I play peek-a-boo behind the camera. I run back and forth to the camera with my hand puppet. I lie on the ground. I stick my butt out. Kids are the ones that have life the right way around; it’s us adults that ruin it. Let them be kids, and let them have fun. Then be ready to capture the fun when it happens!
This was a game of peek-a-boo around the tree. Look at those genuine smiles! You can’t force those.
7. Pose people to flatter them
Here’s the bottom line:
If Mom thinks she looks fat, then she isn’t going to like the photos, no matter how great the lighting and expressions (see the next tips). So you’ve got to get the posing right.
Be aware of people’s perceived “flaws” and work with them. Here are some quick tips:
If someone has a bigger bottom half, don’t pose them walking away from the camera using a wide-angle lens.
For double chins, take a slightly higher camera angle (above the subject’s eye level). Making them look up stretches their neck and minimizes the chin/neck area.
A bump on a nose will show up when they face one way and not the other (usually). So study their face to find out which way to shoot them.
When you have a couple with a huge height difference, get the taller partner to stand with their feet further apart. That will make them slightly shorter, closing the gap a bit.
For really heavy people (or those overly self-conscious of their weight), use the lying down in the grass pose and pile the kids on top (as shown in the image below). It works great every time, because it hides tummies, stretches out chins, and makes the kids closer in size (it just shows faces!).
The lying in the grass, pile on top pose. It’s great for families with small children. This family didn’t need the pose to correct anything; it’s just fun having the kids jump on top and squish Mom and Dad.
8. Lighting is king; get some in their eyes
Light can make or break any photograph, and portraits are no different. The biggest thing you want to make sure you do for portraits is to get light into your subjects’ eyes. There are many ways to do that, and it’s a huge topic, but here are a few things you can do to start off with good light:
Choose the time of day to do the portraits very carefully. Generally, late evening – about an hour before dusk – is the best time for portraits. Why? Because the sun is lower in the sky, and you don’t get the harsh overhead light you do at midday. Light is more directional, and it’s usually a bit diffuse if there’s haze on the horizon.
If you can’t shoot at dusk, find some shade. Get the family out of the sun, but make sure you don’t get a lit-up background. Bright areas in the background will draw attention away from the subjects. Look for areas in the shade of large buildings or under large trees.
Avoid shooting on an overcast day simply because the lighting is even and less harsh than bright sunlight. While it is true the light is softer and less harsh, the direction isn’t great. Overcast days give you direct overhead lighting and dark eyes, especially for anyone with deep eye sockets.
Add some light using a reflector or a flash if need be. Again, this is a complex subject, but learn to tell when you need more light on your subjects’ faces. Here’s a quick tip: If you cannot see a catchlight (the light source reflected in your subject’s eyes), then there isn’t enough light on their face!
Just as important as getting some light in the eyes is having it come from a good direction. We’ve established that overhead isn’t good direction, and neither is light straight from the camera. So turning on your built-in pop-up flash isn’t going to give you good light. Neither is mounting an off-camera flash above your camera. Light direct from the camera flattens the subject, and that is not what you want.
This was done just before sunset. The sun is coming over the kids’ shoulders on the left (from behind). I used a flash bounced into an umbrella off to the left to add light to their faces. Without the flash, they’d be in shadow.
9. Expression is everything
Lighting is king, but getting the right expression is everything! You can totally screw up the lighting and the pose, but if you get your subjects laughing or making the perfect face, the photo will be a big hit!
So how do you do this?
Being a photographer means that you sometimes have to be a comedian or a clown. Knowing the right thing to say or do to make people smile is mostly experience.
Sometimes you’ll get tough adults, too. The dad in the photo above by the brick wall pretty much has the same expression all the time. I’ve known this family and photographed them for 13 years; they’re my friends. So I know I can bug the dad a little bit or get out the ducky to have some fun at his expense.
If there are small children or babies involved, make sure to get their attention. It even helps to have an assistant; tell them to bring Grandma along or a friend to help out.
What always happens is you get the kids all looking and smiling, but what are the parents doing? Looking at the kids! I always tell the parents, “No matter what, keep looking at me as I make a total fool of myself. Do not look at your child!”
The baby is laughing, while everyone else followed instructions and looked at me. Success!
10. Have a little fun with it
The last tip is to not take yourself so seriously. Create a few really whacky shots at the end of the session (or even in the middle of the session if the energy seems to be fading).
Tell your subjects to do a group squish and really get them to squish. Often, they will start laughing, and as they pull apart, you can grab the shot.
Do a pile-on down in the grass. Ask your subjects to jump in the air or make goofy faces (you make one, too!). It breaks the tension and lightens up the mood.
I was making a similar face!
My off-camera flash stopped working, so this shot used on-camera flash (not my first choice!). But we were all tired and I thought this would be fun, so we just went for it. Notice how Dad has a new expression!
Bonus tip
Get the family to think about what they are going to wear ahead of time.

یک شبکه اجتماعی پویا با کاربران مشتاق، پیگیر و خلاقی مشخص میشود که با کمک هم با یک تحقیق، از اطلاعات خام آنلاین یا آفلاین به فهم جدیدی میرسند. یا با کمک هم گره از کار کسی میگشایند یا اینکه با داغ کردن هدفدار مطالب جالب اما پنهان موجود در اینترنت، باعث توجه ما به ناشناختهها میشوند.
شبکه اجتماعی ردیت در این میان یک استثنا است و پیشتر از این در یک پزشک بارها در مورد ابتکارات کاربران این شبکه برایتان نوشتهام.
از این لحاظ کاربران ردیت در مقایسه با کاربران فیسبوک، کاربری فعال active دارند تا کاربری غیرفعال passive.
مدتی است که تعدادی از کاربران آماتور و حرفهای ردیت از نظر توانایی ویرایش عکس، دست به کار جالبی زدهاند و در این آدرس، عکسهای تاریخی سیاه و سفید را رنگی میکنند.
عکسهای سیاه و سفید البته اصالت خاصی دارند و بعضیها اصلا دوست ندارند که تغییراتی را در این عکسها شاهد باشند، اما در مقابل بعضیها هم میگویند که دنیای واقعی هیچگاه سیاه و سفید نیست، پس چرا نباید خودمان را از تصور شرایط دنیای واقعی بازتاب داده شده در این عکسها محروم کنیم.
در این پست تعدادی از این عکسها را مرور میکنیم:
۱- لندن سال ۱۹۴۵، پسرکی سرگردان در خرابههای بمباران، عروسکی در دست دارد: پسر وقتی از بازی به سمت خانه آمد، دید خانهاش خراب شده و پدر و مادر و برادرش مردهاند، در چهره او تحیر و همچنین تضاد و بیاعتنایی به شرایط تازهای که در آن گیر افتاده، نمودار است.
۲- سقوط بالن هیندنبورگ در ششم می سال ۱۹۳۷: فاجعه هیندنبورگ به واقعه آتشسوزی در کشتی هوایی الزد ۱۲۹ هیندنبورگ در نیوجرسی گفته میشود، در طی آن ۹۷ نفر از سرنشینان کشتی هوایی و ۳۵ نفر روی زمین (به علت سقوط کشتی) آتش گرفتند. این واقعه باعث شد تا استفاده از کشتی هوایی منسوخ شود.
این کشتی هوائی با حجمی برابر دویست هزار متر مکعب، وزنی برابر ۲۴۲ تن و طولی برابر با ۲۵۰ متر بود. این بالن با ۶۰ خدمه و ۱۵ مهماندار تنها در کار مسافربری بود. دستگاههای هدایت بالن هیندبرگ در محلی در جلوی آن کار گذاشته شده بود.
اتاق خلبان جلوی مرکز کنترل قرار داشت که بتواند همیشه برای کارهای اضطراری آماده باشد و در ۲۴ ساعت سه کمک خلبان در شیفتهای ۸ ساعته خدمت میکردند این بالن تا آخرین سفر هوائی خود در ۱۹۳۷ جمعاً ۱۰۴۲ مسافر را جابهجا کرد.
۳- کمانگیرهای ژاپنی، سال ۱۸۶۰:
۴- سال ۱۸۶۴، جنگهای داخلی آمریکا، منظره شهر نشویل ایالت تنسی از فراز عمارت پارلمان ایالتى:
۵- کارگر بیکار، سال ۱۹۳۹:
۶- لاشه خودرو – واشنگتن، سال ۱۹۲۱:
۷- – سال ۱۹۵۳، لس آنجلس، جی مکنیلی در حال هنرنمایی:
۸- تابستان سال ۱۹۳۹، آلبرت اینشتین در لانگ آیلند در نیویورک:
ما هم در تاریخمان عکسهای سیاه و سفید تاریخی زیادی داریم، میخواستم در اینجا پیشنهاد کنم دوستانی خوشسلیقهای که مهارت خوبی در فتوشاپ دارند، در صورت تمایل لطف کنند و با انتخاب خودشان بعد از رنگی کردن تعدادی از این عکسها، آنها را برای من ایمیل کنند تا در قالب پستی با نام خودشان در «یک پزشک» منتشر شود تا ضمن یک رقابت آنلاین، همه ما از نتیجه کار این دوستان بهره ببریم.
این پیشنهاد چندین فایده دارد:
- مهارت فتوشاپ و ترمیم و رنگی کردن عکس شما به چالش کشیده میشود.
- از این راه نگاهی دوبارهای میتوانیم بیندازیم به تاریخمان.
مسلم است که هر چقدر شما از عکسهای جالبتری و نادیدهتری استفاده کنید و هر چقدر مهارت شما در ترمیم عکس بهتر باشد، میزان تأثیرگذاری بیشتری خواهید داشت.
Life becomes more beautiful when we have someone to give their unconditional love, yes I mean our pet animals who share a beautiful warm bonding with us.

Benjamin Zank is a young fine art photographer based in New York City. He caught the photography bug a few years ago, at the age of 18, after picking up a Pentax ME Super 35mm film SLR from the attic of his grandmother’s house, and has been creating incredible concept images ever since.
Zank graduated recently from the SUNY Purchase with a degree in journalism. In recent years, he has been working on a 365 Project through his Flickr account, where he regularly posts surreal images with simple ideas. Many of the images are self portraits, and they’re often inspired by the work of photographer Rodney Smith.
In an interview with Phlearn, Zank states that he shoots nearly every day for the ongoing project, and spends up to three hours outdoors for each image (with much of the time spent wandering around).
Gear-wise, Zank used to shoot with a Canon 5D Mark II and a 50mm f/1.4… before they felt into a swamp and died. He now uses a Nikon D90 and an 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 lens.
Although currently living in the United States, crochet artist Olek recently returned to her native country of Poland for an epic project. Over the course of two straight (and rainy) days, Olek and her team of four assistants ‘yarn bombed’ an entire locomotive with two freight cars in tow. Olek had already crocheted many of the panels beforehand but they still had to be assembled to cover the train.
The team worked through the night to pull off the massive undertaking, debuting the crocheted train on July 13th. It will be on display in Lodz, Poland, until August 19th. The project was done in collaboration with the city and was authorized. She calls the piece ‘Deadly Romance’.
Her vision is parallel to art, Beth Parnaby has got amazing talent in surprising us with some of the most beautiful and arresting self-portraits. These portraits are meaningful and guides the viewer into her own world. Natural lighting with minimal gear above all loads of imagination is what she calls the ingredients for a beautiful portrait.
Go through this brief interview as Beth speaks much about her thought process, inspirations and shares us few good advice too. It is quite unbelievable for us as we start appreciating these self-portraits coming from a humble 18 year old.
Meet Beth Parnaby a beautiful artist..
Few words about you?
My name is Beth Parnaby and I’m eighteen years old from England, UK. I’ve been photographing for maybe four years or so and since I started I’ve never really stopped. I like to create.
What made you choose portrait photography & how would you describe your style?
I think everything goes back to when I was young and my mother had always been an artist in her own right with painting and helping me make my own messes when I was a child, because, after that I was the one who became solely interested in creating things. It started with arts and crafts until I progressed to drawing/painting portraits and then moved forward into photography.
I become taken in by the person or people and create a world within the photograph where the subject is the main focus. I’m not entirely sure if there is a specific ‘why’ to being interested in portrait photography other than because I find people, male or female, incredibly fascinating. As for my style, I really enjoy working where there are parallels, symmetry and lines as well as in natural lighting.
How do you achieve this stellar mood in your portraits?
Stellar? haha I’ve never heard my work being described as stellar before. I really don’t know. Natural lighting, environments (weather, location), my moods and my emotions tend to get my images to what they are when they are finalized and uploaded.
Although, this, which may also add to the mood in them, is that i rarely completely alter my images from their originals. I like to keep them simple. My post processing is slight and minimal, not a tonne, so they ultimately are what they were just with a little bit of a kick.
Your Inspiration?
Whenever i’m asked this I am certain that I always give a different answer but I guess that’s because there’s no definitive or singular thing that is inspiration. Recently, I like the weather and the sky and quiet places. Anything, really.
Your gear?
I shoot with a Canon 550D and nearly always with my 50mm lens. As well as my tripod and remote which stick with me through thick and thin. Literally.
How do you conceive an idea and transform it into a photograph?
It’s funny. Sometimes, I just go out and let myself fall into being somewhere where I want to create something but have no other thoughts other than that and just see where I end up. Other times, I go to a place and something clicks and i’m ready for anything with either a bundle of ideas or a single one which I absolutely without hesitation have to create and don’t shoot anything other than that image; alternatively, i will have seen somewhere and instantly had an idea come to me so i go back to that place and shoot it.
So, really, I don’t have a set method of doing it. Although, I have found myself inadvertently planning before, too, where I’ve looked up for specific props or locations. (I am seriously ALWAYS looking for props, locations, dresses, something glittery, wigs, and so on. Seriously. I don’t go ‘clothes shopping’ i go ‘prowling-around-the-shops-to-see-if-anything-will-work-in-a-photograph’-ing).
Thanks again for this wonderful opportunity, Few words of advice for aspiring photographers?
Thank you! It’s been fun putting into words my thoughts about my work. For aspiring photographers I would just say go for it. Enjoy what you do and do what you enjoy, if you keep at it and find yourself getting into a rhythm where you discover what your favourite angles, locations, colour schemes, etc, are in photographs, push further until you have an image that you can say ‘hey. i actually did it.’
Ah, and probably not to go out just before a storm is going to come crashing down on you without a tested AND proven-to-work method of keeping your camera dry. That get’s really scary and reviving your camera is something I, personally, am hoping to never have to go through again

Iranian woman is sometimes a mother. Mother is not just a word. Mother is a culture. Mother is the warmth of home which the whole history owes to. Kitchen is the warmth of home. You can feel the presence of mother in every part of it. where she cooks, where she’s waiting for children to come where she’s waiting for the arrival of a man with whom is really annoyed. Mother’s embrace spreads. Mother’s embrace spreads from the kitchen and finds its way from passageways so that the family can touch calmness. Kitchen is the territory of a general who reaches to peace armless in such cruel wars.
There is this specific and peculiar reason to produce a black and white photograph. The mood and essence of the capture remains intact since there is no external disturbances inside the photograph for you to move away from the poignant and looping silence within, here the same applies for a portrait. The unbearable silence and sensitive curiosity to know more on the lives of these portraits will haunt us forever, as we all know very less is said within a portrait and the rest all happens inside the mind of the onlooker. These pictures are typical evidence for such a mechanism to happen and haunt inside the curious minds of us.
All photos are linked and lead to the sources from which they were taken. Please feel free to explore further works of these photographers on their collections or their personal sites.

Photography as form of art needs some source of inspiration from time to time, especially when you feel you’re out of ideas. There are tons of ways to break out of a creative rut. For example, you can try a new photography genre.
The delight of photography is that there are so many genres and techniques to try out! A person may lack lifetime to do this. (A whole lifetime may be not enough to do this) Even professional photographers have a comfort zone of techniques which they are familiar with. Thus, everyone may learn a lot by trying out something new.
I’ve put together 25 inspirational photography posts handpicked from all over the web. Here you’ll find interviews with famous photographers, summer and ice cream photo ideas, mindblowing moon shots, impressive photography portfolios and photo blogs, awesome long exposure and springtime photography, incredible rain and levitation pictures, and many many more.
The main idea behind today’s showcase is to give you some inspiration for those times when creativity seems hard to come by.
Each photo by Zack Seckler is like a brief story that will definitely make you smile. Some of the pictures here shows ridiculous situations, the others are surreal and random, but all of them are truly funny.

وقتی از «پلکان» صحبت میکنیم بیشتر یاد پلههای داخل ساختمانها میافتیم، پلههایی که اگر زیاد باشند، دوست داریم از آنها صرفنظر کنیم و با آسانسور از مشقت بالا رفتن از آننها راحت شویم.
اما در این پست با هم ۱۲ پلکان بسیار زیبا در فضای باز را مرور میکنیم که آنقدر جذاب هستند که گردشگران زیادی را هر سال به خود جذب میکنند.
۱- پلکان بورن روی کوه Bueren در بلژیک
البته بورن Bueren واقعا یک کوه نیست، فقط یک بلندی در شهر لییژ است، این پلکان ۳۷۴ پله دارد. در سال ۱۸۸۱ این پلکان برای آن ساخته شد که سربازها بتوانند با پرهیز از عبور و مرور در گذرگاههای خطرناک، از یک بلندی واقع در شهر پایین بالا و پایین بروند.
این ساختمان، به افتخار یک اشرافزاده قرن پانزده، به نام وینسنت دو بورن، این نام را گرفته است.
۲- پلکانی در بالای دریا در اسپانیا
این پلکان فوقالعاده زیبا در جزیرهای به نام Gaztelugatxe در اسپانیا قرار دارد.
گردشگران باید ۲۳۷ پله را بالا برون تا به خانهای در بلندای جزیره برسند.
۳- پلکان مارپیچی در کوه تایهانگ در چین
ارتفاع این پاکان ۹۱ متر است، حین صعود، گردشگران میتوانند پرندهها را در اطراف خود ببینند.
به افراد بالای ۶۰ سال اجازه صعود داده نمیشود و بقیه افراد هم باید فرمی را پر کنند و در آن اطمینان بدهند که مشکل قلب یا ریه ندارند.
۴- سکوی رؤیاها در ژاپن
به ژاپنی به این مجموعه زیبا Awaji Yumebutai گفته میشود که متشکل از ساختمانها و اماکنی در جزیره Awaji ژاپن است.
شما در این عکس یک باغ زیبای ۱۰۰ طبقهای را میبینید،.
این باغ برای گرامیداشت درگذشتگان زلزله هانشین در سال ۱۹۹۵ ساخته شده است.
این پلکان نزدیک آبشار Pailon del Diablo ساخته شده است.
۷- چاند بائوری در هند
این مجموعه ساختمانی با پلکانهای عجیباش در نزدیک شهری به نام جایپور در استان راجستان قرار دارد. این مجموعه در سال ۸۰۰ میلادی ساخته شده است و ۳۵۰۰ پله باریک دارد که در ۱۳ طبقه جای داده شدهاند. ارتفاع این مجموعه پلکان ۳۰ متر است.
ایالت راجستان بسیار کمباران است، معمولا در کف چاند بائوری آب جمع میشود و دما در مجاورت کف آن، پنج شش درجهای خنکتر است.
۸- پلکان سانتورینی در یونان
این پلکانها در سال ۱۷۱۵ ساخته شدند و در سال ۱۹۳۰ توسعه داده شدند، معمولا از چهارپایان برای صعود و نزول از این پلکانهای زیگزاگی زیبا استفاده میشود. البته در سال ۱۹۷۹، یک سیستم حمل و نقل کابلی در این پلکان تعبیه شد، اما همچنان روش سنتی محبوبتر است.
این پلکان ۶۵۷ پله دارد، سنگفرششده است و طول مسیر (نه ارتفاع آن) ۱۳۰۰ متر است.
۹- پلکان شلوسبرگ در اتریش
جاذیه اصلی شهر Graz همین پلکان است. این پلکان از همه نقاط شهر قابل دیدن است. این پلکان ۲۶۰ پله دارد.
۱۰- پلکان پوتمکین در اوکراین
این پلکان در شهر اودسای اوکراین قرار دارد. این پلکان در واقع نماد شهر است. وقتی میخواهید از سمت دریا وارد اودسا شوید با این پلکان زیبا مواجه میشوید.
البته به صورت رسمی در حال حاضر به این پلکان، پلکان پریمورسکی گفته میشود.
عرض این پلکانها قبال توجه است و بین ۱۲٫۵ تا ۲۱٫۷ متر متغیر است.
ارتفاع این پلکان از سطح، ۲۷ متر و طول مسیر آن ۱۴۲ متر است.
۱۱- پلکان هایکو در هاوایی
این پلکان به پلکانی به سوی بهشت یا نردبان هایکو هم معروف است. این پلکان بسیار پرشیب است.
این پلکان در سال ۱۹۴۲ در روستای هایکوی هاوایی نصب شد.
در سال ۲۰۰۳ این پلکانها با هزینه ۸۷۵ هزار دلار تعمیر شدند.
متأسفانه در حال حاضر، عبور از روی آن برای عموم آزاد نیست.
۱۲- پلکان- پلی در سوئیس
وقتی که یک دره عمیق دو محل را که از نظر ارتفاع با هم تفاوت زیادی دارند، جدا کرده باشد باید به مهندسان پناه برد تا راه چارهای بیایند. دو مهندس به نامهای Jürg Conzett و Rolf Bachofner چاره کار را یافتند: یک پل- پلکان!
یک روز پاییزی سال ۱۳۸۶ نجف شکری در مسیر کار خود بود که در سطل زباله نزدیک خانه اش در جنوب شهر تهران چیز جالبی پیدا می کند. در سطل زباله سازمان ثبت احوال، شناسنامه هایی از مردان و زنان را پیدا می کند که مدت ها بود از رده خارج شده بودند. اینگونه بود که تصمیم می گیرد به آفرینش پروژه ای هنری دست بزند، با مجموعه ای از عکس های شناسنامه های یک نسل. نام پروژه را ایراندخت می گذارد. ایراندخت، نامی رایج در ایران است که می تواند نام هر دختر ایرانی باشد. …
پروژه عکاسی ایراندخت - عکس نجف شکری
پروژه شکری بر روی عکس ها تمرکز می کند، و از ذکر نام ها و اطلاعات شخصی چشم می پوشد چرا که این عکس ها دیگر معرف افراد مشخصی نیستند، بلکه بیانگر دوره ای خاص است، با ژست های مد آن روز، مدل موها، لباس ها، آرایش ها و تمام سبک هایی که گویی به گذشته های دور تعلق دارد. برای دیدن عکسهای مردان و زنان به سایت ایشان سر بزنید.
به مدت چند دهه، رقابت بین ابرقدرت شرق و غرب، منجر به حوادث عجیبی میشد، یکی از آنها جاسوسی صنعتی و نظامی و مهندسی معکوس و به صورت صریحتر کپیبرداری و دزدی بود.
در این مورد حتی برنامههای جاسوسی نظاممند و برنامهریزیشدهای وجود داشت، شوروی به خصوص در دهه اول بعد از انقلاب اکتبر، فاصله زیادی از نظر فناوری با غرب داشت و چارهای جز وارد کردن این فناوری نداشت. این شیوه تقریبا تا زمان فروپاشی شوروی ادامه داشت.
در این پست موارد جالبی را با هم مرور میکنیم که در آنها، شوروی سابق آشکارا از فناوریهای غربی تقلید کرده بود.
البته همه اینها به معنی عقبمانده بودن شوروی در عرصه علوم پایه و نظری و فناوری نسبت به غرب نبود، آنها هم در این مدت ابداعات بسیار قابل توجهی داشتند، دانشمندان شوروی بارها برنده جایزه نوبل شدند و ابزارهای خارخالعاده علمی و نظامی هم ساختند.
این پست البته بخش دومی هم دارد که در فرصتی مناسب منتشر خواهد شد.
۱- توپولف Tu-4، این هواپیما بین سالهای ۱۹۴۹ تا ۱۹۵۲ ساخته میشد و با مهندسی معکوس از روی بویینگ B-29 ساخته شده بود.
بویینگ B-29
توپولف Tu-4
در سال ۱۹۴۴، بویینگ B-29 یکی از سه بمبافکنی بود که وادار به فرود در بندری در شرق شوروی به نام ولادیوستوک شد، هواپیما سپس به ۱۰۵ هزار قطعه سازندهاش تقسیم شد و تحت نظارت آندری توپولف کپیبرداری شد!
۲- تلاش شوروی برای ساختن یک دوربین عکسبرداری خوب، منجر به کپیبرداری از دوربین Hasselblad و تولید دوربینی به نام Salyut شد. (به ترتیب عکس اول و دوم) نسخه پیشرفته این دوربین روسی زنیت ۸۰ نام داشت.
۳- خودروی Packard Super Eight آمریکایی تبدیلی به خودروی ZIS-110 شد. خودروی اصلی بین سالهای ۱۹۳۹ تا ۱۹۵۱ تولید میشد و نسخه کپی آن بین سالهای ۱۹۴۶ تا ۱۹۵۸٫ (به ترتیب عکس اول و دوم)
۴-کپیبرداری از پیسیZX Spectrum
… و تولید Dubna 48K.
5- کپیبرداری از وسیله بازی پرتابل نینتندو
… و تولید سری Electronika IM
6- کپیبرداری از دوربین Zeiss Contax II که نخستین دوربینی بود که منظرهیاب و فاصلهیاب را در یکجا داشت
… و تولید دوربین Kiev II
7- کپیبرداری از خودروی فورد پرفکت که در شعبه انگلیس فورد تولید میشد
… و تولید KIM 10-50
8- کپیبرداری حتی از شاتل فضایی و تولید شاتل بوران Buran
شاتل بوران فقط یک مأموریت فضایی بدون سرنشین انجام داد و تنها سه ساعت در فضا باقی ماند. برنامه بوران در سال ۱۹۹۳ متوقف شد. ۴ شاتل فضایی دیگر هم به صورت ناقص توسط شوروی تولید شده بودند که هر یک سرنوشتی پیدا کردند، یکی تقریبا کامل شده بود، دیگری ۳۰ تا ۵۰ درصد تکمیل شد و سالها در فضای باز قرار گرفت، دو تای دیگر اوراق شدند و حتی قطعات یکی از طریق اینترنت به فروش رسید!
۹- کپیبرداری از موشک V-2 آلمانها
… و تولید موشک R-1
10- کپیبرداری از جنگندههای هریر Hawker Siddeley Harrier
… و تولید Yakovlev Yak-38
مزیت هریرها صعود و فرود عمودی بود، جنگنده روسها هم می توانست همین کار را بکند، اما به خاطر طراحی بد، نمیتوانست موشکهای زیادی با خود حمل کند، موتورش اشکال داشت و کنترل آن میتوانست به آسانی از دست خلبان خارج شود!
۱۱- و این یکی البته کپی فناوری نیست و کپی فرهنگی است: مصادره کردن وینی خرسه توسط فئودور خیتروک. هر سه قسمت وینی خرسه روسی را میتوانید در یوتیوب ببینید!
دهکدهی هالشتات در اتریش، که در فهرست میراث جهانی یونسکو قرار دارد، به طور کامل و عینا در چین کپی شده. عکسهای موجود در وبسایت میراث جهانی را اینجا ببینید. فیلم موجود در آرشیو یونسکو دربارهی این دهکده را اینجا ببینید.
حالا به این وبسایت بروید تا عکسهای همتای چینی را ببینید. ویدئوی اول و دوم را هم دربارهی کپی چینی ببینید.
حیرت آور است. نه؟ حتی لباسهای محلی را کپی کردهاند. نگهبانهایی با ظاهر اتریشی، دخترانی با لباس محلی... به عدهای پول میدهند که با این لباسهای کپی شده در شهر بچرخند و جلب رضایت توریست کنند.
اگر فکر میکنیم که کسی به این نمونهی کپی شده سر نمیزند در اشتباهیم. جمعیت چین بیش از یک میلیارد است، و قسمت بزرگی از این جمعیت وسعش به سفر اروپایی نمیرسد. پس به همان چیزی که دم دستش هست بسنده میکند و با عکسهای یادگاریاش دلخوش میشود. دنیای عجیبی شده!
تعجب نکنیم اگر یکروز کپی اصفهان و شیراز خودمان را در چین پیدا کردیم!

پمپ بنزین دورازه دولت - عکس حامد میرزا خلیل
پمپ بنزین دروازه دولت که در اختیار شرکت بهروزان قرار گرفته در حال ویرانی است ، پمپ بنزین دورازه دولت باقی مانده آخرین نسل معماری ایرانی و اسلامی است که با کاشی کاری های هفت رنگ مزین شده و به علت عدم رسیدگی در حال تخریب است.
تخریب کاشی های هفت رنگ پمپ بنزین دروزاه دولت
کاشی کاری های اشاره شده در برخی قسمتها ویران و در پنجره ها دچار ریزش شده است.
از بین رفتن کاشی های پمپ بنزین دروازه دولت به علت سهل انگاری
متاسفانه در سالهای اخیر پمپ بنزین دروازه دولت توسط شرکت مذکور به محل دپوی سطل زباله و ادوات نگهداری شهر و …. تبدیل شده و قسمتهای از دیوار آجری آن به علت عدم اطلاع رنگ آمیزی شده است.
رنگ آمیزی غیر اصولی پمپ بنزین دروزاه دولت
درکتاب راهنمای تهران که در آذر ماه ۱۳۳۰ توسط دایره جغرافیایی ستاد ارتش منتشر شده آمده است؛ در تهران ۱۰ جایگاه پمپ بنزین قرار داشته که پمپ بنزین شماره ۶ در خیابان سعدی ، دروازه دولت بنا شده است و به احتمال فراوان این ششمین پمپ بنزین شهر تهران بوده که تاکنون معماری آن به همان صورت حفظ شده است.
نگهداری سطل زباله در قدیمی ترین پمپ بنزین
پمپ بنزین دورازه دولت تلفیقی است از معماری نوین و هنرهای معماری دوران پهلوی اول که در زمینی ۹۰۰ متری بنا شده .
پمپ بنزین دروزاه دولت محل نگهداری ادوات تنظیف شهری
در سال ۱۳۸۴ پمپ بنزین ری در سیاهه آثار ملی ایران به عنوان تنها پمپ بنزین ثبت شده در این فهرست ، ثبت ملی شد اما شبانه این اثر تخریب شد ، به احتمال فراوان اگر فکری برای بنای مذکور نشود پمپ بنزین دروازه دولت هم به عاقبت پمپ بنزین ری دچار خواهد شد.

یکی از لذت های زندگی من در بچگی وقتی بود که مادرم ما رو نمیدید و ما تا میتونستیم خاک بازی میکردیم یا میپریدم تو چاله های
بارون و بعد هم با هزار دردسر یه کم تمیزتر یا خشک بشیم جوری که کمترین برخورد باهامون بشه!
وقتی اومدیم سوئد با اتفاق بزرگی برخوردم که کودک درونم به همه ی بچه ها حسودیش میشد! یعنی اینا میتونن هر وقت هر جا دلشون
خواست ولو شن رو زمین؟! یعنی اینا لباسای خاص واسه گل بازی و آب بازی دارن؟!
خیلی گذشته… اما انگار هنوز هم حسودیم میشه!
اینجا جدیدا شده کافه ی محبوب من ! سه طبقه کافه تو قسمت مرکزی استکلهم که شبیه خونه های دهه ۷۰ میلادی
طراحی شده و خیلی از وسایل اجتمالا از اون موقع مونده ! اسمش هم هست Sturekatten
وجالب اینه که صاحبش ایرانیه !
میری میشینی پول یه قهوه میدی و بعد اجازه داری هر چی خواستی قهوه بخوری ! رکور من فعلا سه تاست :دی
راستش قصهی اینکه چی شد عکاس شدم خیلی طولانیه. قرار هم نیست که قصه تعریف کنم. به نظر خیلیها که خانواده من رو میشناسن شاید مسخره باشه، میگن پدرش عکاس بود و اینهم شد. اما به این سادگی نیست. خُب معلومه که خیلی چیزها از پدرم یاد گرفتم و یا دسترسی به ابزار و فن برام مقدور شد. اما اینها یک وَر داستان است، اونوَری که از من عکاسی ساخته است که ابزار، فن و تکنیک عکاسی رو میشناسد. میتونم عکس خوشگل بگیرم از خوراکیها و یا کارخونهها. همین. کاری که بسیاری از عکاسها میکنند و یا حتا کاری که بسیاری از عکاسان خبری انجام میدهند. عکس میگیرند. عکس خوب میگیرند.
اما برای من یه چیز دیگه وجود داره، یه چیزی مهمتر از خود عکاسی، یه حس و نیاز شخصی برای کشف جریان جاری در هر چیزی. تحولات اجتماعی باشد یا نزدیکی و شناخت یک نفر آدم، فرقی نمیکند. عکس و عکاسی اینجا بیشتر برایم یک وسیله است نه هدف. وسیلهای برای دریافت نمای نزدیک و نزدیکتر. خیلی اوقات لازم نیست زیاد گوش بدی، بخونی، کافیست درست ببینی. از نزدیک، نزدیکتر. دوربین عکاسی این امکان را برایم فراهم میکند.
