Nina Simone is a legend and her gorgeous poetic lyrics come to mind when I see this pic...

Crop Art

These very crafty buggers have turned agriculture into art! yay for them!
Using different colours of rice plants these rice paddy's grow into amazing and intricate works of art! Crop Art is taking off in Japan and I love how the image slowly forms as the rice grows under the surface of the water, then busts out and solidifies into a really cool piece of art!!!
very cool....

Underwater love

Trent Mitchell is a local GC boy who is blessed with an amazing ability to capture moments from a perspective that thrills the heck out of my retina's!
His love is waves, clearly a surfer who digs the shit outta mother natures wonderous and gigantic bath!
The colour and saturation of his images are soooo incredible! I love the work he does with film, the digi shots are awesome as well but I would seriously give my left tit for his talents with film!
Plus not to mention he has some great taste, one of the quotes on his website is from one of my fav books, Johnathon Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach... "perfect speed....is being there!"
His gift with a camera, film or digi, is not to be missed check it out kids...

HDR Bliss

Fergus Preston has an awesome Flikr photostream... the HDR imaging he produces are stunning, and last night, I was led down a rabbit hole of dreamy, tonal enchantment. Hours later I was looking up photoshop tutorial's and discovering how to use the HDR merge function... now I am really inspired to take the digi camera and tottle off to find some sick landscapes to gather some shots and try out this technique! It also gives me a new technique to smash images together with this technique for my art! oh the hours I know I'm going to spend playing with this yay!!!
I love the colours this guy creates, so technicolour-dreamish yet so real! ahhhh I love being inspired to try new things and learning techniques I never knew existed!!! Now I just need to get me a tripod and go play!!!!
Below are a couple of Fergus' other photographic adventures not necessarily using HDR but still sick! the one on the swing is interesting how he uses remote timed flashes to create different light sources for the image... he's very talented !!!!
