Haunted Photographs

Spanish Photographer Andres Medina has a knack for creating beauty with very little. There’s really not too much action in a lot of his photographs. Somehow, though, he frames such emptiness with beautiful lighting and technique in a way that amplifies the emptiness of the world in a really appealing way. Some of Medina’s best stuff is taken at night. You can almost feel the moist, cold air in his night photos, and your ears prick up as you are drawn into their silent world.

Jaw Dropping Long Exposure Photos from Space

These amazing long exposure photographs were taken by astronaut Don Pettit from aboard the International Space Station during Expedition 31.

As the ISS circles Earth at roughly 17,000 miles per hour, Flight Engineer Don Pettit takes 30-second exposures with a stock digital camera, then stacks those exposures into single frames that produces 10-15 minutes of exposure. The rotation is fast enough for long exposures to blur the earth into bright strips of light, as well as capturing star trails, aurora, and flashes of lightning splattered all across the surface of the Earth.
