| Interesting Photo of the Day: Earthrise Posted: 06 Feb 2014 12:37 PM PST Forty-five years ago, on December 24, 1968, the astronauts aboard Apollo 8 witnessed and photographed the Earthrise for the first time as they orbited the moon. The photo, taken by Bill Anders with a Hasselblad 500 EL and a Zeiss Sonnar 250mm f/5.6 telephoto lens, became a symbol of space exploration:  Earthrise, 1968 (Click for larger size.) Anders had a camera in his hand to document the mission from his view out of a side window, and another Hasselblad with an 80mm lens was mounted in the craft’s front facing window, set to take pictures automatically every 20 seconds. After three orbits around the moon, the crew was not expecting to see anything other than the moon’s surface, but as they came around for the fourth time, they witnessed what Command Module Pilot, Jim Lovell, described as “a grand oasis in the vastness of space.” While no one will ever get to experience seeing the Earthrise as Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders did in 1968, new data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), combined with the astronauts’ photographs and voice recordings, let us see the event as the astronauts saw it.

| Abstract Food Photography Setup (Video) Posted: 06 Feb 2014 12:20 PM PST Known for his innovative and sometimes risque cuisine, ‘Demon Chef’ Alvin Leung lets us go behind the scenes during the making of a creative food art book. Danish photographer René Riis simply, yet beautifully, captures the Demon Chef’s creations–dubbed X-Treme Chinese–which push the limits and leave our mouths watering: Riis worked directly with Leung to photograph the chef’s unique and improvised cuisine. His goal was to make the shots a little more abstract, since Leung doesn’t use a lot of ingredients. Riis keeps the shots simple, without props like forks or unnecessary dishes, to create truly stunning and crisp images.
Riis says he likes to use Hasselblad cameras because they give the shots better quality and sharpness. For this specific shoot, Riis used a Hasselblad H4D system and Broncolor IRX 2 studio lighting. Go to full article: Abstract Food Photography Setup (Video) |
