This is an incredible work! Almost pictures look like blown glass. These are so beautiful, amazing, and very complicated-looking. The timing must have been hard to get right, looking at the multiple ripples of liquid in some of these pieces. Pictures by fotoopa @ pbase, click to enjoy. -LMS-

Cheese Rolling 2007

Bookmark and Share
Sunday, July 1st, 2007.

Crazy.

A collection of head-over-heels video clips from the 2007 Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake from www.SoGlos.com. Every year daring competitors throw themselves down an almost vertical hill in Gloucester, UK, chasing an 8lb Double Gloucester Cheese. It can never really be caught as it reaches breakneck speeds but the first person to cross the line at the bottom of the hill wins the cheese. Thousands of spectators turn out for the event each year and, unsurprisingly, there are usually a good few injuries. Thankfully St John’s Ambulances are on hand to whisk the casualties away to the local hospital.

Fotofrog’s high speed photography

Bookmark and Share
Sunday, July 1st, 2007.

Tired of the same old objects around you? Shoot them to pieces for the sake of art!

High speed, or “flash” photography is an art, widely used in scientific research, which also has a dedicated following among those wanting to “blow things apart” in the most elegant way possible. -LMS-

It’s not easy to come up with a perfect shot… consider 1200ft/sec average speed of a bullet, plus a synchronizing laser, hi-tech flash setup and a fancy camera-work. Stefan, a.k.a. Fotofrog has a gorgeous set, where fruits and some vegetables get blown to smithereens, together with some tableware:
