Check out this beautiful shot of a snow-covered autumn landscape near Fallon, Nevada. This area is a small part of the Newlands Irrigation Project that brought water to the desert. Photographer Dennis Doyle captured this image a few years ago, and of the experience, he says, “I am a native of Nevada. I have lived 60 years in this little piece of heaven we call the Great Basin. I have always loved the beauty of the wide open spaces and our version of ‘Big Sky’ country, but what really fascinates me is the ‘little’ spaces; the small springs and oasis areas that define our nature. The areas that feed and water our wild animals and the areas that provide shade for a nap!” Photo by Dennis Doyle, Bureau of Land Management (@mypubliclands).
Quest/Commander Straker’s Car, 1980 (1969) from the 70s TV series UFO. Appearing initially in the Gerry and Sylvia Anderson produced 1969 Sci-Fi film Doppelgänger, it was then utilised in the UFO TV series which was set in 1980. The car was designed by Len Bailey and built by the Alan Mann Racing Company based on a Ford Zephyr Mk 4 chassis with a hand beaten aluminium body. There was a project by the Explorer Motor Company to produce the car, which was to be called the Quest, in limited numbers. However the venture never achieved the required orders and only one additional car was ever made (from fibreglass).
Photon-packing generalist photographer with a penchant for weird and surreal forms of light.
I’ve photographed hundreds of glowing
flowers since 2014 after seeing Oleksandr Holovachov’s work with
ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence (UVIVF) photography.
Each time I do a set of UVIVF photos, it
starts with going out under the cover of darkness to snatch
unsuspecting flowers growing around the neighborhood. I rarely know what
to expect from a flower before I get it back to shoot. Some I think
will dazzle end up flopping, and others I am surprised by their colors
or light. Every one is a surprise!
In the same way a tee-shirt blue glows
under a black light, most organic material glows at least a little with
UV stimulation and in all kinds of colors. To make the most of it, I
make sure I’m working in the darkest environment I can and use a 365nm
light so the camera can’t see the UV light.
Any time the flowers are hit by
sunlight, they’re letting off their own glow in response and it’s simply
overwhelmed by the sunlight we can see. These photos capture something
we always see, but never can observe. More info: cpburrows.com|| H/T Bored Panda
