Eye Opening Photography #2

This is my second collection of great photography taken of eyes, either in the category of macro photography or otherwise these photographs so such great precision and subtle detail I have found to be truly inspiring.

These photos show precise quality and give us a different perspective on what quality we can create with a photo when you take time to setup a shot and know what you are doing with some of the high specification digital cameras.

Lip Sync: Great Photographed Lips

For me photography is a growing love, I am taking more time out to sample great photographers through sites such as Flickr and DeviantART. If you can recommend any other please pass them on.

I am finding new styles and categories of quality in photography each time I take a moment out to explore different photography collections. This collection of photographs is specifically of lips, I wanted to concentrate on another part of the human anatomy in much the same way that I had done previously with my post on Eye Opening Photography.

These photos show precise quality and give us a different perspective on what quality we can create with a photo when you take time to setup a shot and know what you are doing with some of the high specification digital cameras. Here in this showcase of photographs all the pictures are of lips and have been taken by many different photographers. (Each picture links to its original location found online.)

Portrait Photography That Takes Your Breath Away

There is no limitation in what can inspire you. Photography is something which can offer great sources of inspiration on many different levels and in many ways and formats, here I am taking portrait and personal photography as my inspiration.

Photography can be approached in various ways and means and some can require expensive equipment, time to setup each shot and others are more low budget and can still offer up great results. Here in this showcase of photographs all the pictures are that of a portrait style taken from many different photographers. (Each picture links to its original location found online.)

Eye Opening Photography

Photography can be something you can do as a hobby, for leisure or just when away on holidays. Most of us simply just point and shoot photos when we see something we love, or which inspires us, or maybe even to capture a moment in time. These photos show precise quality and give us a different perspective on what quality we can create with a photo when you take time to setup a shot and know what you are doing with some of the high specification digital cameras.

My Photography Favourites: Ric Coles

Richard Coles in a Multi-disciplined photographer, programmer and guitarist. Here I am going to look at a few of his great photography skills which are showcased on his Flickr profile. He won’t admit by any means that his work is going to be up in the Tate or M.o.m.a anytime soon. But he has a raw feel to his photos and opens up to show vulnerabilities of his character, with personal photos.

Find Richard on Flickr here

Find Richard on Twitter here

‘Black and White Creep’: Taken on a foggy winter’s evening in October, this photo is the result of a night just going out an exploring the environment around you. Seeing a different side to environments you inhabit everyday but produce a new side of life in the darkness of night.


‘Fog’: Again taken on the same night as the previous photo this was taken in Leverhulme park in Breightmet (Bolton.) The photo’s depiction of the lonely man (Richard himself) shows a vulnerability. The lights above and around him really shine through well around the dark silhouetted figure.


‘Ranch’: The photo itself was taken on a late summer holiday trip away in Tenby Wales, in a small camping site. The photo was then processed in Photoshop and is credited to have used textures by Pink Sherbert photography. The textures used overlaid on top of this original photograph really give it a real old school edge and grain to a great scene out in the dales of Tenby, Wales.

‘Motorway’: Taken with a Nikon D50, this photo was created with an 8 second exposure (with tripod) on a motorway bridge. I love long exposure shots and especially with heavy volumes of traffic, you really get a sense of the hectic rush and speed in all our lives.

‘My Broken Heart’:Originally envisenged as more of a conceptual photography idea, this photo really shows you richards feelings at this time in his life as he got over a difficult time. Bringing out true emotions in this picture really brings you closer to his character.

‘Dawn’ : Taken in the early morning when the birds are singing and the sun is about to rise, the photo captivates the dead of the early morning  just before the morning rush of the next day.

The Sexiest Twitter Background Designs

Twitter has spawned up as an amazing tool in promotion of articles, social lives, news and many other things. But from looking at people’s profiles especially designers and large brands we can see some amazing twitter background designs also. Here are just a few of the best that I have seen in recent weeks and months.

Brilliant colour scheme all works so well together.

Fred L (FredzGraphiks) on Twitter_1253198646500

Simple yet so effective, the colors of the background and text in the main page intertwine into one great page.

Jeff Finley (jeff_finley) on Twitter_1253198627112

Good use of darkness in this background and allows the picture and text to stand out more.

This maybe my favorite design of the lot with just everything positive and bright. Really appeals to my abstract design which is seen a lot now a days with hardcore/emo/alternative bands across the board.

A different approach to twitter background design, who wouldn’t love the bird icon.
