The amazing and cool photo thread

[Rue]

He also has some great HDR pics of Urbex (urban exploration) in his Flickr gallery. I think HDR has been done to death recently, but this subject really seems to suit the technique. He's managed to make somewhat mundane objects very interesting.

On someones Flickr page:

From November to December it is the season of sunflower blooming. Not far from Bangkok, there is lots of sunflower fields blooming alomst the same time.
Driving and expecting so we found the first sunflower field was so beautiful and stunning with cheerful yellow field, mountain background and lively elephants and people.

My condescending nature of the comment was very intentional. After multiple explanations about the photos and why I don’t want them posted in this thread, I still got resistance.

Perhaps the thread title should be changed to 'Pictures you think Unomoto will find amazing and cool'. This way there can be no confusion.

 

[UnoMOTO]

Or how about "Photos that you will not find offensive and insensitive”

 

[Diego440]

or how about 'The Amazing and Cool Photo Thread'?

And leave semantics to the weary

Is that what it's called? It was deforestation that caused it so it seems an odd name for it.

Yep, seems to be the official name.

Volcano Tungurahua erupted spectacularly last year. Pictured above, molten rock so hot it glows visibly pours down the sides of the 5,000-meter high Tungurahua, while a cloud of dark ash is seen being ejected toward the left. Wispy white clouds flow around the lava-lit peak, while a star-lit sky shines in the distance. The above image was captured last year as ash fell around the adventurous photographer. Located in Ecuador, Tungurahua has become active roughly every 90 years since for the last 1,300 years. Volcano Tungurahua has started erupting again this year and continues erupting at a lower level even today.

^^^ Volcanos are also captivating to look at ... Usually produce some amazing images when they do erupt... Nice one! 👍

I get most of 'em, with the twirlies and such, but how do they get the ones that look like flames? Some sort of lightbar?

Third one almost looks photoshopped!

I can't tell if the last one is out of focus or the horrible Photomatix HDR is messing with my eyes.

Apparently it's animated and funny, too!

Staple Art

See - when I stuck staples into the desks during art in school, all I got was detention. This just proves the stupidity of art classes, as even the teachers don't know what good art is.

Standing on Mulholland Drive this was the best my camera could do. Watching so many people driving cars, walking, in planes coming in to LAX, living their lives beneath me, I was truly moved.

Today, a few months after this photo was taken, I came up with my caption for the photo.
"How many lightbulbs does it take to change a man?"

I just realized that today, sorry.

I like how she is making the "ok" sign with her right hand.

Amazing journey to begin.

Teachers never know what good art is. Art class is quite possibly the worst thing ever created. I had a teacher that failed me in art one year because I didn't do things right. Why should I draw trees? Thats not what I wanted to draw.

I didn't really know exactly where to post this.

Not so cool but kinda amazing + lucky. This was on a local forum, a truck leaf spring hitting a Opel Vectra on the open road (a closing speed of probably 180-200kph). Remember this car is RHD so this was about 15cm from gutting the driver.
