Alps Photo Shoot is Epic
Robert Bösch is a Swiss photographer who achieved something most of us will only talk about. The Matterhorn ridge was first ascended by Edward Whymper and his team in 1865. To mark the 150th anniversary of the ascent, Mammut sponsored a photo shoot in the Alps for their next year’s ad campaign. These are just some of the pics from the shoot: This is one of the most amazing polar panoramas (or panorama globes) that I have seen. Looks simple, but requires a lot of creative effort to do this nicely. The photo shoot involved hundreds of climbers who wore identical red uniforms. Here they are in the shape of a world map. For the main photo, the participants lit red torches to mark the path that Edward Whymper and his team took to reach the summit one and a half century ago. Must be some experience hanging off a ledge like this. Even their sleeping bags were the same type and color, allowing this epic photo. A little crowded at the top, don’t you think? Besides requiring a creative eye and excellent photographic skills, the real challenge for such a shot is directing so many participants That is...
About Phographer
Hello everyone and welcome to Phographer.com. I would like to start off with an introduction to myself and my motivation for starting Phographer, as well as what you can expect here. My name is Ahmed and I’m a systems engineer. From an early age, I liked to create things. My favorite hobby was pencil drawing people and comic characters. I have been building and managing servers for well over a decade, but I recently realized that my true calling was elsewhere. A few years ago, I got my first DSLR. After the customary beginner shots, I started to focus on mountains, landscapes and architecture. What started off as a hobby had soon turned into a real passion that perfectly complimented my love for travel and the great outdoors. I have also been writing and blogging for a while now and what better topic to write about than my greatest passion? This is the start of Phographer. On this site, I will write about different techniques for taking photos, photography projects and reviews of products related to photography. I’m also on the lookout for other photographers who can share their own knowledge and who I can help promote. Hope you...
10 Mysterious Photos Yet To Be Explained
Long before Photoshop, photographers found ways of manipulating images through various lighting, film and darkroom techniques. There are countless mysterious photos circulating on the internet that claim to be authentic, but are easily confirmed to be fake. Some however, are decades old and after years of scrutiny by experts, remain unsolved and unexplained. Here are ten of these: 1. Time Traveler in 1940 This photo circulated on the Internet a few years back. It is a black and white photo from 1940 that shows a man wearing what appear to be modern sunglasses and attire. The most plausible explanation is that this type of clothes and sunglasses already existed when the photo was taken. However, they really do seem out of place. 2. The Black Knight Satellite The Black Knight satellite refers to a mysterious object that is said to orbit the earth. There have been numerous sightings, though it is possible they were all of different objects. There are numerous stories associated with it and theories range from it being a lost thermal blanket to an alien spaceship from thousands of years ago. 3. The Solway Firth Spaceman The Solway Firth Spaceman was discovered in a photo of...
