Photo Challenge: Favorite Photos

Everyone has favorites, but sometimes limiting it down to just one can be hard. This week we asked the Snapsort community to send in their favorite photos. Some people sent in a photo that has a special memory attached, some sent in the best photo they have ever taken and others sent in photos that make them smile. Which one is your favorite, tell us in the comments.

This photo, which I took this past Sunday, instantly became one of my favorites. The artsiness of the clean lines of leaves and flowers against the semitranslucent water looks ephemeral. And the way the ambient light reflects off the stems and leaves, it all looks more like an illustration than a painting. Photo by Emily Bristor

TimeScapes: a visually stunning movie, featuring slow-motion and timelapse photography


TimeScapes is the worlds first movie to be sold to the public in 4K. 4K is an amazing 4096 x 2304 pixels, although most modern TV’s only go up to 1920 x 1080 pixels. If you decide to download TimeScapes you are going to need to clear out some hard drive space, because the movie  is 160GB in 4K

TimeScapes was created by Tom Lowe, who spent 250 nights outdoors under the stars, while his Canon 5D Mark II and a 4K Red MX camera was capturing the amazing timelapes.  Last year Tom won the Astronomy Photographer of the year award, for his photo “Blazing Bristlecone” (below), which was just one frame from his film. You can buy a copy of Timescapes here, or on iTunes.
