John Nack on Adobe : (rt) Photography: Space, power, and iPhone funkiness

September 20, 2010

Athleticism:
- The Big Picture rounds up some amazing diving photos. 8 & 16 are my faves. [Via]
- “The Beauty of the Power Game“: The NYT features slow-mo video of top female tennis players.
Space & science:
- NASA photos: Martian dunes plus a towering Shuttle launch trail.
- There are great NASA images on the Flickr Commons, including this Apollo 11 launch gem.
- The iPhone’s rolling shutter vs. a spinning propeller produces a cool effect. Here’s some background info on why this happens, plus more bizarre shots of propellers.

If there’s ONE thing the Americans can be proud of, it’s putting a man on the moon. So thankful it happened in my lifetime (stayed up all night to watch the landing)….Oh, and giving us Photoshop!

There’s a some video regarding the rolling shutter vs. props on Stu Maschwitz’ site (prolost.com) in one of the archive posts. As for the rest: Look mom, guys in Speedos! ;-)
