i know these are barely visible, but i fell in love with them at the first sight! when they are put together, it's like ice bubbles, like something weightless and fragile! totally love it!
A friend of mine cos-playing Lily Evans from Harry Potter. I liked this shot cause it looks like she's floating :) we went to this really great wooden playground I remembered from my childhood, I remembered it being built like a giant gothic castle, It couldn't have been a more perfect setting for Hogwarts ;)
This Ruby-throated Hummingbird hangs weightless in the air, its wings frozen mid-beat. The soft green background sets off its delicate shape and shimmering tones.
I captured this in my yard in Arkansas, where these quick-moving birds often visit feeders and flowers. Their flight patterns are fascinating to watch and challenging to photograph.
Like the previous image, this one is also a female. She lacks the red throat but shows the same iridescent green on her back and a crisp white underside.

The exhibition 'Weightlessness' gathers a series of experimental, photographic and cinematographic works by Luce Moreau, realized with the help of an astronomical tripod, whose equatorial mount proposes a weightless point of view on the terrestrial landscapes, day and night. Relationships are created between the spectator, the technological tools, and the celestial objects filmed, whether they are the stars, the Sun or our own planet, dragging us along in its movement.
The eye of the camera protects itself from the overflow of sunlight in 'Pulsar', provoking the analogical retinal persistence of the 'Holes' landscapes; 'Volta' takes us on a nocturnal journey in weightlessness and we understand, through the jerks of the mechanical painting 'Paysage Provençal', that we sometimes have to invert the points of view in order to feel the cosmic and technological forces at work in our daily life.
Born in 1982 in Paris, France, LUCE MOREAU is a photographer and artist based in Marseille. She is the co-founder of OTTO-Prod, a structure dedicated to art production, artist-in-residence and exhibition programme between France and Slovenia, since 2006.

Pretty much idential setup to the other photo in my stream, but this time with water rather than milk.
I think I prefer the highlights on this one.
Flashes:
YN 580 back left of tray (in front, to the left of the camera) 1/4 power, diffused, with a few layers of blue plastic bag.
YN468 right of droplet 1/128 - pointing directly at the drop spot.
Triggered by YN 602 triggers.

When I was pointed to the sky, I had an overwhelming urge to be a balloon and just float above and observe the festive activities from a weightless perspective. Caught in the wind, blow to where ever I go.
Adults and children experienced amazing views of the new gallery from a Human Gyroscope. Artists Sarah Spencer and Tracey Falcon helped visitors look at the landscape in an unusual way and to produce a collaborative artwork which grew during the day.

I had no idea of how much the beam weighed - so I over-engineered the solution by a lot. It was very heavy mind you, but this was me at my most over-cautious. i probably spent a week figuring out what setup would prevent the building from exploding or collapsing, or some such calamity. I worry way too much.
In the bascule chamber; this is the space that the counterweights swing into when the bridge is raised.
From the Behind-the-Scenes Tour around Tower Bridge: Towers, high-level Walkways and Victorian Engine Rooms down to its hidden depths, normally out of bounds to the public...views from the Glass Floor and high-level Walkway, then the original steam engines, accumulators and boilers in the Victorian Engine Rooms...the Bridge’s operational areas including the Control Cabin, Machinery Room and the immense Bascule Chambers, which house the 422-ton counterweights.
Built between 1886 and 1894, the Bridge has spent more than a century as London's defining landmark, an icon of London and the United Kingdom.
A huge challenge faced the City of London Corporation - how to build a bridge downstream from London Bridge without disrupting river traffic activities. To generate ideas, the Special Bridge or Subway Committee was formed in 1876, and a public competition was launched to find a design for the new crossing.
Over 50 designs were submitted to the Committee for consideration, some of which are on display at Tower Bridge. It wasn't until October 1884 however, that Sir Horace Jones, the City Architect, in collaboration with John Wolfe Barry, offered the chosen design for Tower Bridge as a solution.
It took eight years, five major contractors and the relentless labour of 432 construction workers each day to build Tower Bridge under the watchful eye of Sir John Wolfe Barry.
Two massive piers were built on foundations sunk into the riverbed to support the construction, and over 11,000 tons of steel provided the framework for the Towers and Walkways. This framework was clad in Cornish Granite and Portland Stone to protect the underlying steelwork and to give the Bridge a more pleasing appearance.
When it was built, Tower Bridge was the largest and most sophisticated bascule bridge ever completed ('bascule' comes from the French word for 'seesaw'). These bascules were operated by hydraulics, using steam to power the enormous pumping engines. The energy created was stored in six massive accumulators, meaning that as soon as power was required to lift the Bridge, it was always readily available. The accumulators fed the driving engines, which drove the bascules up and down. Despite the complexity of the system, the bascules only took about a minute to raise to their maximum angle of 86 degrees. Find out more about this process.
Today, the bascules are still operated by hydraulic power, but since 1976 they have been driven by oil and electricity rather than steam. The original pumping engines, accumulators and boilers are now on display within Tower Bridge’s Engine Rooms.
