Logan Hicks is a photographer and artist based in New York. His stunning designs also includes murals and artwork. The image above is one of my favourite pieces, as the HDR effect on the train has been produced with amazing effect.
Goodnight Hong Kong, London, New York and Sydney; these stunning birds-eye view photographs do these great cities justice (above shot is of Hong Kong). At night, the appearance of megacities really comes alive when lit-up by their fluorescent counterparts:
I love these images I just discovered over at PetaPixel.com of the first ever human to be photographed (in the images shown). Apparently, this photo taken in the Boulevard du Temple in Paris was captured in 1838 by a man named Louis Daguerre. Read more here.

This image is of an enchanting Hidden Forest Doorway. I wonder what it was used for? Maybe a war bunker…
Joe Stevens is a photographer based in Portland OR, USA. He “lives through his lens” and has spent 10 years bringing images to life. What sets Joe apart is his ability to tell a story through his photographic work. In this case, he has done a fantastic job taking skateboard photos:
This amazing set of photos was taken as part of a series by photographer Maciek Jasik. Entitled ‘The Secret Lives of Fruits and Vegetables‘, many of these fruits and vegetables, including an eggplant, squash, cauliflower, a red pepper and various melons have holes in them, whereby colored smoke spills out. Fantastic…
I think these images of breaking waves are fantastic, to say the least. I can remember many times being stood on one of the northern beaches (here in Britain), staring into the captivating waves. What photographer Pierre Carreau has managed to do is expertly capture waves in motion by utilising slow-shutter speeds and other photographic methods to instantly freeze a micro-split second of time.
You wouldn’t be able to see waves as they appear in these photos without such photographic technology, but thanks to Carreau we can see them in their splendor. Here is a set of ten of these images for you to view, where you can see the sheer variety of what he has managed to capture. No doubt he spent many hours waiting for that perfect picture…

These alluring images were created by 26 year-old French-Canadian photographer, Benoit Paille. After becoming a professional, Paille has held exhibitions in Canada, Japan, L.A, Barcelona, Moscow, Ukraine and Paris:
Paille: I was interested in the introduction of a man-made object in an outdoor setting, a luminous square, a human element that forms a relationship with nature and helps it to be reborn. From this I feel a kind of poetry blossoms, linked to the presence of this regular shape, like a recurrent canvas that symbolically references creation, the blank page, the empty space that needs to be inhabited.
