split-1

A composite image taken last October by Johannes Holzer at the Isar river in southern Germany. The image was achieved using two cameras shooting three photos from roughly the same perspective, which were then stitched. To wit:

..[the] sky with a Sony A7r and Vixen Polarie Startracker, one additional shot for the landscape without [a] Startracker, [and] underwater was done with a Canon 5Dm2 with an EWA Underwater case.

Behold the Southern Cassowary (an image from photographer Robert Clark’s book Evolution: A Visual Record) a flightless bird whose appearance echoes the evolutionary link to dinosaurs. 

Handsome chap.

Muscular three-toed foot and long, dagger-like eviscerating claw out of shot.

Images of flowers taken by photographer Craig Burrows using a relatively unknown process known as UVIVF (ultra violet induced visible fluorescence).

Burrows illuminates the flowers with a high intensity LED filtered to transmit only UV and infrared which the plants absorb, releasing visible light in the form of vivid colours not perceptible under normal viewing conditions.
