Behold: the next evolutionary spasm of the selfie – Nixie, an autonomous drone that can be worn as a bracelet until you deploy it to fly off, take a snap of you then return.
Showcased back in December at Intel’s CES keynote conference, the vanity quadcopter is still in development.

The perennial bugbears of professional snappers by Italian graphic designer Luca Masini, in collaboration with Picame Magazine.
A new, even higher definition composite photo of the (7000 light years distant) Eagle Nebula’s ‘Pillars of Creation’ taken by the (since massively upgraded) Hubble telescope, contrasted with a similar image taken by the array back in 1995.
Hubblesite sez of it:
The pillars are bathed in the blistering ultraviolet light from a grouping of young, massive stars located off the top of the image. Streamers of gas can be seen bleeding off pillars as the intense radiation heats and evaporates it into space. Denser regions of the pillars are shadowing material beneath them from the powerful radiation. Stars are being born deep inside the pillars, which are made of cold hydrogen gas laced with dust. The pillars are part of a small region of the Eagle Nebula, a vast star-forming region 6,500 light-years from Earth.
Surprise!

… the moment the beautiful bride Avril copped her brother had surprised her from Australia, captured by wedding photographer Elaine Lally. Magic.
American photographer Beth Moon has spent the last 14 years travelling the world in search of the oldest, rarest and biggest trees.
Her duotone prints are specially developed for exhibition using a platinum/palladium process that ensures a deep tonal range and a durability to match the often millennium-old subject matter.
60 of her majestic tree images were recently published in a book called Ancient Trees; Portaits Of Time.
