27 Super Cool Pictures of Detroit

PauloGabriel — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 11:38:39 +0000

A nice thing about photogaphy is that if you take a walk though any city, you'll find some spots that usually no one would care, but once you take a picture of it, the captured image gets its own life, giving that particular spot a new mood.

In the blog called The Motor(less) City, the photographers portrait a post industrial Detroit... almost left empty, with at least 12,000 abandoned houses, ready to be torn down. This is the scenario of these pictures, and I bet you'll take a new a look at this city. Don't forget to make a visit to the blog! Those guy appreciate it! Cheers! ;)

10 Years of The Matrix

PauloGabriel — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 13:23:58 +0000

10 years ago a true revolution began. With the release of the first installment of The Matrix franchise, the movies industry was not the same anymore. To celebrate it, we've got some awesome pictures and clips to show you. Bring it on!

Bullet time and slow motion kung fu fight scenes drew a new line on how movies were made back then. I remember with awe how stunned I was the first time I watch The Matrix in a movie theater... and even after having watched it so many time, it still facinates me. The Wachowski brothers are THE MEN. I really hope there's a 10th Anniversary commemorative DVD on its way... anyways, here my selection of pictures, to celebrate the 10 Years of The Matrix.

And of course, here's some of the best scenes from the trilogy. Gotta love it! :)

Amazing Football Tackle Pictures

PauloGabriel — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 13:24:10 +0000

In Brazil, we usually go for the other kind of football, soccer. But we gotta recognized that the American one delivers us some amazing moments, such as the tackle. Seeing flying dudes is one hell of a ride.

Of course, this is a game for those who are big boned, while soccer is better played by slim guys. Anyways, here are some amazing pictures, taken at the right moment, showing us the train wreck collisions that often happen between football players. Totally bad ass. For more pictures, simply visit each author's photostream at Flickr... give 'em some love. Hope you like these! Cheers. ;)

20 Stunning Infrared Pictures

PauloGabriel — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 12:09:44 +0000

Everybody knows we're suckers for photography. From HDR to Polaroids, all these have been featured at some point, here at Abduzeedo. Recently, I've came across a technique that even though not being new, has become popular with digital photography. I'm talking about Infrared Photography.

During a little visit to DeviantArt, I found many great examples of this technique, and picked out 20 pics to show you guys.

Infrared photography has been around for a long time, but capturing these stunning pictures on film required true perseverance. Digital imaging has changed all of that. Shooting infrared photos has never been easier or more fun. When you shoot infrared, you're actually dealing with a spectrum of light that's outside our normal range of perception. - Andrew Logan

So, here are these stunning pictures, which I know you all will like. And please, visit each author's page!! Enjoy! Cheers. ;)

20 Beautiful Fireworks Pictures

PauloGabriel — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:58:07 +0000

The best thing about festivals, new year celebrations or most of big festivals, are the fireworks!! I've never met a person that didn't like it, or that wouldn't get touched by its magic. Truly, it's magic... thank God for the Chinese.

And capturing these are another great thing. Thanks to photography, we get to capture these fantastic multi-colored explosions. Thanks to that, we also get to take a closer look at the details, which are beautiful. Anyways, here's a little selection of 20 beautiful shots I've found on Flickr. Does anyone got any fireworks pictures? If you do, post it here for us!! Enjoy these! Cheers! ;)

Beautiful Photography by Joey Lawrence

PauloGabriel — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 15:02:46 +0000

I'm couting the days to put my hands on the camera I've bought a few days ago. I've always wondered what kinds of pictures I would take, what kinds of effects I would produce, if I would photoshop it or not. One thing I know for sure: portraits are an awesome way to start.

Joey Lawrence is a Canadian photographer, who's got big clients such as Warner Brothers Records and NBC, among others, and spends some time traveling around the world taking superb pictures. I mean... that's probably one of my biggest dreams, to photograph the world! And I was really surprised when I saw his picture in his 'about me', 'cause he looks really young! Makes me think that any of us, armed with a strong willing power, could fit his shoes. Way to go, Joey! You may visit his portfolio here. Cheers!

Update: I totally forgot to mention it, but Joey's is selling in his site an awesome tutorial DVD, full of tips and tricks! Really worth checking it out. ;)

Great Beach HDR Pictures

PauloGabriel — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 14:35:42 +0000

Summertime is long gone here in Brazil, and most of us are sick by this time of the year. It's a hard life living in south Brazil, where beaches are terrible. So I was just taking a look at some beach pictures, to remind me that in about 5 months it will be summer once more. :)

So I ran into these cool HDR pictures... they remind a lot of how good summer is. Oh boy. I'm feeling sad right now. =p

Superb HDR Pics of Graffiti

PauloGabriel — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 14:19:52 +0000

Fact: HDR pictures are totally cool. HDR makes colors pop-out, they appear really vivid and shiny. And what kinda art uses lots of vivid and shiny colors? That's right, grafitti! And the combination of these two will blow your mind!

20 Beautiful HDR Pictures

PauloGabriel — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 17:46:55 +0000

There are some photography techniques that really give me the goose bumps, but the good ones. HDR is one of those techniques... and you'll probably love these as much as I do.

"In computer graphics and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of exposures (the range of values between light and dark areas) than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows." - From Wikipedia.

What I've read on some foruns is that a program called Photomatix does the job... Does anybody have already used it? I'm looking forward to it. Well... either way, if I don't get to use it, I'll probably find out how to simulate that effect on Photoshop. All this pictures are from a Flickr HDR Group.

Don't forget the visit 20 Beautiful HDR Pcitures - Part 2 and the new Outstanding HDR Night Pictures!! ;)
