Check out this snap taken by the Mars Global Surveyor on May 22, 2003. Every so often the planets align so that both Jupiter, Earth and the moon can all be captured in one wide angle breathtaking shot. Hit the jump to see where the planets were located when this shot was taken.

We’ve already witnessed a few examples of ultra-realistic video game creations, but nothing that mixes the gaming aesthetic with reality quite as well as this Jump ‘n’ Run photography series by Patrick Runte. The series features classic gaming characters in real-life scenarios, illustrating what exactly the games would look like if they were live-action rather than bit-tastic. Check out a ...

Georbes Seurat’s famous pointillism painting, “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte,” recreated in modern times with modern photography. I always thought this painting was by Monet. Shows how cultured I am. Link

While amateur photographers have long enjoyed the luxury of the WiFi-enabled Eye-Fi SD card, pros will be happy to know that there’s finally a solution available for them. For $150, you’ll cop a 4GB SD card that supports WiFi uploading, the ability to choose which pictures go where and RAW imaging support. Gizmodo reviewed it and says it’s great, so ...

What could possibly be more tragic than a bunch of frowning, crying clowns mourning one of their own? How about a gaggle of pallbearers dressed in full clown regalia? Now would be a great time to take a listen to Smokey Robinson’s “Tears of a Clown.” Classic. Tons more after the jump. Poor Boppo. R.I.P. <3 <3 <3

These guys from Germany do time-lapse photography and use light sticks and such to create beautiful images. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen light art as good as LAPP’s. Sprint-Nextel’s commercials last summer were decent but I think the Germans have us Americans beat on the light art. If you want to try your own light art out, grab a ...

Either the Japanese government has something against tripod manufacturers or the photography industry has been pulling the wool over our eyes for a century.

A new tool that determines ...

You probably wouldn’t believe us if we didn’t have the photographic proof to back it up, but empty soda bottles actually make pretty effective tripods on-the-cheap. While there are gadgets actually made to turn soda bottles into functioning tripods, there is an even easier and cheaper way just to do it yourself, which is so much more fun anyway. You’ll ...
