Scientists unveiled today an unprecedented new look at our planet at night. A global composite image, constructed using cloud-free night images from a new NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite, shows the glow of natural and human-built phenomena across the planet in greater detail than ever before.
In other words, NASA putting out fantastic and amazing imagery of our planet. More info and photos over at NASA's website.
Time-lapse covering rush hour traffic at Auckland's Ferry Terminal.
A quick timelapse shot from my apartment in Auckland with my Canon 7D and 10-22mm. Starting shooting around 11:45pm until about 1:15am or so.
I came across an interesting post on Reddit regarding the film Drive's colour palette. I can't find the Reddit post but I did save the link to the Imgur gallery created by user caulkmeat. Check out the gallery he setup with a keen observation of the orange and blue colour palette used throughout the film. This goes beyond colour grading but shows the effort made to weave a visual theme throughout the film. My best guess is that this is all based on the look of traffic at night. It's pretty interesting an makes a great film even better.
Exploring past Auckland's city limits, an hour or so west of the CBD and I came across an abandoned church in Awhitu. The day started off with clear skies but as I am quickly learning, winter weather here in Auckland is anything but consistent but I'll take some less than ideal weather if it will help add mood and atmosphere to a photo.
Welcome to my shiny new, photography focused site. Taking advantage of Squarespace 6's fancy new abilities I hope to shape this site into what I've always wanted but lack the CSS skills to achieve.
I will keep my other site - robertbrienza.squarespace.com - up and running but it will serve the specific purpose of showcasing my motion graphics demo reel and the blog on that site will focus on animation/motion graphics posts, maybe geeky stuff as well. I'm still figuring things out on that end.
I do hope to post more of my original photography into this blog, I want to see how well the Flickr integration works with Squarespace 6. For now, the site is a bit lacking as I play with the new tools available to me, but I hope to start adding content soon.
Cheers.
