Nick and I collaborated on this on Sunday. The sun was setting so we climbed on top of a big wood chip pile and jumped around and danced and kicked wood chips everywhere.

No, that’s not some fancy CGI, it’s what happens to water in response to a special audio frequency. By allowing the water to pass through the sound wave, it forms shapes that seem completely unreal.

Each of these images are an entire roll of film diligently shot frame-by-frame!

You can see Thomas Keller’s sketches that he used to plan out just how he was going to shoot each roll.

Stephen Wilkes is a guy with some serious patience. He photographs the same spot for a minimum of ten hours! The goal is to capture the transformation of a selected area from day to night.

You’re probably looking at these photos and wondering how much time and expensive equipment it took to pull them off, but think again.

Eric Staller created these incredible light drawings back in the 1970’s with a 35mm film camera, 4th of July sparklers, and some Christmas lights. Not bad, huh?

Marketing Campaign of the Day: This brilliant promotion for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra by photographer Bjoern Ewers shines a perspective-reexamining light on the interiors of musical instruments, which, incidentally, look like they would make rather amazing concert halls.

For a second year, the German street art collective Mentalgassi has made photo lenticulars for Amnesty International.

They’re a little like visual illusions — when you walk by the photo comes into view.

In a long-exposure photo, the interior of Salisbury Cathedral is illuminated by trails of candles carried by choristers during the annual “darkness to light” advent procession in Salisbury, England, on November 25, 2011. The service - which begins with the medieval cathedral in total darkness and silence before the Advent Candle is lit at the West End -is one of the most popular services of the liturgical year. The annual advent service, which takes place over three nights, is a mix of music and readings during which two great candlelit processions move around the different spaces in the 750-year-old building which, by the end, is illuminated by almost 1,300 candles and is a spectacular start to the Christmas season.
