A team of engineers froze a camera underneath the ice in an ice hockey rink to film the sport from a once-impossible angle.

Following numerous travel restrictions and flight cancellations, Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove finally made his dream come true and landed in Greenland to photograph its majestic floating icebergs in sub-zero temperatures.

Photographer Joshua Nowicki encountered a unique natural phenomenon that had formed along the coastline of Lake Michigan -- temporary sand formations that resemble rocky structures also known as hoodoos.

Christian Vieler is a German photographer who has built his career on shooting humorous photos of dogs catching treats.

While locked down in Sydney during the COVID-19 pandemic, I am keeping safe and sane. Try this "Ice Flowers" project at home -- it's fun and easy.

After a series of experiments, an art director has created a macro photo series of ice crystals after he happened to notice the interesting way they formed on the inside of his freezer.

The Russian town of Vorkuta is the coldest city in all of Europe, with record cold temperatures of -61° F (-52° C). Photographer Arseniy Kotov was exploring the small mining town when he came across an abandoned apartment building that had frozen over, both inside and out.

Photographer Jens Heidler, who was recently featured for his macro video of snowflakes melting in reverse, has published a 5-minute instructional video on how to create frozen soap bubbles for dazzling macro photos.

Montreal-based art director Christopher Dormoy has created one of the most hypnotic timelapses we've ever seen. It's called "Black Ice," and it combines ink, ice, flowers, and creative macro photography filming techniques to produce something truly stunning.

This short film, titled "Winter's Magic" and shot by photographer Don Komarechka, is a mesmerizing 2.5-minute look at the beauty of how bubbles freeze.

After earning over $1.2 billion around the world and becoming a cultural phenomenon, Disney's Frozen will soon be reborn as a Broadway musical. Photographer Andrew Eccles was tasked by Vanity Fair to capture portraits of the cast, and the 1-minute video above is a behind-the-scenes look at the photo shoot.

With the recent release of the Leica’s new M10, I noticed an interesting commonality amongst the reviews: almost all of them tested the camera in sunny, dry, or interior environments.

Photographer Jeffrey Vanhoutte of Brussels, Belgium was recently tasked with shooting a series of photos for a coffee creamer company. They ended up doing a mixed photo/video shoot with a professional acrobatic dancer flinging puffs of white powder into the air while doing dance moves.

Check out this trippy video showing New York City sidewalks in Matrix-style "bullet time." It was created by filmmaker Paul Trillo, who partnered up with Microsoft to create a special camera rig consisting of 50 individual Nokia Lumia 1020 smartphones mounted to an arc.

These have to qualify as some of the coolest car photographs we've ever seen. Yes, we've seen some amazing composites and some real live racing photos that are quite epic in their own right, but these images by photographers Dmitry Chistoprudov and Nikolay Rykov have the entire Internet wide-eyed.

When you hear the term flower photography, it probably doesn't inspire a particularly powerful reaction. There are plenty of gorgeous images of flowers -- from wildflower fields to beautifully-lit bouquets -- and so the genre isn't somewhere we usually look for inspiration.

That is, until we ran across photographer Mo Devlin's stunning shots of frozen flowers.

Apparently if you shoot in certain environments that are cold enough, beautiful patterns of snow and ice form on the front element of your lens. This is what photographer Alessandro Della Bella's glass looked like as he was shooting at an altitude of around 10,000 feet on Mount Titlis in temperatures of around 1° F.

This past Tuesday, a major fire gutted an abandoned warehouse in Chicago. More than 50 fire companies and nearly 200 firefighters were summoned to the scene to battle the blaze. What's interesting is that temperatures in the area were so low that the water used to put out the fire quickly froze, turning the building into a giant block of ice.

Newer weatherproof compact and high-end cameras often feature "freeze-proofing" as one of their attributes, but unless you live in an extremely cold environment (or enjoy sticking your camera inside a freezer), you probably haven't experienced temperatures low enough for even an ordinary camera to break down.

Swiss photographer Alessandro Della Bella has. The photographer above shows what one of his cameras recently looked like during a shoot in extremely low temperatures.

Earlier this year, we shared a crazy example of how you can make water drops look like they're frozen in midair simply by passing the water over a speaker and using sound vibrations to sync the drops with the frame rate of your camera. Well, Japan's largest music channel, Space Shower TV, has taken the idea and turned it into clever commercial. What you see above is ordinary footage using this trick -- there's no fancy CGI trickery, reversal during post, or high-speed camera footage involved.

Photographer Jon Shireman has a cool project titled Broken Flowers that features photographs of flowers that were shattered. How do you shatter flowers, you ask? By freezing them with liquid nitrogen!

A couple weeks ago we shared an interesting video in which a speaker and Canon 5D Mark …

When recording video, a camera’s frame rate can produce some pretty strange effects. If matched up with a helicopter’s …

J. Mettälä took a camera under a frozen lake in Finland and captured this beautiful (and mind-bending) footage of …

Last Friday an anonymous poster on the photography board of 4chan sparked a discussion that rippled into the blogosphere after freezing their camera to see whether ISO performance improves at lower temperatures.
