Ultraviolet-induced fluorescence (UVIF) occurs when molecules in an object are excited (energized) by high-energy ultraviolet wavelengths (from our UV flashlight) and as a result, emit longer wavelengths in the visible portion of the spectrum (red, green, and blue). These emitted longer wavelengths are what we are photographing.
A photographer flying his drone above the desert in Saudi Arabia discovered a huge fish-shaped rock in a remote location.
If the weather forecast shows clear skies and bright sunlight, it doesn't mean photographers should abandon their plans for a landscape shoot. Photographer Michael Shainblum has shared tips on how he leverages these weather conditions to come home with a successful set of photos.
Photographer Michael Shainblum chose to capture photos with only his 16-35mm f/4 lens and shares how he composes his seascape images with such a wide angle and how he crops them for a polished finished photo.
Landscape photography does not always have to be about dramatic sunsets and striking light. In his latest video, photographer Michael Shainblum demonstrates how to bring out the nuanced beauty of an overcast day.
Extreme macro photographer Chris Perani specializes in capturing the natural world in extreme detail. His latest series "Minerals" gives us a peek at the intricate structure of minerals, fossils, shells, and gems like never before, with each photograph created by stacking over 25,000 photos together.
Since the early 20th century, people have been studying and theorizing how some rather heavy rocks in Death Valley called 'Sailing Stones' somehow glide across the dry, desert floor of what is often the hottest location in the United States.
And while a number of feasible theories had come to light, it's only recently that one of these theories was proven thanks to a dedicated time-lapse camera setup.
Earlier this month, we featured a neat light painting experiment by photographer Matt Holland that involved long exposure photos of rock climbers wearing colorful lights. The climbs resulted in colorful light trails that tracked the course each climber took.
Over the past four years, photographer Neal Grundy has also been working at combining long exposures, light painting, and rock climbing. Unlike Holland, however, his work is more focused on illuminating the faces of large cliffs rather than creating squiggly trails of light.
