On this website I read about a photographer who takes pictures of spiral staircases. He takes time to find a perfect staircase in order to capture it's beauty and disorientation. He takes the photo from the very top.
I learned that the angle is very important in creating a whimsical look to the photo.
1. I picked this photo because of the spiral effect and colors. It's very bright and looks like it was very elegant at a time when in use.
2. Lines are present

This website shows environmental objects over 2,000 years old. The photographer worked with biologists and traveled the world for this project.
I learned that the oldest things don't share anything in common. One plant may be from the coast while another is from the desert.
1. I picked this photo because it shows one lonely tree that was able to survive despite having few neighbors.
2. This photo has simplicity in the plain sky against the tree.

This website is about a photographers experience of time lapsing. He answers questions about why people are drawn to time lapse while also explaining how to get a good time lapse.

b. The video was made by Joe Capra.
c. The video is about the time lapse of Rio de Janeiro. He choose places that capture the lively-ness of the city and spent weeks just trying to pick put the right music for the video.

1. This website is about how people brought projectors into a forest to illuminate the 3-d elements in nature creating a light show.
2. In the video, I saw different parts and creatures of nature with light patterns projected on to them causing illuminating and motion effects.
3. The video was mostly created by a photographer named Tarek Mawad and an animator named Frederick Van Schoor. The music/sound etc is credited to more people at the end of the video.
