I'm a fan of landscape/wildlife pictures. Found a pretty cool site where people post pics and they are critiqued, some are pretty amazing.

The rocket launches are cool. That's another one of those access situations. You ain't getting the best of those shots (or at least the closest) without key access to those facilities.

Spectacular photos though.

With the exception of the aerial picture, those same Shuttle launch views are actually captured for every mission.

I read somewhere about one of the guys that takes those launch pics, and it's all done remotely (obviously). Those close up shots just look so cool. Gives you a perspective you don't get anywhere else.

Just came acros this guy in a random Flickr search. He has some stunning landscape work. A lot of them prominently feature natural patterns which is something that always draws me in.

Too bad the pictures are probably better than their last 2-3 albums.

h8er...

it took a while for With Teeth to grow on me.. it didn't totally hit until "Beside you in time" was released - the live versions > album versions, by far.

Year Zero did not do ANYTHING for me... except for a few tracks.. but after hearing a few of the tracks live at Lolla, I have a few new favorites... "God Given" is stellar. And I always liked "In This Twilight", which he ended with.

Fragile similarly didn't do much for me when it came out and it took me until 2005 to really appreciate some of the tracks.. especially after hearing a good number live all over the 2005 tour..

But my favorite NIN is definitely Downward Spiral, Broken, PHM...

This show was good but def not the best I've been to... 2005 was far better... after seeing "Burn" live any show without it is pretty much not as good, period. They did have an amazing lightshow with an interactive screen with lights that would react to his movements and proximity... very very cool and unlike anything I'd seen before at a music show. The song selection was lacking though. And also energy level of certain songs was lacking. And also there were too many damn people there.

I didn't want to post any of this guys work here, but I thought you guys would like to see his stuff. I think it is very good, he has a great eye to see the image a way I've not seen anybody else do it.

Another gallery of the Cloudgate scuplture (The Bean) in Chicago. I'm posting this one in particular because of the black and whites. Some of them are simply stunning.

Was watching a show called Close Up on the Ovation channel (its channel 83 in NY) and this photographer was one of 6 they showed. Her stuff is really cool and she sometimes has to actually break into the places she wants to photograph.
