15 Beautiful Star Trail Photographs from an Australian Photographer

Among the various genres of photography, Astrophotography is one that could be so challenging. It will take a lot of researching, travelling (sometimes), preparation, timing, skills, accessories and patience. Notably, unlike other genres, the artistic element is not given much consideration in some subgenres of astrophotography. When the photographs of the sun, moon, another planet, another galaxy, a comet, or a nebula, the goal is to capture them with sharp focus, correct exposure and suitable magnification. It is all about technicality, not about art. But when it comes to Milkyway photography and Star Trail photography, the artistic element is much needed to create a good photograph. Lincoln Harrison is an Australian photographer who has mastered the art of star trail photography. H...

These Adorable Photographs of Harvest Mice Inside Flowers Will Melt Your Heart

Pet Photography

We all can agree that Harvest Mice are cute and adorable little creatures. Despite that, they are not a popular subject in wildlife photography or pet photography. But, this photographer Miles Herbert seems to have decided that they deserve to be shot (with a camera, of course) up close. So he went his way and created a series of adorable photographs of Harvest Mice inside flowers, in his indoor studio. Instead of disturbing the wildlife, a bunch of captive-bred mice have been used in these photoshoots. Although, it should be noted that once the mice are strong enough, they are released into the wild. Herbert's decision to place mice inside tulip flowers generates a whole other vibe. Even though tulips are not so strong, their strength is just enough to contain a little harvest mouse i...

Pet Photography

Pet photography is widely regarded as one of the most challenging sub-genres since it calls for not just technical expertise but also impeccable timing and patience on the part of the photographer.
