Extreme sports photographer Mark Watson tells of the photographic adventure of a lifetime – capturing the spectacular Morning Glory cloud. Using a Nikon D300S + 10.5mm fisheye lens attached to the hang glider he provides an incredible angle of the mysterious formation. In an amazing feat, world record holding, Red Bull hang-glider Jonny Durand, has become the first man ever to perform aerobatics on the cloud above the remote wilderness of the Gulf Of Carpentaria.

Born in 1946, Yann Arthus-Bertrand has always been fond of nature. It was in the late 70s, in Kenya, while studying with his wife Anne the every day life of a pride of lions that, that he truly became a photographer. He understood that he had to tell the facts through images rather than words. He also discovered the beauty of the world seen from above when he became a hot air balloon pilot and began experimenting aerial photography.

Today, Apple announced Apple Aperture 3. A long time awaited upgrade for the Apple Aperture application for professional photograhpers. We’re waiting for this update for a very long time. Some users already switched to Adobe Lightroom, but not me. And it was a really good decision to wait for Aperture 3!

The new Aperture 3 gives you powerful yet easy-to-use tools to refine images, showcase your photography, and manage massive libraries on your Mac. It’s pro performance with iPhoto simplicity.

You can find all the features on Apple.com or try the trial version! Apple Aperture 3 is fully 64bit, so finally, I can enjoy my MacPro with 8 cores and 16GB RAM. I’m curious how Aperture 3 will use this beast.

Joey Lawrence is famous also for his photos from Ethiopia. Visit his website for more of his work after seeing this video.

I love lighthouses. Unfortunatelly, there are not lighthouses in our country, so I need to travel to see some of the most interesting. Last year, we did a trip to Scotland to one of the most famous lighthouses on the world – The Bell Rock Lighthouse. Bell Rock Lighthouse is the world’s second oldest surviving sea-washed lighthouse and was built on Bell Rock (also known as Inchcape) in the North Sea, 12 miles off the coast of Angus, Scotland, east of the Firth of Tay. Standing at 35 m high, the light is visible from 35 statute miles inland.

The masonry work on which the light house rests was constructed to such a high standard that it has not been replaced or adapted in almost 200 years. The lamps and reflectors were replaced in 1843, with the original equipment being used in the lighthouse at Cape Bonavista, Newfoundland where they are currently on display. The working of the lighthouse has been automated since 1988.

We had a trip to the Bell Rock Lighthouse on a small boat and it is really stunning to see it. There is a lot of sea-washed lighthouses on the world, see the video how hard it must be to be a lighthouse keeper.
