Full Length Photographer Movie ~ "All The Sins Of Sodom" |1968

"Shocking, sensual and dramatic, this 1968 theatrical sensation is one of Joe Sarno's most compelling dramas - an erotic tale of lust and obsession, about an ambitious photographer, his love, and the sensual and manipulative woman who comes between them: Henning is a fashion photographer driven by visions of artistic glory. He is encouraged by a literary agent to produce a volume of erotic nudes and works to create the perfect layout with his favorite model, Leslie. All seems to be going well until the mysterious Joyce appears; dark and sensual, Joyce plays games with the photographer's ego, driving a wedge between Henning and Leslie and seducing one of his other models. Blinded by his own ambitions, Henning is unable to see the ruinous web that Joyce is weaving..." Enjoy!

"All The Sins Of Sodom"was inspired by "Blow-Up" no doubt. 

Umm, yeah can you please put your turtleneck back on chewbacca.

This cover brings new meaning to the phrase "Say cheese!"

Magnificent Singapore Tilt-Shift Time lapse by Photographer Keith Loutit

"For 'The Lion City', the idea behind the extension of the tilt shift technique is for focus and distance to be something the viewer can experience. It also doubles to communicate the constant heat and humidity that hits you whenever you leave the comfort of air conditioning in Singapore." [via Kieth Loutit]

570 Megapixel Camera Photographs Galaxies Up To 8 Billion Light Years Away.

The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is designed to probe the origin of the accelerating universe and help uncover the nature of dark energy by measuring the 14-billion-year history of cosmic expansion with high precision. More than 120 scientists from 23 institutions in the United States, Spain, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and Germany are working on the project. This collaboration built the extremely sensitive 570-Megapixel digital camera, DECam, and mounted it on the Blanco 4-meter telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory high in the Chilean Andes. Starting in Sept. 2012 and continuing for five years, DES will survey a large swath of the southern sky out to vast distances in order to provide new clues to this most fundamental of questions. [via DES]

"The achievement of first light through the Dark Energy Camera

 begins a significant new era in our exploration of the cosmic

 frontier," said James Siegrist, associate director of science for

 high-energy physics at the US Department of Energy, which 

oversaw the instrument's construction.

"The results of this survey will bring us closer to understanding 

the mystery of dark energy

 and what it means for the Universe."

This is the first image from the world's most powerful digital camera.

NGC 1365 is a barred spiral galaxy around 60 million light years from Earth, located in the Fornax galactic cluster.

Over the next five years, scientists plan to create these massive colour photos of 1/8th of the night sky, capturing 300 million galaxies, 100,000 galaxy clusters, and even 4,000 supernovae.

The goal is to discover the nature of dark energy, which is

theorised to be responsible for the ever-faster expansion of

 the Universe.
