Dark Stormy Cloud Pictures

Nothing makes a landscape portrait quite as ominous and dramatic as dark clouds. Sometimes they make everything gloomy; other times they create this wonderful contrast between light and dark; or they simply represent the inevitability of an awesome thunderstorm.

I woke up today to find it snowing hard outside and Mother Nature was slowly creating a heap of work on my driveway. Being that it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, I had no motivation to clear it off so instead I sat at my computer and found cool snow storm pictures for those to enjoy from the comfort of their chairs.

Pictures of Nothingness

Life can be a lot simpler with nothing. Consider how much we worry about stuff around us. Take it all away and the stress tends to go away. It’s only boring to some because they are so used to being so geared up with the bustling of life all the time. Here’s a neat story that illustrates our mindset sometimes. A few years ago, a very rich businessman decides to take a vacation to a small tropical island in the South Pacific. He has worked hard all his life and has decided that now is the time to enjoy the fruits of his labor. He is excited about visiting the island because he’s heard that there is incredible fishing there. He loved fishing as a young boy, but hasn’t gone in years because he has been so busy working to save for his retirement. So on the first day, he has his breakfast and heads to the beach. It’s around 9:30 am. There he spots a fisherman coming in with a large bucket full of fish! “How long did you fish for?” he asks. The fisherman looks at the businessman with a wide grin across his face and explains that the fishes for about three hours every day. The businessman then asks him why he returned so quickly. “Don’t worry”, says the fisherman, “There’s still plenty of fish out there.” Dumbfounded, the businessman asks the fisherman why he didn’t continue catching more fish. The fisherman patiently explains that what he caught is all he needs. “I’ll spend the rest of the day playing with my family, talking with my friends and maybe drinking a little wine. After that I’ll relax on the beach.” Now the rich businessman figures he needs to teach this peasant fisherman a thing or two. So he explains to him that he should stay out all day and catch more fish. Then he could save up the extra money he makes and buy and even bigger boats to catch even more fish. The he could keep reinvesting his profits in even more boats and hire many other fisherman to work for him. If he works really hard, in 20 or 30 years he’ll be a very rich man indeed. The businessman feels pleased that he’s helped teach this simple fellow how to become rich. Then the fisherman looks at the businessman with a puzzled look on his face and asks what he’ll do after he becomes very rich. The businessman responds quickly “You can spend time with your family, talk with your friends, and maybe drink a little wine. Or you could just relax on the beach.” Sometimes having less is more. The same goes for good photography too. Here are good pictures of nothingness.

Sweden’s Hidden Beauty – Photography by Suzana Ristic

Adventurous Open Road Pictures

One of the best things about a deserted road is the that nobody going 5 below the speed limit is in front of you. Open roads give you a feeling of freedom and adventure. Maybe it’s because the majority of people tend to enjoy living in the city and every once in a while just need a break from all the traffic. So until you get out on a wide open highway or a dirt road in the country someday, you can experience the adventurous open road pictures right here.

Amazing Examples of Camera Toss Photography

Yes you read the title correctly, I said camera toss. There are people out there that create beautiful images by throwing their expensive cameras in the air with the shutter open. I for one don’t think I could just toss my dSLR up in the air and hope I catch it before it smashes into the ground. However I’m glad we have some thrill seekers that like doing this because I enjoy looking at the images they produce. Here are some excellent examples to inspire you to go throw a camera too.

Cloud Formations That Make Pictures Great

Clouds can be one of the most important features when taking pictures. They add so much to a photograph, especially when they are formed just right. Take a wonderful cloud formation and add a beautiful sunset, expansive landscape, or a stunning cityscape, and you’ve turned a good photo into a great one. Granted, there are a lot of other factors that go into taking a great picture with clouds in it but next time you go outside and see some amazing clouds, grab your camera because you may miss out on a great photo.

Delicious Examples of Food Photography

A well photographed dish has the ability to assault the senses with an image so real you can almost smell the sweetness, feel the warmth, and sense the steam rising. Food brings people together. It is often a precursor to the most memorable days of our lives – in those moments we embrace togetherness, celebrate another year, or remember why we are really thankful. To photograph a meal is to photograph someone’s heritage, culture, and memories.
As you look through these 40 images, allow them to tempt your taste buds. Get caught up in the colors, textures, and artistry. Just beware though, you may find yourself running to the kitchen with a fresh new craving!
