Stunning Pictures and PhotosPhotography is a very powerful medium and a very difficult craft. Excellent photos don’t only display some facts – they tell stories, awake feelings and manage to share with the audience the emotions a photographer experienced when clicking the shot button. Taking excellent pictures is damn hard as you need to find a perfect perspective and consider the perfect timing. To achieve brilliant photography you need practice and patience. However, it is worth it: the results can be truly stunning. Below you’ll find 50 brilliant photos and stunning pictures – some pictures tell stories, some are incredibly beautiful, some are funny and some are very sad. |
Kim Kardashian Shows Off The Booty That Made Her FamousWe’ve tried to resist. When Kim Kardashian showed up in New York last week with a skin tight, mini-dress on, we didn’t post the photos. I mean enough is enough with the semi-nakedness right? That was a nice thought while it lasted, but we’re back to ogling Kim’s assets once again. Check out more photos of her frolicking on the beach after the jump. Miami has been Kim’s destination of choice recently, as she is helping her sisters to film “Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami” and working to get over her recent breakup with Reggie Bush. Looks like she’s doing a pretty good job moving on. There’s no doubt that some hot Miamians are lining up around Ocean Ave. to holla at Kimmie K. |

Battlestar Galacti-car: The Street Legal ViperThere are numerous awful vehicles resembling Cylon Raiders from Battlestar Galactica. Fortunately for humanity, an amusement park mechanic has built this sweet, V8-powered homemade street legal Colonial Viper to protect us from them. You may have seen this car in io9's "Gallery Of Pimped-Out Battlestar, Star Wars Cars", and now we have the backstory from Jalopnik reader Troskysghost who was there to witness its creation and explain the genius behind converting a Postal Service Jeep into a a robot-fighting car with a small-block Chevy V8. |
Apocalypse-Fearing Folk Can Seek Shelter in Futuristic $10 Million Doomsday BunkerA doomsday bunker envisioned by California company Vivos can offer you, your family, and 4,000 other people the chance to escape the end of the world in a network of 20 underground shelters. Surely even the skeptics can't resist the allure of scary music played over scenes of comfortable underground habitation, as NPR's All Tech Considered reports. The company claims to be a privately-funded venture with no religious affiliations, except perhaps to the gods of commerce. It certainly takes an agnostic view by listing all the possible reasons why you might want to pony up and help build those $10 million bunkers, including predictions by Nostradamus, the Mayans, the Hopi, and the Bible. |
Mean Green Mother: The Dodge ChallengerSuccessful car design is as much a matter of prognostication as engineering skill or styling acumen. Even today, with the benefits of computers, the lead time for a new model is at least three years. To be successful, a design has to take into account not only where the market is now, but where it’s going to be three years from now. If you show up late to the dance, it may not matter how stylishly you’re dressed or how clever your moves. Dodge learned that the hard way in the early 1970s when it made its belated entry into the "pony car" market: the formidable but ill-fated Dodge Challenger. |
Remote Control DSLR BeetleCam Goes On Ground-Level Photo SafariSome wildlife photographers spend months immersed in muck to capture the perfect shot. The Burrard-Lucas brothers decided to let an RC car do the dirty work. Their BeetleCam came face-to-face with lions, elephants, and buffalo and captured these stunning shots. The BeetleCam is the ingenuous creation of Will and Matt Burrard-Lucas, two acclaimed UK wildlife photographers who wanted to get up close and personal with some of Africa's most dangerous animals (with a wide-angle lens, natch). They strapped a Canon EOS 400D on top of a four-wheel drive buggy and rigged up one controller to operate the entire contraption. The photographs, recovered only after the BeetleCam was "promptly mauled, and carried off into the bush" by a pride of lions, show the animals from a unique, "I'm-a-small-rodent-about-to-get-snacked-on" perspective. |
