Danbo is a cardboard character from the manga Yotsuba&! which is very popular on the web.

Several photographers even do a 365 only with this little kawaii sweet characet (for example Randy Santa-Ana and Bunnyrel).

Today the lizard brings you a compilation of great photos of Danbo!

1x.com: pre-screened high quality photos

Onexposure is a website you can browse for hours and hours. The concept is simple yet very efficient: instead of being a simple photo sharing platform, 1x.com is a website which screens photos published to public.

It is a real pleasure to navigate through a website with only quality photographs, and trust me, there are some truly amazing shots!

You can join the community and have your own gallery on 1x.com; with an account, you can choose which images to display.

Check it out for yourself!

High Speed Photography: Frozen In Time

Yesterday's note was all about long time exposure, today the lizard will show you what happens when you do the opposite: take photographs with very short time exposure.

Just like slow shutter speed can be used to integrate motion in a picture, high shutter speed is used to capture a moment; the exposure time is so short that it looks like time has stopped!

You may understand the difficulties to take such pictures: first you need to set a shutter speed fast enough to avoid any motion blur; second you need enough light to have the right exposure, unless you are OK with letting some noise in by increasing ISO; third synchronisation IS an issue. Accessories we talked about lately will undoubtedly come in handy (you don't need to thank me!).

365: one photo a day

One photo a day; this is how many photographers have challenged themselves. It's called a 365. flickr has many of these galleries, and there are even websites specialized in hosting this kind of project.

I was very curious about this concept, how it started. After some research on the Internet, bingo!

It is time for this blog to have its first thread: each thursday from this day on, I will post a 365 you can follow.

In tribute to Stephen Poff, let's see what he can do!

Lights on a profession today: reporter photographer.

Outdoor photos

I believe Nature is the greatest artistic inspiration. Poetry, architecture, cinema and of course photography are deeply influenced by Nature, its power, its wonderful landscapes.

Today the lizard brings you to a website which compiles amazing "outdoor photos" of all continents.
