Nature is full of incredible moments, unbelievable scenes and tons of action. Whether it’s large predators like lions and bears attacking their prey, or the tiniest of insects teaming up to accomplish a task, nature has countless photographable moments at all scales. One of the reasons that nature photography is so popular is that it is so accessible. You don’t have to dive to the depths of the ocean or travel into the wild to find a fascinating scene. Wildlife is all around us and a great nature scene is often no further than the nearest wooded area. In nature, sometimes incredible moments happen that are captured at just the right time by photographers, like these: jump By Örvar Atli Þorgeirsson The grasp By Astrid Mannerkoski One hand try By Foad Mirzaie buddy By Valdas Autumn fairy tale By liangdawei Team Work By Andiyan Lutfi Crossing By Andiyan Lutfi sweet dew By liangdawei tree frog By Veli Aydogdu Pandion haliaetus and a Koi By Assaf Gavra Teamwork By SreeKumar Mahadevan Pillai Weaver ants mending nest_P.Karunakaran By Karunakaran Parameswaran Pillai Men, Stand Your Ground.

To run a successful restaurant, the food needs to be good. But even with good food, poor customer service, poor ambiance and poor branding can sink even the best restaurants. These days, the restaurant business is so competitive that a restaurant needs to stand out in many ways, and the interior/exterior design is one of them. The ambiance of a restaurant is key to making the food seem as part of a cohesive experience, and the lighting also helps to draw out and highlight certain aspects of the food. Creating an location design for a restaurant can be challenging, and often multiple concepts are required to create the vision. This is where visualization comes into play. Using computer software, it’s possible to create realistic designs, like these: Briggs Bar Fiori Divino restaurant view 001 by nstu3dio Montero Pizza Art Spacialists Restaurant in Bordeaux Stefano’s Oyster Bar Crespella Related Posts Stunning Interior Renders of Commercial Environments Deliciously Creative Food Logo Designs Inviting Interior and Exterior Design Ideas Lifelike Architectural Visualizations Delicious Examples of Food Photography

Superheros are some of the most popular characters in fictional media, and with good reason: they wield incredible powers and perform awesome feats, and save the world from countless enemies and disasters. Each superhero comes with their own powers, and often, their own weaknesses, perhaps most famously, Superman’s weakness is kryptonite. Often, but not always, superheros have to mask their identity in order to protect their work. Superheros can be captured in real life photography, using some clever photomanipulation and staging of elements, and the results range from awe-inspiring to cute and adorable: Supergirl By David Love Evanescence By wayofart.ch Catwoman By Ben Britt stealthy like a cat By wayofart.ch The Amazing Spiderman By Isidro Urena super girl By mehmet turgut Supersvendsen By Glenn Meling Man of Steel By Glenn Meling Superhero By Rangizzz Catwoman 2.0 By Stowell Fiery By Christophe Kiciak Man of Pixels By Les Wolverine / self portrait By william belle Spiderman By Ferj Photography Super Girl By Rebecca Banks Desi Superman By Omair Muhammad Lizzy By Frank Sanders SThe Incredible By Daniel The DigArtisT York ReLife Line By Daniel The DigArtisT York dressed for carnival birthday By Tor Egil Brevik Ironman By Scott Meeker Wolverine in London By Glyn Dewis BATMAN by Calvin Hollywood By Calvin Hollywood Catwoman By Sébastien Roignant I have a Hulk By Glenn Meling Black Cat City View By David Love THE FIRST AVENGER by Steve Thewis SUPER HEROES By Jonathan justicia carrasco a new era has begun By wayofart.ch Darkwing By Ralf Mack Related Posts The Art of Flour Abstract Art in the Simple Leaf Windows: More than Just an Opening in Photography 10 New Years Celebration Photographs Need for No Speed: Slow in Photography

Last week, we talked about the importance of location design when it comes to running a successful restaurant or food-based business. If the food is the attraction, and the restaurant is the location, the logo is what helps people recognize it. Logo design requires a ton of creativity and the ability to refine down a vast array of concepts into a single idea. While the design elements may change from industry to industry, the challenge is the same. In the restaurant industry, playing off ingredients or food, or using a play on words, are some of the most creative ways to make interesting logos. Here’s a few examples of creative and clever food logo designs that might just make you want to try these restaurants: Pepperhorn Eggflip Pizza GuavaPlaza BurgerFactory Rooster Bakery cuisincakes Recipe House Eggtown Eduger Related Posts Motor and Car Themed Logo Designs Retro and Vintage Styled Logos Christmas and Holiday Logos Creative Logo Designs for 2013 Burning Hot Fire Logo Designs

Blurriness is usually considered a bad thing. No one likes to have blurry vision, it’s a symptom of poor eyesight or health issues, and it leads to headaches due to the inability of the eye to focus properly. In photography, blur is usually considered an amateur’s problem when it’s unintended, and simply a focusing feature for more advanced photographers. Blur occurs for two main reasons in photography. The first type is focal blur, or blur that results from a lens being focused on something and not on something else, and having a limited depth of field. The other type is motion blur, which is caused by moving objects that are being photographed with slower shutter speeds. Blur isn’t always a bad thing, in fact, it’s often used to highlight or bring out a subject, or to create a sense of motion or intensity, such as in these examples: Speed By Zbynek Cincibus invitation By Jure Kravanja Lisbon - Line 28 By Michael Jurek Balerina Art Wave By Antonyus Bunjamin (Abe) Blending By Nadav Dov Boretzki Vertigo By Vince Russell Rush By Marton Apai Journey By Laszlo Gal Life on the road By Amine Fassi Chained By Zain Uddin Hadfeez London’s Lifeline By Aaron Yeoman something wicked this way comes By blumwurks Loneliness By Manu Barreiro Amazing By ruben redondo Busy street By Irina Sen’ Twister By Ahmed Abdulazim Chasing the Cans II By Barbara Read Berkin Elvan By Emine Basa Workday By Angela Muliani Hartojo passing By ali aminaie ManhattanTwilightBlur By coolor foto Motion Blur By Paul Sikorski Tower Bridge By Tim Stolldorf Untitled By Elke Kulhawy The Knockout Punch By Faisal Haroon Boating By Massimo Della Latta New York by night,2013 By Loreta Teodorova Voutova blurr By Antje Woolum Rainy step By sur Operette Performers Parade By Ridzal Ridwan Related Posts Windows: More than Just an Opening in Photography Need for No Speed: Slow in Photography The Art of Flour Abstract Art in the Simple Leaf Photographers at Work in Pictures

Fire is one of the most important processes that occurs on Earth. The ability to stay warm, eat cooked food and keep predators away was essential to early mankind’s survival, and along the way, it’s been harvested to help power engines and as a weapon through flamethrowers. Fire has some specific concepts associated with it, such as energy, heat, passion, warmth, and destruction. When used in art and design, it frequently expresses one of these concepts. Using fire in design is actually harder than it seems, because fire is not a solid object that can simply be pasted into a scene. It generally needs to be created from scratch or have layer effects applied to get a result. Here’s some tutorials that will help you with it: Create a Magical Flaming Heart Illustration in Photoshop Ridiculously Realistic Scorching Fire Effect Flaming Car in Photoshop How to Create a Flying Land Illustration On Fire Create an Explosive Flaming Poker Card Photoshop Tutorial Making of Fire Dragon Space Explosion Photoshop Tutorial How to Create a Hellacious Flaming Skull in Photoshop Firefish Photoshop Tutorial Dramatic Text on Fire Effect in Photoshop Related Posts Fun Text Effect Tutorials You Have to Try Instructional Winter Photoshop Tutorials Great Photoshop Art & Design Tutorials Best Photoshop Tutorials from 2012 Outstanding Photoshop Illustration Tutorials

Today I’m sharing a set of textures that I shot of an old iron fence. The fence is pretty close to the sea and has therefore rusted quite a bit. I played around with the textures in Lightroom, changing the colors and contrast to archive the gray effect. Download all textures as ZIP from copy.com (30.7Mb) Did you like these textures?
