Light painting, also known as light graffiti, is an art that uses a slow-shutter camera as the perspective while its’ subject is a light in the hands of an artist.

These photographs show this modern master painting with light on a photographic canvas in a way that delivers his vision to today’s technological avant garde....

Nikon D3S Sample Photos – When it comes to high speed, low light photography, a camera’s megapixel rating isn’t its most vital statistic. Modern digital cameras use sensors that respond to light at different speeds and qualities– and this is measured using the ISO setting. The higher the ISO setting, the more sensitive the camera’s sensor is to light, and the lower the quality of the final image. Nikon’s new flagship Nikon D3S digital camera was designed to produce unblemished quality in low light and high speed settings– from sports to nature and even at the night club....
The fashion scene of the eighties was unashamedly cool. Clothes and accessories loudly announced their presence with their distinctive flashy colors and non-conforming designs. The sunglasses of the 80s were no exception to this. These retro shades were defined by their screaming colors and outrageous geometric patterns.

Instead of commanding a second mortgage, a watch like one of these from Tendence can be had for between $200 and $1,000 at retail. In our eyes, design and quality are more meaningful than the price tag, making Tendence a very desirable option....
