A Breathtaking Sunset
Here’s something that’s hard to fake: a great sunset. What’s more beautiful about it is that it happens every day. We have the luxury of witnessing breathtaking sunrises and sunsets on the daily. There’s a saying that goes, “The Sunset is a promise of a new beginning,” and there’s so much depth to it.
We all know that there’s always a beginning in the end. So, every day, we are reminded that when something in our lives appears to be reaching its conclusion, we should not weep because it only means that a new horizon is just around the corner.
Rooftop Forest!
Yeah, everyone loves a rooftop garden, but a rooftop forest? That's amazing! The photo shown above depicts a rooftop garden that has grown to immense proportions, and honestly, it's what the world needs: more plants! There should be a law that every building should have a rooftop garden.
This particular building is located in Beijing, China, and was created by Professor Zhang Lin. He spent a total of six years gathering rubble and rocks so that he'd be able to achieve his dreams of having a penthouse that looks like a mountaintop! The residents from the lower floors hated him for it because now, the building his creation is causing the building to crack and, as a result, experience leaks. I guess too much of everything is bad, huh?
It’s Not an Alien Egg, We Promise!
We know it looks like the spawn of a race that will soon put an end to humanity, but it's just a geyser caught on camera midway into the eruption. If you must know, it is a spring that's known to make intermittent discharges of water where it's turbulently ejected out of the surface and mostly accompanied by steam.
The formation of geysers is mostly a rare phenomenon and happens if the environment meets specific hydrogeological conditions. All geyser field sites exist near active volcanoes, activated through the magma heat. The eruptive activity of a geyser may stop or change if there's mineral deposition under its original plumbing.
We Can’t Believe Those Are Not Stained Glass!
Often, they call the photo shown above as the "stained glass windows" of China. It looks like a regular rice field when you're on land, but it's a whole different story when you see it on a bird's-eye view. The look is almost as if it's from a canvas made by an impressionist. As if an artist plashed its colors spontaneously on a white sheet, never expecting it to become this phenomenal piece.
The Yuanyang Terraces, the specific place in China where you can find artistic-looking rice terraces, receive incomparable glory from cultivating rice. At a latitude of 200 to 2000 m above sea level, the rice fields cover more than 20,000 km2.
How to Spot a Great Photographer
The ability to play with the elements available to you when taking a photo is what makes a photographer great. It's not easy to achieve a particular effect if you don't know how to operate the ISO, flash, exposure, and other things. Photographers today can easily edit any photo with ease through Photoshop and make it look like it's real, and that's okay.
But if you want to learn how to identify a great photographer from someone who's just knowledgeable about the field, then you must look at their raw photos. A great example would be the photo shown above.
