(Really) Stunning Pictures and Photos

Advertisement

Photography 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.

All pictures are copyright of their respective owners. Please explore the further work of the photographers by browsing through their work. We’ve tried to cover different themes so that everybody will find something interesting and spectacular for himself / herself. All screenshots are linked und lead to the pages from which they’ve been taken.

    Professional or amateur – they are stunning photographs. Although I think the photograph is colourful, well composed, etc, I have to point out that cockfighting is not sport – it’s cruel to take advantage of an animal’s instincts for amusement or money.

    The seagull on the sign is clearly a doctored photo. the picture on the sign is simply a silhouette of the seagull on top of it.
    Anybody can edit a photo. it takes true skill to capture images such as “Mt. Fuji”, or “Glow”.

    These pictures are truly amazing and just made me catch my breath !!!
    But, I feel that some pictures were not ment to be here, such as the cat and dog and girl to name some.
    These pictures should truly remarkable pictures, but some of the ones ( like the ones listed above) were not that remarkable or unique so I feel they should not be part of the top 50.
    All in all though, most of them were just splendid
    Thank you for sharing them with us. =)

    Considering the fact that the “seagull” on the sign is obviously photoshopped(the birds silhouette matches perfectly to the image on the sign), how many more here are fakes? It’s amazing how many people didn’t even notice.

    @Pete (February 27th, 2009, 12:29 pm)

    The photo you asked for can be seen here:
    clevelandseniors.com/images/funny/09-18-08/fetus-foot.jpg

    I have no connection to that site, just googled it and found a link for you. I have no idea if it’s real or not. I know when I was pregnant, I used to be able to see the shape of his heel and actually ‘catch’ the tiny heel with my hand when he stretched, but never had anything like that photo appear. I guess it depends on a lot of factors… weight gain, baby’s position, skin elasticity, etc…

    Hope that’s what you were looking for!

    @smashing magazine – love the photos, real, photoshopped or not… they’re quite awesome. Same with the rain photos and the graffiti photos I was browsing earlier. Thanks!

    My one objection to the display of these images is that nowhere are the photographers acknowledged. Clicking on the image taking one to the source is not good enough. The names should go along with the images.

    If they were paintings this would never be the case. The photographer is an artist in his/her own right and deserves to have acknowledgement as an artist would. This is particularly true with the advent of post camera processing techniques that can enhance an image.

    If they are stock images they would need to be paid for and I believe should still be acknowledged if the information is available regardless. If they are shared images (given permission by the photographer to be shared with others as seems to be the case here) I believe they should still be acknowledged.

    These are not ordinary “photos” but in most cases are images that have taken some preparation and training to achieve and perhaps hours in the post-editing process. The photographer deserves recognition of some sort. To ignore this is to be disrespectful.

    Just a plug for those photographers whose individual talents go unnoticed and unrecognized.
