While embedded with troops in Afghanistan in the late 2000s, war photographer and writer Michael Yon captured numerous photos of the sparkling halo that can appear when a helicopter’s rotors hit sand and dust.

Photographer and videographer Michael Shainblum just released some 100% unedited 4K test footage and first thoughts from/about the DJI Mavic Pro, and it’s (to use the technical term) freaking gorgeous. So why does half the Internet think the Mavic Pro has a low quality camera?
Without a frame of reference, it’s impossible to conceptualize how massive the world’s largest oil tanker, the world’s deepest mine, or a B-2 bomber’s wingspan really are. That’s where these composite photos by Kevin Wisbeth come into play.
In the span of just over one week, DJI and GoPro each unveiled a foldable and ultra-portable personal camera drone. With so much hype surrounding these two products, we’ve decided to do a comparison of features and specs to see how the Mavic Pro and Karma stack up — at least on paper.
This is one of the more inspirational, down to Earth, GAS busting gear monologs we’ve seen. Originally published in 2015, this video by DSLRguide’s Simon Cade explains exactly why he has no interest in upgrading his trusty Canon T3i to something more popular and powerful.

Actress and singer Selena Gomez, owner of the most followed Instagram account in the world, just reached a massive milestone: 100 million followers. The kicker? She hasn’t even shared a photo since August.
This beautiful still frame, captured by travel filmmaker Brandon Li in Hong Kong during a drone test, is a complete accident. And as accidental photos go, it falls somewhere between spectacular and “holy crap that’s cool.”
If you ever come across this photo being referenced as an old portrait of scientist Marie Curie, don’t be fooled. It’s actually a 2001 photo of an actress playing Marie Curie — a photo that has fooled a number of countries around the world.

Back in 2013, Facebook opened its first data center outside the United States. Located in Luleå, Sweden, the 900,000-square-foot complex — about the size of 11 football fields — looks like something out of a science fiction film. New photos now offer a rare look inside.
