I have no idea where this came from originally; it seems to have shuttled around the ffffound/tumblr/imageblog ecosystem for ages, although I think the earliest post on Tumblr was by ahole. Anyway, it’s a power of two on a train with interesting (if not entirely to my taste) typography, so here it is.

Train Trip, Sweden, the National Geographic Photo of the Day:
This picture was taken in northern Sweden during a train trip to Abisko. My idea was to capture the warm train going through chilly Lapland’s landscape.

Glide, by Grahame Taylor:
In all my slow-motion work so far, I’ve used a static camera to capture a high-speed event. But, I wondered, what would happen if the camera was the fast-moving object? Use a 210fps camera at 35mph, and on playback at 30fps it’ll seem to the observer that they’re moving at walking pace- but everything observed will be operating at 1/7th speed.

Church and 30th St. San Francisco MUNI Construction (by Ken Murphy)
Impressive stuff. It helps to pique my interest that this is not far down the road from my new flat. I kind of regret not going down to have a look (although the view wouldn’t have been as good as this and it would just have been noisy, probably).
