Flowers blooming 2

You can't help but appreciate the dedication and commitment that goes into creating such a magnificent video such as this...

It took nine months to capture a total of more than 40,000 shots. The video is composed of 24,626 shots. I could not estimate in advance the blooming period of each flower, so it was very hard to set the interval between each exposition. I chose 1-2 minutes. The longest blooming of Orchidea Dendrobium is over 105 hours. Therefore, it consumed more than 2000 shots. The fastest flowering flower was Succulent Faucaria and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis. Although blooming lasted only 7 hours, I shot about 1500 shots for everyone. I knew they would be fast and so I shorten the interval for 20 seconds. Very much postproduction work has led to the removal of the tiny insects that passed through the flowers during flowering. Just over three minutes of video shows incredible 929 hours of real time.

ICE SWIM | Feeling the power from the cold

Swedish photographer, Jonna Jinton shows us how to become one with nature, more specifically, with winter, by going ice dipping - complete with some nice wooly socks. The video has been viewed over 1M times...

The winter is here again, and this time I wanted to prepare myself for this 6 cold months to come. This winter I want to feel the cold as a source of power, and not the opposite.
I thought that taking a little swim in the ice cold water is the best way to start this winter, to really get into the very core of how cold feels like. Almost like a ritual. The ice swim become a symbol for not letting the cold take control of me.

And it's a way of testing myself. It's a strange feeling to do something when my whole body tells me to not do it.

This is something I will try to do regularly during this winter. Because taking a ice swim really has the most amazing effect on our body and mind. I have never, ever felt so full of live as the two times I have taken a swim in ice cold water. It's like giving your body a power start.

This Dish Could Kill You

It must be really good for these people who continue to risk their lives eating this dish...

When Egypt’s Ministry of Health issues its annual warning to stay away from a local deadly delicacy called feseekh, you would think that most would comply. Instead, thousands flock to their local feseekh eateries every day to enjoy the traditional dish. Feseekh, or fermented mullet fish, can cause poisoning or even death if not prepared properly. That is why Ibrahim Shaheen, a local expert and maker of feseekh, takes extra care to make sure his fish are fermented properly. Using a technique that has been passed down his family for over 100 years, Shaheen carefully prepares the fish and sells it to restaurants all over Egypt. He understands the risk involved in eating and serving feseekh but for him, and countless others, the risk is worth the reward.
