The most powerful super-computer in Europe (and the 13th in the World), MareNostrum, is located in Barcelona, Spain, and has been installed in an old chapel. This gives us the most beautiful supercomputer in the world (this is nearly computer soft-pron photo).

HDR photography (High Dynamic Range Photo) is a process where you take several photo pictures with very different exposures (different speeds or different apertures) and then use a software to pack them into one image packing the whole range of light. The result is often a little erie but allows to take images impossible to catch in any other circumstance.
Good examples come from the Japan HDR group on Flickr, like the following.
But if you want to test your capacity at this, I suggest you dig into the following links:
Whatever your software package, you should find something to use.

If like me your a photographer who wouldn’t dare making a video, you still can think about doing a decent time-lapse sequence out of your photographs. However, this cannot happen just by taking images and loading them into a software.
You must start by studying the lessons from PhotoJojo.com’s Ultimate Guide to Time-Lapse Photography.
When you think that you’ve mastered the technique, you can think again and look at the following example created by Lucas Oleniuk, photographer of the Toronto Star. Taking 20,000 of his still photographs, he built a 20-days sequence re-hashing the issue of global warming for us.

After showing you a fake Flickr web site for Yann Arthus-Bertrand, here is his true web site on Pikeo.com:
While we’re at that, let’s point you to the latest effort from Yann Arthus-Bertrand: a layer for Google Earth, that allows you to find his photos from “Earth from Above” on the map by Google.

A beautiful WWW is publishing views of Wikipedia where one image sums it up. This map is generated using information about each article (edit activity, links, etc.) The latest graph was done for the Science-related articles.

Greg Scott is really an impressive wild life photographer. His images of hummingbirds are simply astounding: clear, detailed, nicely framed and showing the bird in the most surprising positions.
I bow to this master!
