Awesome photo…

Architecture and nature combine to create this amazing image of Norway’s Storseisundet Bridge. From this perspective, the bridge contorts at an almost surreal angle connecting two land masses together, while overlooking a beautiful mountain range.

A brilliant combination of technologies, makes for one very stable system, worth watching the video to see how well it performs…

The Japan Broadcasting Corporation, or NHK, has developed a camera-carrying balloon capable of steady aerial shots that would previously have been done from a crane. The helium-filled balloon, which can rise to heights of 300 meters but would likely operate at 30 to 50 meters, is attached to a four-axis gimbal that keeps the camera steady even when the balloon moves. Unlike a crane, the balloon is relatively cheap to produce and doesn’t require a permit or large setup space. This means that it could be used to provide bird’s-eye views of events that cranes couldn’t reach, or new shots at things like sporting events.

Alex Thomson Walks the Hugo Boss Keel

That is one seriously impressive stunt…

At first glance I was skeptical about this photograph but after further investigation I found this whole story to be completely captivating…and insane! Alex Thomson is a talented sailor from Britain. In this photograph, dressed in his most fashionable Hugo Boss attire, he performed a risky stunt that most people would never dream of doing.

The video is well worth a look too, via My Modern Metropolis.
