Hacking Photography - one Picture at a time
They do say never to work with animals. News reporter Alvin Patterson Kaunda was left collapsed in laughter when a baby elephant stole the show ‘kissing’ him on the lips live on camera.
Kaunda was recording for KBC Television in Kenya and standing close to a herd of elephants. As he spoke about orphaned elephants and the importance of wildlife protection, a young elephant named Kindani kept bumping into him. A true professional, however, Kaunda remained unfazed and continued to speak.
When someone mentions photobombing, I usually think of those annoying friends who ruin every shot. However, some photobombs can actually be pretty cool (I mean, just check this owl and this crow).
But it’s not only animals that make the best photobombs. Aurora Chasers’ Alaska Aurora Cam recently captured a Chinese rocket in the middle of filming aurora borealis. The lucky incident ended in a pretty epic video, with the team also explaining what happened.
Animals photobombing photos and videos are one of my favorite things ever. It can be more or less cute, but it’s always funny without a doubt.
Recently, a curious owl got into the center of attention after photobombing KRTV News’ weather camera. The video quickly went viral, and how could it not: it’s cute, it’s funny, and there’s an owl in it – everything you need!
Have you ever tried to take a photo or video only to have someone photobomb you and ruin the moment? This happened to a couple in Australia, but rather than having their annoying friends ruin the shot, it was two seagulls. And instead of ruining it, they actually made it a lot better and completely hilarious.
At the recent Unpacked event, Samsung introduced an AI-powered feature resembling Photoshop’s Content-Aware Fill tool. It’s called Object Eraser, and it will let you delete unwanted people from your photos in two clicks.
Has it ever happened to you to eagerly wait for the perfect moment to capture only to have it photobombed? This is exactly what happened to dozens of Harry Potter fans this Monday. They were anxiously waiting for the Hogwarts Express steam train to pass through a station, having their cameras prepared – only to have their shots photobombed by a local commuter train. Hilarious for some and disappointing for others, the moment was captured in a video by one of the observers.
Photobombs can be the most annoying or the most hilarious thing. I especially love it when animals photobomb humans. This photobomb that interrupted KTVU’s weather report is funny as hell and so darn cute! What seems to be huge crow has photobombed the camera in the middle of the report and made the TV crew have a good laugh.
Photobombing can end up with some hilarious photos and videos. However, if it ruins your once-in-a-lifetime shot, I don’t think you’d feel like laughing. This is precisely what happened to a camera guy from The Weather Channel while he was shooting Georgia Dome’s implosion yesterday. And it’s sad and hilarious at the same time.
Being a maid of honor is a big privilege and carries great responsibility. Sharilyn Wester performed her duty and made her best friend’s wedding photos unforgettable.
While Rebecca Foster and her husband James did the wedding photoshoot, Sharilyn proposed to take some photos where she’ll be tossing the bride’s veil. Photographer Ashley Hempel agreed, and in no time, Sharilyn took her task. But it turned out her and the bride had a different idea in mind, and Sharylin started acting so goofy, that both the groom and the photographer were caught by surprise.
Shooting portraits on location has become very popular over the last few years. Since the demise of train tracks and caution tape, rural middle of nowhere locations now seem to be the go to. They’re much safer, and often far more beautiful. Occasionally, you might see some wildlife. In fact, just last week during a shoot at a nearby river, we were briefly approached by wild deer. Sometimes, you might see something else.
Something else is exactly what photographer Elena Nesbitt and Jillian Henry saw during a recent senior shoot. The seventeen year old Henry was standing in the Willamette River when a naked dogwalker suddenly wandered into the frame. After Henry posted the photos to Twitter, the Internet soon picked up on them.
