Hi
Been trying to contact the high speed photography guy to see if he will let me use the fish in exploding bowl photo.
Not had any luck.
Anybody got any suggestions?

Good stuff. I think a design perspective is better then looking for inspiration. Trying to look at the everyday world as a design should be the goal. Inspiration will follow.

Hey, Great selection, and I really like your site. However, I feel like I must make a remark about this post. in the “A Different Perspective” section you are completely wrong in the way that you have worded things.
The first duck shot with roughly a 35mm lens which gives something pretty close to a perspective(as in a view composed out of converging parallel lines – see wikipedia for “perspective”). On the other hand, the second duck was shot dead on with a telephoto or maybe even a macro lens which have almost no distortion. In this case, the second picture is the furthest thing from a conventional perspective. In fact it is almost am elevation/projection.
I think your intent is still clear. The second image is defiantly more appealing, but that is simply due to a better quality of photography, which is of course crucial in any design.

Interesting article. You might, however, want to link to your sources. One of the images you’re using is mine, and i’d appreciate at least a link to my website. Shoot me an e-mail, please. Thanks.
