Capturing Photos Inside a Wave by Clark Little
Photos by Clark Little
Photographer Clark Little is incredible at capturing photos inside some of pretty fierce waves. In fact, some of his photos were shot by diving head first into some of the world's largest waves, and he's not stopping.
Little started out as a surfer lover on the North Shore of the Hawaiian island of Oahu. After wanting a good photo of a wave for his home, he ventured out into the ocean to capture it himself, and the rest is history. Now he conquers the big surf with nothing more than flippers and a camera, and his work has reached audiences around the world.
The photos really just speak for themselves, they are crisp, dangerous, refreshing, all natural and just beautiful. Check out some of our favorites below, and be sure to follow his Instagram here. Also check out this very intriguing interview, and tag-along with Vice here.

Spectacular Photos of Erupting Volcano in Chile
Photos by Francisco Negroni
Since June 4th, 2011, the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano in central Chile started erupting and has continued to this day. Although its activity has already decreased significantly, the eruption brought much turmoil to the lives of hundreds of families and to ecosystems in Chile, Argentina and Uruguay. Yet in the midst of chaos Chilean photographer Francisco Negroni managed to capture the volcano as a magnificent work of art from the depths of earth. It's spewing lava looks like dazzling sparks of fireworks, the smoke flows majestically into the air, and the colors are vibrant and plentiful.
As each photo looks easy on the eye, it was far from easy to shoot. Negroni was hardly even a mile away from the center of the eruption from multiple points of view. Yet somehow, despite his fear and ambivalence, he was able to document a once-in-a-lifetime experience of nature's naturally occurring activity.
Check out the following photos and let it be an educational reminder of what lies under our feet and in the deep depths of earth.

Dreary Photos of Calcified Birds in African Lake
Photos by Nick Brandt
Imagine a lake so acidic that it will calcify your body at first touch. Lake Natron in Tanzania does just that at certain times of the year. This shallow, volcano surrounded lake creates high concentrations of salt, various minerals, and most importantly sodium carbonate (natron) leaving a seasonal and dangerously high evaporation rate. Science talk aside, it is nicknamed "The Lake of Death" because the environment is quite peculiar, unsafe, and scarce in wild life.
Photographer Nick Brandt found a rather ghastly scene off these shores when he captured the unfortunate demise of birds and bat that had been dried and calcified at the lake's touch. It's hard to even believe that these photos are of real animals rather than of statues or sculptures. Check out these dark yet beautifully captured images.
