The Top 10 Iconic Video Game Weapons

7 Famous Street Performers and Where to Spot Them

Everyone knows the postcard-worthy landmarks in their city, but ever think that people could be some of the most exciting and sought-after tourist sights around town? Street performers are an integral part of any urban landscape; they offer social commentary, perform impressive stunts, add cultural flavor, and create some pretty hysterical photo-ops!

The 15 Best Pictures of Christina Hendricks

I’m breaking a lot of my own rules by writing this post as we try to steer away from “hot chicks for hot chicks’ sake” galleries here unless they’re wearing Pikachu or Chun Li costumes or something, but I have to make an exception for Christina Hendricks. What can I say? The woman has magical powers. I also wrote this post because unlike the legions of supermodels and actresses out there who have done dozens of photoshoots over their careers, Hendricks has done relatively few, and therefore there ain’t a whole lot of professional pictures that exist of her outside of three or so magazines and a few awards ceremonies, and I wanted to put the best ones all in one place for your viewing pleasure. I’m hoping Maxim or Stuff or FHM will read this, and stop calling Heidi Montag and do shoots of a REAL woman like Hendricks, who is destroying notions of ideal body types with her logic-defying curves. Also, she needs more movie and TV roles outside of Mad Men.

18 Awesome Examples Of Action Photography

In action photography timing is a key element. If you shoot at the right moment (actually, just a beat before, to give the camera time to react), you’ll get a better shot than if you miss the moment. It is also recommended that don’t allow yourself to get frustrated if it doesn’t come easily. You might need more practice and time to perfect the technique. That’s okay, especially if you are shooting digitally. Just delete the frames you don’t want. Experiment. Play with it. Practice with cars driving down the street or kids at a soccer game. It will be an accomplishment when you snap your first perfect action shot. Then it’s only a matter of time before you are getting them consistently.
