This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
In their series ‘silent world’, paris-based, franco-german artistic duo Lucie & Simon use tricks of the photographic trade to render the world’s busiest cities free of cars and even people. Neutral density filters allow photographers to limit light entry without closing the aperture or increasing the shutter speed. the higher the F-stop reduction, the greater the effect, allowing for super-long exposures which make moving objects like people and cars essentially invisible, while only immobile structures remain. extremely high level filters are used by NASA to analyze star patterns. viait’s even more amazing once you read up on how they managed to do it too.
Silent World by Lucie & Simon have captured some of the world’s most populated cities completely devoid of any human activity.

I just love the fact that despite the innocence these common objects are often imbued with, all of the situations have a rather macabre tone to them!
