Lively Pictures of Ocean during Powerful Storms
The New York Based Photographer Dalton Portella capture a beautiful
collection of dramatic seascapes depicts the striking power of nature as it
collides with the fine art of photography. Created by Montauk, the images are
filled with a painterly quality that shows the powerful force of the ocean
during stormy weather. The beautiful dark ominous clouds and streaks of powerful
lightning fill the sky while layers of texture blend sea and atmosphere
together into one brightly colored palette.
As each storm rolls in, the ocean moves with violent force to make waves
that curl up and crash down again in an instant. Dalton Portella took those electrifying
moments with a single snap of his shutter. The viewers will almost feel the
mist of the ocean water spraying up during the air. Dalton Portella says; I
know with my art, I can capture essence; the essence of places I have been,
emotions I have felt, and the subjects I paint and photograph. I portray the
broad range of the human experience.

The Twelve Apostles is a collection of limestone stacks off the shore of the Port Campbell National Park,
Australian The Twelve Apostles is
a collection of limestone stacks off the shore of the Port Campbell National
Park, by the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. Their proximity to one
another has made the site a widespread visitor attraction. Presently there’re
eight apostles left but the name remains important and remarkable especially in
the Australian tourism industry. The apostles were formed by erosion due to the
harsh and extreme weather conditions from the Southern Ocean gradually eroded
the soft limestone to form caves in the cliffs, which then became arches, which
in turn collapsed; leaving rock stacks up to 45 metres high. Now because of
this erosion there’re less than ten remaining.

Old Man of Storr, Isle of Skye, Scotland
There have been a
sprinkle of snow the night before, I was it had been more than that. The hillside
looked a bit dirty with this entire dark green surface protruding through the
snow. Yet, I decided to head up to the top as there was some interesting cloud
formation lingering above the sea. In the first look I didn’t like the image in
color and thought of shooting it with black & white in mind. All this was
going to change as I saw the file on the large 27” screen, it looked much
better in color, although there was not much color in it. The color version
brings out the mood of the place in a much better way.
An extraterrestrial spacecraft lurking in a satellite’s orbit nearby Earth would be able to see city lights and pollution in our atmosphere. But what if it searched for signs of life on Earth from afar
An
extraterrestrial spacecraft lurking in a satellite’s orbit nearby Earth would
be able to see city lights and pollution in our atmosphere. But what if it
searched for signs of life on Earth from afar? This question has great
pertinence to those searching for other Earths outside of our solar system.
NASA’s Keppler space telescope is among a fleet of telescopes and spacecraft
searching for rocky planets alike to our own. Once the size and location of
these worlds are plotted, the next step is examining the chemical composition
of their atmospheres.
