This video by Sean Stiegemeier is beyond awesome. Long after everyone forgets the volcano that no one could pronounce, I’ll still be drooling over these slow-pans through barren Nordic landscapes. Of course, it helps that the natural geography of Iceland is like something out of a Terry Brooks novel turned up to eleven, even without the fissure in the earth spitting up never-ending plumes of sulphur and ash. You could point your camera at pretty much anything up there and walk away with a cinematic epic.
Not since the Back to the Future II have I wanted something to be true so badly, but despite how legitimate this photo may appear, X-wings are not real… yet. French photographer Cédric Delsaux is doing a damn good job getting my hopes up with his project the Dark Lens. It’s a series of photographs that juxtaposes iconic and fantastical characters and vehicles of the Star Wars saga against the only slightly less fantastical backdrop of a burgeoning Dubai.
And it is awesome. More photos and after the jump.
