The furry face of a bee, the rainbow hues of a flounder, the luminous beams of traffic lights—Nat Geo Explorer and photographer Anand Varma explains the innovative techniques that help us “see the world anew.”
Photographs can capture multiple moments in time, such as this image of traffic lights shot with a long exposure on a foggy night near Weimar, Germany.of becoming a marine biologist and living my life by the sea. Since I grew up in a landlocked suburb of Atlanta, I lived out this fantasy by setting up aquariums at home. At 14, I started working at my neighborhood aquarium shop. By 16, I had seven fish tanks at home.
Years after that project in Hawaii, I was snorkeling at night on a shallow reef in French Polynesia. Out of the darkness, another baby flounder emerged and settled on my mask. This time I knew what to look for. I angled my flashlight toward the little fish and saw the shimmering colors and delicate bones that David’s image had first revealed to me.
The hairy face of a honeybee is sharply defined thanks to focus stacking, a photographic technique in which similar photos with different focal planes are blended to achieve a more profound depth of field.The bee’s position allowed me to bring my camera close and capture features on its head I hadn’t noticed before, like its jointed antennae and furry face. I’d spent a year tending to my hive—but until that moment I’d never experienced a bee this way.
Aerial photographs, such as this view of crabeater seals resting on and swimming near an iceberg in Antarctica’s Errera Channel, provide new perspectives.see how fog transforms traffic signal beams in Lucas Zimmermann’s long exposure. Every photograph is a collaboration with light. Photographers position light in clever ways or manipulate it to reveal hidden patterns. Using cameras’ capacities to detect colors invisible to the human eye, they broaden our sensory experience.
