The Photography of Carey Quinton Haider

Carey Quinton Haider is a badass photographer whose photos reflect his fast and fun lifestyle. He grew up in his dad’s motorcycle repair shop in Oregon, going for rides whenever the rain would die off. His two true loves are photography and motorcycles, add a few firing hot babes, a rock n roll show, and a skateboard or two and you have the radical work of Carey Haider. Check out his tumblr here and some of MindTai’s favorites below.

Fabian Oefner // Black Hole


Swiss photographer Fabian Oefner has created some amazing high-speed shots of paint being shot in all directions by centripetal force. By placing the paint on a rod attached to a drill, and using a sensor to trigger flashes as short as 1/40,000 of a second, he snaps pictures only a millisecond later after it was turned on. This project and series of photos were titled Black Hole, watch the video below to see how it all went down.

World’s First Underwater Nuclear Explosion


In in 1946, the United States conducted a series of nuclear weapon tests at Bikini Atoll in what’s known as Operation Crossroads. A total of two bombs were detonated to test the effects nuclear blasts had on naval warships. The second, named Baker, was the world’s first nuke to be detonated underwater. Due to the unique properties of underwater explosions, the Baker test produced a number of unique photographs that the world had never seen before. The blast lifted two million tons of water and sand into the air, creating a column 6,000 feet tall, 2,000 feet wide, and with walls 300 feet thick.
