Being a Female, What is your Clothing Style?

20 Horrifying Examples of Natural Disaster Photography!
 
Over the recent years, I have posted various types of photography on my blog from high-speed photography to the fabulous technique of wave photography. But none of those techniques are as challenging as what I am about to share today. Since the past decade, we have seen a massive increase in natural disasters including earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and storms. However, capturing the distressing moments and terrified emotions associated with natural calamities is known as “Natural Disaster Photography”.

Natural disasters occur all over the place and demonstrate nature’s fury and rage on mankind. Many people attribute this changing environmental trend to global warming. To capture the terrifying and heartbreaking scenes of natural disasters is a challenging and courageous job for photographers as they put their lives in jeopardy.

The following 20 thrilling shots of natural disasters are taken from recent natural calamities including the Earthquakes in New Zealand, Chile and Haiti and the floods in Australia, Pakistan and India:

 

1. Enigmatic Earthquakes

    looking at those photos makes me realize more on the power of nature. I was once try to capture lightning but I failed. Is somebody here have some tips for me?

    Wow. Very hard to choose. So far, I am down to two most horrifying:

    1. The village in China devastated by earthquake, because so many people could be under the fallen houses, but there is no equipment or help anywhere in the picture. The two women look like they are amongst the dead and buried but don’t know what to do about it.

    2. The man in Russia who sits devastated with his back to the fire behind him. The fire seems so close and could come to him very quickly, but he looks like he doesn’t care.

    I also think the Montana Super-Cell Thunderstorm looks like something horrible from another planet. If I saw it there and it was moving in my direction, I would run away from it faster than anyone in the olympics. I can only imagine what the Native Americans there several hundred years ago might have thought if they saw that coming towards them.

    while we human think we are the owners of the earth and we can do whatever damage we want to it, these pictures really show who’s the Boss….

    Well, they are all great photos, but are all fairly horrifying, My heart goes out too the goats stranded on 2 dirt mounds in Bihar Floods. Also, on a side note, I’m sure many images from the Japan earthquake/tsunami/floods… my heart goes out to them right now.

    Hi,

    Awesome snaps!

    Are these photos original or Photo prints online?

    These pics can be used in an awareness program of the disasters.

    Thanks for posting

    Such a great photographer and very brave! I salute you! I think the most horrifying part is the Supercell. It’s like a vacuum ready to pull me into another timezone..scary!

    But great photos, that’s for sure.

    Personally, the one I find the most horrifying is the first one.

    I live in Christchurch, New Zealand and am currently living in a natural disaster zone. We are still getting aftershocks, in multiples daily. On 22/02/2011 I was in my school’s building in Worcester St, and had just arrived to my classroom at 12:45pm - 7 minutes before the 6.3M earthquake hit. I escaped with no injuries, and was evacuated to the nearest park - Latimer Square.

    At Latimer Square, I was shaken to see the remnants of the CTV Building (incorrectly stated above) nearby, knowing that that building at any given time during the average workday is full of people. A large amount of our 163 fatalities were from that one building alone.

    I was fortunate to not have lost anyone on that date, but know quite a few people that did. The youngest fatality was only 6 weeks old.

    Rest in Peace.
