Talk to the Guy Who Made these Surreal Solarized Shots of Paradise

By Seth Porges

Reading time 1 minute

Solarisation: The photography trick guaranteed to make mundane shots look like dreamscapes, everyday folks look like phantasms, and these shots of surfers and bikers in Costa Rica by Scott Rinckenberger look extra-extreme.

Scott took his trip down to Costa Rica for the sand-filled sixth and final installment of Gizmodo’s Intel-Inspired Ultrabook™ Shooting Challenge. So crank up “Black Hole Sun” and flip through his shots from the beaches and jungles of Costa Rica. Then head over to Gizmodo and ask him anything you want to know about his arresting shots, his trip to Costa Rica, or how his ultra-responsive Ultrabook™ helped him achieve his vision. (Tip to get you started: Before Scott was a pro photographer, he was a pro skier).
