A runner blurs through a neon cityscape, captured by Duncan Rawlinson’s innovative lens in “Kinetic Pulse.” This piece thrusts viewers into the frenetic energy of a runner speeding through a vivid, neon-lit city. Using a blend of advanced photography and AI techniques, Rawlinson captures the athlete mid-stride, creating electrifying light trails that blur the boundary between human motion and the urban landscape. The wet streets mirror the dynamic colors, enhancing the sense of speed and intensity. This work pushes the envelope on visual perception, exploring the intersection of human endurance and urban vibrancy in a truly captivating manner.
In the Heelix Sector, the very nature of light is as fluid as the currents of an ocean, bending and swirling in mesmerizing patterns. This peculiar corner of the galaxy is a cosmic anomaly, a place where the usual rules of physics are draped in the surreal.
At the sector’s core, a binary system of a pulsar and a white hole—unimaginatively named Erebus and Aurora by the first explorers—defies expectations. Erebus, with its rhythmic pulsing, sends out gravitational waves that ripple through space, creating a symphony of gravity that twists the paths of photons. Aurora, its binary partner, acts as a source of repulsion, its exotic energy pushing against Erebus’s pull with equal might.
This interplay between the pulsar and the white hole is the brush that paints the skies of the Heelix Sector with light that curves and coils. The phenomenon is beautifully captured in these images, snapshots taken by autonomous drones designed to withstand the strange physics of this sector. The drones, equipped with sensors sensitive to the sector’s unique conditions, use an array of lenses and filters to capture the otherwise invisible curvature of light, turning them into visible spectacles.
The drones’ cameras capture the photons’ paths as they are pulled and pushed, revealing the ebb and flow of light as it traverses the Heelix Sector. The images depict a silent dance of luminance, with each swirl and curve a testament to the gravitational forces at play. The hues—shades of blues, oranges, and whites—are the result of the light’s frequency modulation as it weaves through the gravitational fields.
Observers often describe these images as visual music, a frozen rhapsody of light composed by the universe itself. The Heelix Sector, with its ballet of photons, has become a subject of intense study, promising to unlock new principles of physics.
The beings that inhabit the planets within the Heelix Sector have adapted to this radiant environment. Their vision perceives the curvature of light, allowing them to see their world in a spectrum of arcs and spirals. They have built their civilization in harmony with the visual wonders that surround them, their architecture flowing in natural synchronization with the cosmic loops and bends.
The photos offer a glimpse into the Heelix Sector’s unique beauty—a place where the usual linear journey of light is replaced with a grand voyage, charting a course through the gravitational symphony of two cosmic entities locked in an eternal dance. They stand as a visual feast, a reminder of the cosmos’ endless wonders, and a prompt to the endless possibilities that exist when the rules as we know them are rewritten by the universe’s hand.
In “Uncharted Tomorrow,” Duncan Rawlinson captures a future untethered by the traditional constraints of existence. This series is a visual odyssey into the realm of what could be, where the lines between humanity and the infinite possibilities of technology blur. Each image is a contemplation on the extension of life’s journey, reflecting on the potential for growth, transformation, and the discovery of new horizons in a world where limits are continuously redefined. It’s a narrative that dares to imagine the possibilities that emerge when we transcend our known boundaries.

In Duncan Rawlinson’s arresting capture, the sky over the illustrious Boldt Castle transforms into an astral canvas of radiant hues, under the spell of Independence Day fireworks. The castle, a timeless symbol of architectural grandeur, serves as the perfect backdrop to this incandescent spectacle, it’s spires reaching up as if trying to touch the stars born of fire.
The fireworks, meticulously choreographed by Majestic Fireworks, Inc., explode in a riot of colors, their reflections dancing on the river’s surface. They cast a fantastical glow that redefines the nighttime panorama, their fleeting brilliance captured in an eternity by the click of Rawlinson’s shutter.
Around the edges of the frame, silhouettes of boats pepper the landscape, their twinkling lights a terrestrial echo of the skyward spectacle. The presence of these vessels, some privately owned, others ferrying excited spectators from various tour companies, adds a human scale to the grandiosity of the scene, a testament to the collective awe inspired by the display.
The image, while a beautiful visual testament to the annual event sponsored by the Alexandria Bay Chamber of Commerce, serves as more than a keepsake. It is a tribute to the shared moments of celebration, the joy of freedom, and the vibrant community spirit of Independence Day. https://Duncan.co/july-4th-2023-fireworks-at-boldt-castle
