The Big Picture is the Boston Globe’s photo blog and the content is usually stunning. The latest update is about the wet and dry 2009 Formula 1 season and has amazing photographs of the latest race in Bahrain, like the one above and this action shot of Hamilton.

Make sure you grab the RSS feed. Whenever the blog is updated, be prepared to lose a lot of time looking through the superb photography.

This month’s Esquire cover features the lovely Megan Fox. What’s unique about the photo is the camera used to take it: the Red ONE.

Greg Williams, the photographer, in his own words:

“It allowed her to act,” Williams says. “She could run scenes without being reminded by the sound of a shutter every four seconds that I was taking a picture. As in still photography, a lot of it is capturing unexpected moments. This takes that one step further.”

Is this crossover the start of something new? Will photographers be encouraged to use new digital cameras like Red? Isn’t it exciting when new technology crosses over old barriers, when these tools are used beyond what their creators intended?

There’s more on the Esquire site including a live cover photograph!
