Playing around in photoshop, experimenting with new things...I kinda like this, but it definitely needs tweaking.
There has to be an experiment going on that they forgot to tell us about. Some test that we're unaware of but are supposed to pass. In the last year we've had a professional football team go winless, a mayor removed from office, our largest industry on life support and needing a government bailout, houses reduced to selling for 1 penny, Tiger Stadium was finally destroyed, the number of abandoned houses approached 100,000, unemployment was between 18 and 50% depending on who's statistics you looked at, a staggering estimated 30,000 homeless people ( determined by the post office ) , and Detroit's population decreased for the 52nd year in a row. Surely this is a bad joke, right?
Profession gardien de Zoo à mi-temps, il faut assurer le repas bi-hebdomadaire des tardigrades de l’expérience Cell Science 4 🔬. Les chercheurs étudient les effets de l’impesanteur et de l’environnement spatial sur ces créatures microscopiques qu’on surnomme parfois oursons d'eau. L’espèce la plus grande peut mesurer jusqu’à 1 mm de long, mais en général ils sont microscopiques… Ces créatures sont incroyablement résistantes, capables de survivre à des environnements extrêmes sur Terre comme dans l’espace : certains sont revenus de plusieurs jours à l’extérieur, dans le vide, avec des températures de +100 à -100 degrés, sans un dommage... Dans le cas de Cell Science 4, les scientifiques essayent d’identifier les gènes qui leur permettent de survivre durant des séjours plus ou moins longs dans l’espace, et d’évaluer comment l’utilisation de ces gènes change au cours des générations dans le but d’exploiter pour les humains les secrets de leur incroyable résilience !
Feeding the tardigrades! 🌱 Researchers are investigating the effects of microgravity on these microscopic creatures, also known as water bears, through an experiment called Cell Science 4🔬 #DYK the largest tardigrade species is just over 1mm in length and they're incredibly hardy – surviving extreme environments in space and on Earth. In this case, researchers want to characterise the genes that allow tardigrades to survive during short and long periods in space, then assess how the use of these genes changes across generations Maybe we can harness their secrets!

i am experimenting with a certain style of sbl mouth, after i fell in love with a YJ custom,....well, it isn't exactly what i wanted, though i am more or less happy with the results.
Still deciding about this girl's future (initially, my own sbl)

This experiment was an attempt to recreate the fluorescence of chromium activated corundum (aka 'ruby'). Aluminum hydroxide was mixed with 1-4 drops of Cr(III) oxide in a basic solution. This was placed on a small amount of aluminum sulfate in an aluminum foil container and a bit of water was added.
The sample was then heated, first with a propane torch until the water was removed and then with a MAPP gas torch until the aluminum sulfate expanded into foam, trapping the aluminum hydroxide which was calcined into aluminum oxide by the torch's flame. (at least that was the plan)
Shown also is a natural ruby from Mysore, India.

On dit que l'espace est un endroit dangereux, mais je pensais que les gants étaient censés nous protéger 🤔 Son talent d’acteur ferait presque oublier que Mark travaille en réalité sur une expérience appelée Ring Sheared Drop. Elle étudie la façon dont les amyloïdes - des dépôts protéiques fibreux et extracellulaires - se forment et se déplacent en impesanteur. Les amyloïdes sont associés à certaines maladies neurodégénératives comme Alzheimer, et on a besoin de mieux comprendre leurs mécanismes si on veut développer à terme des traitements 💊🏥

They say space is a dangerous place, but I thought that's why we wore gloves 🤔 In between the antics (that I instigated, don’t blame him), Mark is actually working on an experiment called Ring Sheared Drop, investigating how fibrous, extracellular protein deposits called amyloids form and flow in space. Amyloids are associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Knowing more about them could help scientists develop treatments 💊🏥

Technology image of the week:
A prototype version of a self-sustaining life-support system, intended to allow humans to live in space indefinitely, is seen in Spain’s University Autònoma of Barcelona.
This is the pilot plant of the international ESA-led Micro-Ecological Life Support System Alternative, or MELiSSA, a mini-ecosystem behind airtight glass.
Today, International Space Station crews must be resupplied from Earth, but such supply lines will become impractical as explorers venture farther out into space.
Instead, the 11-nation MELiSSA seeks to perfect a regenerative life-support system that could supply astronauts with all the oxygen, water and food they require.
The pilot plant hosts a multi-compartment loop with a light-powered bioreactor and a culture of oxygen-producing algae to keep ‘crews’ of three rats alive and comfortable for months at a time. While the algae yield oxygen and trap carbon dioxide, the rats do exactly the reverse.
A MELiSSA-based experiment is being run on the International Space Station. In May, experts will gather to discuss MELiSSA and closed-loop life support systems, along with topics such as air, water and waste recycling and food production.

CC: And you are sure this is going to work Doctor?...
Doctor: With this serum injected in his bloodstream, Flint will be at your command . He will be a killing machine with total loyalty to Cobra. We can't use him as a spy, his mind will have deteriorated like the Toxo-Zombies, but he can be used as a decal. The Joes will be ripped to shreds before they realise what a monster their former field commander has become....
CC: excellent work Doctor. If this experiment proves succesfull, we'll supply you with more specimens...
Here's another shot from my experiment with negative film. I woke up for sunrise at the North Shore and it was good, but the colors weren't as awesome as I was hoping. I took a few shots from other locations, but I think this is the best composition I had from that day because it emphasizes the palm trees a bit more than the others. This was right as the sun was rising from behind some low clouds and first started to light up the trees and water. Like the last Portra shot I posted, I had some difficulty getting the colors to look right, particularly the rocks and water.

The Proton Pagoda at Fermilab. Stacked from 101 20 second images
Opened in 1976, The proton Pagoda housed a control room for overseeing experiments in the Proton area.
The double helix staircase in the center of the structure was inspired by the structure of DNA.
LOTS more on the history of the Pagoda and the Proton Area on the Fermilab site.
Today I experimented a combination of things... This little bird was the result.
I used watercolors, white acrylic ink and carbon ink in a mixture of "styles"
Not my usual, I really do perfer taking pictures of pretty things. But I noticed this tiny ray of light across the studio floor and thought to myself what could I do with that tiny little ray of light and this is what I came up with... and I was just having a bit of fun with textures today!!! Off to watch some hockey be back later tonight to check up on all your amazing work!!
I'm always fascinated by what a difference lighting & colors can make. These are all pretty much the same shot, but each with totally different moods.
(I recommend zooming in to really see the differences in detail)
