NAPP Pharma, Cambridge Science Park, Cambridge, 13 Jun 2020
The biggest and best of the early Science Park buildings, built 1980-1983 to a design by Canadian Arthur Erickson.
Pevsner comments 'this type of linear, ground-hugging building-as-extruded-machine was a fruitful North American type in the 1970s not widely imitated in Britain'.
A 7 shot HDR of the Science park in Valencia, Spain. Showing L'Hemisfèric (Imax Cinema, Planetarium and Laserium), El Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe (Science museum) and L'Oceanogràfic (Open-air oceanographic park). Processed in Photomatix followed by a few selective adjustments in photoshop.
Comments and criticism welcome.
Many of our summer activities are connected to playgrounds as the children are at that age where playgrounds still provide activities. One thing Aura loves to do is, of course, swinging, and in today's picture she is swinging with her friend Linnea (at the front). If you have children of your own and they like to swing, you certainly know how unbelievable hard it is to photograph a swinging child. First of all, the swing itself is often challenging to approach with camera because of its physical shape. No matter what angle you take, it often produces certain kind of leading lines which are distracting one way or another. Which looks, at first, a simple shape, turns out to be something very different as it seems to ruin any compositional approach what photographer can come up with. And if you solve this compositional mystery somehow with luck, there's of course the swinging movement which makes any further approaches downright impossible as the subject keeps on moving back and forth, and effectively changes the composition all the time. On top of this the back and forth swinging also introduces technical problems as it is not given at all that the camera's autofocus can track it and deliver sharp pictures even if you manage to solve those earlier problems. Like I said, it's surprisingly difficult subject to photograph which has surely bemused me.
But here's one way to solve this which includes the use of Batis 2/25 electronic depth of field scale (though this method can be reproduced with any lens that has some sort of depth of field scale). To get rid of compositional problems I wanted to get real close to Aura and Linnea with this picture, and effectively cut out the distracting structures of the swing it itself. I also wanted to use zone focusing for this picture, because that way I could forget focus locks, points, trackings and all that AF-stuff, and concentrate on a situation itself. So I switched to manual focus mode, chose aperture of f/8 and put the sensitivity to 800 to be able to freeze the moment with high shutter speed (1/1600 sec in this case). Then I used the Batis oled-display to set my focus point to 1,0 meter, which gave me 46cm deep depth of field. Using the electronic depth of field display and its digits it is very to dial in relatively precise depth of field. Then knowing that my focus point was at 1.0 meter and depth of field approximately 23 cm front and back of that point, I just pointed the girls when they came up within that distance and shot with rapid fire to capture as much as I could. Going up close with this method is ridiculously easy as I could, at the same time, play with the girls and still get nicely focused shots. In the matter of fact, I made them laugh by playing that I couldn't look their swinging as they were swinging so wildly (not really). Within this play I covered my eyes with the other hand as I shot short rapid burst with the other – something I couldn't have done if I had worked with autofocus. Zone focusing is, in the case of swinging, much more effective method than any autofocus could ever be, and it reminds, at least me, that not everything is something that needs to be solved by 'better technology'. Very happy with this picture as it seems to catch the spirit of the moment so nicely.

19.2.21... another day, another homeschool science experiment! so far we've made salt crystals, used up half a jar of oil on a lava lamp, grown a hyacinth bulb, investigated viscosity, and today we made pretty colours with skittles! lol.

As a science teacher back to school = back to work. I wanted to do a picture of a single tear in the corner of my eye reflecting my sorrow at the demise of summer. Unfortunatly I could not manage a single tear and anyway I could not hold the camera steady through the sobs.
Oh well back to seeing the world through test tubes and kids.
bye sunshine (hi Duna). 5.8km descending at 5m/s we have 2h 37m of battery life so no worries on lack of solar power
Model: Michelle Ivanovich (Model Mayhem #1896057)
Location: Stanford University, Palo Alto, California
We visited the Seattle Science Center partly to escape from the blazing hot sunshine (it was over 30 degrees C) and partly to get the kids doing some hands on stuff for a while before having a tour around.
The Science Center was built for the World Fair and everything is still delightfully 1960s!

This week the 'outer space team' on the International Space Station spent a record breaking 82+ hours of space science for new technologies on Earth.
Haben diese Woche den ISS Rekord gebrochen und mehr als 82 Std mit Weltraumexperimenten verbracht – für neue Technologien auf der Erde.

Computing Sciences hosted 14 local high school students as part of an outreach program to introduce students to various career options in scientific computing and networking. The sessions include presentations, hands-on activities, and tours of facilities. The program was developed with input from computer science teachers at Berkeley High, Albany High, Richmond's Kennedy High, and Oakland Tech. Computing Staff present a wide range of topics including assembling a desktop computer, cyber security war stories, algorithms for combustion and astrophysics and the role of applied math.

A wet and muddy morning and a few mills. An early start with a short drive to explore with Martyn, Camerashy - uk and MkWil.
Tone Mills is a complete water-powered cloth finishing works, established by the Fox Brothers and Co at the confluence of the River Tone and the Back Stream and dates from 1830. The remains of the water wheel remain in-situ and so too do all the line shafting and gearing. The Mill later had an electric motor installed to supplement the water-wheel during times of drought, although the water wheel continued to be used for many decades after. Put simply the mill comprises of a number of key areas to accommodate the various stages of production: A Fulling area, where wet cloth was dried, scoured, cleaned and milled to the desired finish. A dying room, adjacent to the fulling area which specialised in producing an indigo colouring. Reservoirs and Sluice gates, to manage the flow of water into the wheel chamber. The wheel chamber and a later power house.
The associated machinery for all the stages of production are all in-situ, making it an industrial archaeologists paradise.
The works finally closed in 2000 and production was moved to a more contemporary location. The buildings and machinery are Grade II* listed.
