The School of Sciences at Stevenson University hosted a research poster session on January 16, 2014 to display the work students did on their various topics. Students, faculty, staff and visitors were able to see the great work Stevenson's students do to further their education

Description: Example of Feynman diagram. The American physicist Richard Feynman invented this kind of diagram for his personal use in the late 1940s, in order to facilitate vectorial calculus in quantum electrodynamics.

This photo is taken from the 4.0 metre Mayall Telescope building - the largest one on the mountain.
I never actually observed here, but I did spend several hours on the mountain after dark. I was attending an astronomy conference in Tucson, and there was a day trip organised to tour the observatory. We spent the better part of the day here, but when it was time to leave our bus took an overly ambitious hairpin turn on one these narrow roads and got wedged on the road, with the middle of the bus on the road and the wheels suspended. We had to get a crane sent up the mountain to lift the bus free, which took several hours.
In the meantime, night fell, and it got cold really quickly. We took shelter in the astronomer's dining/recreation building while the observers for the evening got down to work. I spent much of the time explaining cricket to some American astronomers. :-)
This one will not appeal to anybody accept me, it is of an exhibit in the London Science Museum and it really caught my eye, the colours and depth are something my poor little compact just couldn't do justice too.
July construction progress on the Powerhouse Science Center.

Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture’s design for the Powerhouse Science Center re-envisions a historic riverfront structure as a hub for science education, exploration and promotion in the City of Sacramento. On the banks of the Sacramento River, the Science Center grows out from an abandoned power station building. As a principal component of the Riverfront activation, the Powerhouse Science Center anchors Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park and borders the southern terminus of the 32-mile American River Bike Trail.
Vacant for over half a century, the structure undergoes a complete historic rehabilitation and the construction of a new floor level inside. A new two-story addition projects from the east side, containing a lobby, classrooms, offices and a cafe. A 110-seat planetarium is prominently on display with a zinc-clad hemispheric dome rising above the building’s mass. As representation of our place in the universe, the facade and building mass is sectioned by multiple planes, creating continuous vector lines that extend across the building and site. From satellites to world landmarks, the lines form connections with local and global points of interest.
The original PG&E Power Station B was designed in 1912 in the Beaux Arts Style by architect Willis Polk and was formally closed in 1954. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historic Places and the Sacramento Register of Historic & Cultural Resources. The Powerhouse Science Center is designed to achieve a USGBC LEED Rating of Silver.

Photographed using a Sony NEX 5N using a Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5 lens.
I took this photography for the University of Trois-Rivières. I used 1 flash for this photography and a long exposure for seek the light behind my subject. i have shoot 1/30 of speed F: 4 of apperture at 400 iso.
SETTING: Environmental Sciences Building, Thurgoona Campus, Charles Sturt University, Albury NSW Australia
FILM: Agfa Vista 135 —200 ASA 36 exp.; expiry Jan 2009.—Development by commercial lab. —Scanned on Epson V700.—Post-processing with SIlverEfex in CS3.
BEST VIEWED ON BLACK (click on image)
manufactured by Panon, about 1980; body sn#348914 lens sn# 467879
(Trial of second hand unit on loan from vendor)
SETTINGS:
f/8 @ 1/15th sec.— camera set on banister surface.—(roll 1, frame 21)
COMMENTS:
A consistent problem with each frame is that the images have an identical sized out-of focus area at the left margin of the negative. It seems that the lens turret is out of alignment or focus when it starts up. If the turret were just slow to start up, then the area would be overexposed (a common problem to many older Krasnogorsk FT-2 and Horizon cameras), and the phenomenon would be expressed differently at changed shutter speeds. See video of turret turning at 1/250th and 1/15 speed.
In addition, the camera exhibits strong banding at 1/125h speed due to uneven gear movement. The banding is absent at 1/15th (see above and here) and very limited at 1/250th.
The view angle of the 26mm lens in the F7 is 126º horizontally and 55º vertically; the lens seems to be sharpest at f/8. Shooting 1/15th hand-held seems possible with a steady hand, but results in soft images due to minor focus jitters (in my hands ay least). In addition, long exposures, coupled with the wide angle, mean that people are caught moving through the frame

[embiggen] Originally established in 1951, the California Science Center recently underwent a redesign, adding this beautifully covered plaza outside the main entrance, and also tacking on an IMAX theater. At 7 stories high, it's currently the biggest IMAX screen in Los Angeles.
Admission to the museum is donation-based, so if you're in LA and haven't been, get off your duff and go!
