Shot for Macro Mondays "Frustrations"
What I find frustrating is the continued dumping of electronic goods into our landfills. Electronic devices are filled full of lead, mercury, cadmium and other heavy metals. Fortunately in Alberta we have a province run recycling program for monitors computers and printers. Yet there are thousands of other devices with chips in them as well. These don't get recycled.
Even more frustrating are the "Recycling companies" that end of shipping the majority of the e-waste to developing nations where they cause even more damage than they would in our landifills. Very sad stuff if you've ever seen the documentaries.
Such a wasteful society we have. Don't feel too bad though, I'm just as guilty of producing my share of pollution. The cost of modern living I suppose.
Shot Info:
50MM prime lens with a 32MM extension tube. SB-600 shot at 1/64th directly behind. Triggered with the CT-301P wireless trigger.
“being aware of what your thought process is, is already enough to short-circuit the algorithm which was always sending you into depression. You’re sort of stuck inside the system of the way you’re thinking. What C.B.T. often helps you to do is to take a step up and look at the way that thought process is happening and understand the trigger which always sends you down into depression.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_du_Sautoy

In-phone, 6 shot panorama stitch
The Ittiam Panorama algorithm for Mobile and Cellphone cameras, Smartphones and Tablets performs multi-shot combinations up to a 360 degree view. It uses intelligent image registration, intensity /white balance correction, optimal seam selection and blending methods to obtain high quality panorama images. The Panorama algorithm is part of Ittiam's Imaging SDK. The photograph was taken using an Android camera application based on Ittiam's Imaging SDK. All processing for this photograph was done in phone, unless explicitly noted.

Facebook Algorithmic Factory sheds light on the invisible processes that take place inside the world’s largest social network. Inside this black box, non-transparent algorithms are deciding what kind of content will become a part of our reality, what will be censored or deleted, which ideas will spread and what news will gain most visibility. They are also defining new forms of labour and exploitation.

"The Big Egg Hunt is a plan hatched by Elephant Family and Action for Children for a record-breaking egg hunt across Central London to raise money for these two egg-cellent causes!
Over 200 uniquely crafted eggs, created by leading artists, designers, architects and jewellers, are be hidden across the capital"

Al-Khwārizmī was born in Khiva and lived in Persia in the year 800s, he was a mathematician most famous for coming up with the concept of "algorithm" which, as you may notice now, was coined after his name.

What if every human could have their own personal scent?
In Algorithmic Perfumery, the world of scent is explored by using the visitor's input to train the creative capabilities of an automated system. Custom scents are created by a machine learning algorithm based on the unique data we feed it. The outcome is a unique scent generated and compounded on-site. By participating in the experience, visitors contribute to the on-going research to improve the system and reinvent the future of perfumery.

Handheld, iPhone5
In-phone, 3 exposure combination
Dramatic mode
The Ittiam High Dynamic Range (HDR) algorithm for Mobile and Cellphone cameras, Smartphones and Tablets intelligently selects the exposures of the constituent images and combines the details using advanced de-noising, anti-ghosting and tone mapping techniques to obtain high quality HDR images. The HDR algorithm is part of Ittiam's Imaging SDK. The photograph was taken using an iPhone5 application based on Ittiam's Imaging SDK. All processing for this photograph was done in phone, unless explicitly noted.
