messing around with some strange app called 'hipstomatic'. mum won't stop singing it's praises, I'd rather have my normal camera tbh. but the battery went on that :/ this picture is weird, opinions pleaseeee:)

Profession gardien de Zoo ร mi-temps, il faut assurer le repas bi-hebdomadaire des tardigrades de lโexpรฉrience Cell Science 4 ๐ฌ. Les chercheurs รฉtudient les effets de lโimpesanteur et de lโenvironnement spatial sur ces crรฉatures microscopiques quโon surnomme parfois oursons d'eau. Lโespรจce la plus grande peut mesurer jusquโร 1 mm de long, mais en gรฉnรฉral ils sont microscopiquesโฆ Ces crรฉatures sont incroyablement rรฉsistantes, capables de survivre ร des environnements extrรชmes sur Terre comme dans lโespace : certains sont revenus de plusieurs jours ร lโextรฉrieur, dans le vide, avec des tempรฉratures de +100 ร -100 degrรฉs, sans un dommage... Dans le cas de Cell Science 4, les scientifiques essayent dโidentifier les gรจnes qui leur permettent de survivre durant des sรฉjours plus ou moins longs dans lโespace, et dโรฉvaluer comment lโutilisation de ces gรจnes change au cours des gรฉnรฉrations dans le but dโexploiter pour les humains les secrets de leur incroyable rรฉsilience !
Feeding the tardigrades! ๐ฑ Researchers are investigating the effects of microgravity on these microscopic creatures, also known as water bears, through an experiment called Cell Science 4๐ฌ #DYK the largest tardigrade species is just over 1mm in length and they're incredibly hardy โ 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!

Both of my kids helped me get this one :) They had fun moving the light and my 6-year-old's face to help get a better lighting situation.
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?
FOV: 6" wide.
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.

18 Watt Triple Output UV lamp from Polman Minerals - Way Too Cool UV lamps
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 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)
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...
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.
