But a whole fetishism has grown up around the technique of photography. Technique should be so conceived and adapted as to induce a way of seeing things, preferably in essentials, excluding the effects of gratuitous virtuosity and other ineptitudes. Technique is important in that we have to master it, but it is the result that counts.

Schrodinger's cat is a famous theoretical thought experiment in quantum physics
If even remotely interested......
There's something called The Copenhagen Interpretation that posits that "things" at the subatomic level don't have any determined properties, only possibilities. A particle can be in two places at the same time, the atom can be in both an excited and unexcited state at the same time, and a photon can be both a particle and a wave.
What determines what we see is our measurement and observation,
Then all the probabilities collapse into one, the one being observed.
Schrodinger wasn't a fan of that theory, so he devised a thought experiment to show how absurd it would be to apply to the gross world of stuff.
He said imagine we put a cat in a box. Also in the box is a radioactive particle which might, or might not begin to decay and emit radiation. If it does, there's a gieger counter which will trigger the release of a noxious gas that will kill the cat.
Then we put a lid on the box.
But until someone opens the box, the cat is both alive and dead.
That's hugely oversimplified, but it's the layman's gist.
This little cat was sitting under a curb on a recessed sewer grate.
So,, is it coming or going or both?
I'm happy to say it was alive. ;-))
Dutch marbles aren't obeying boring rules of physics.
They defy vertical gravity and prefer being pushed up the steep angled slope.

The rock is over 40 ft tall just for scale. Big Sur being magnificent one summer afternoon a few years ago.
A 4:30am alarm with a quick stop at the Dunkin drive-thru got me to the New Jersey Festival of Ballooning in time to experience what it takes to unfurl, inflate and fly a hot air balloon. It's been years since I've done this and it was a beautiful morning to be amongst all the dedication and skill these crews have.
On another note, felt like it was time to update my profile pic. As much as I liked the old one, it looked more like a high school yearbook pic at this point. Lol!
The Physics Department of Canterbury College, which later became the University of Canterbury built in the late 19th century.
The University outgrew its city centre campus and started vacating the neo-gothic buildings in 1961 after which the original campus became the Arts Centre of Christchurch.
These buildings, along with many others, collapsed during the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake. It's wonderful to see the buildings now restored.
John Bolin donated some beautiful images....thank you!!! :

I also was lucky enough to obtain permission to use these physics images from a professor of physics who created the diagrams.
Another try of a kind of splash...hmm...I don't know, how to call it. No matter! My first try with "Ink and water". I hope you like it.
And I go on saturday in the holidays for 3 weeks. But I hope to take some nice photos in Saint Petersburg/Russia. Should be a nice city. =)
Keeping with the theme of juvenile snowflakes, this one had just begun to grow its branches before was sent out of the clouds. Even though the branches are tiny, there’s a lot to discover here! view large!
This snowflake also harbours three-fold symmetry, albeit much less obvious than yesterday’s snowflake. The best place to see it is in the central bubbles; notice how every other “trapezoid” has roughly the same pattern? This even-odd symmetry is quite common, you’d be surprised how often you find it when you go looking!
Most of the surface details of this snowflake are on the opposite side of the crystal. They can be seen through the ice (ice is transparent) with a little less detail. I enjoy this look better of certain snowflakes, revealing stronger lines around the outside edges and allowing internal features to become more prominent. While nature creates these beauties, the photographer has a lot of control for how to present them to the world!
Snowflakes are all about lighting and angles. If I can photograph the snowflake on an angle where the light from the ring flash partially reflects back off the surface of the crystal into the lens (like glare), the surface lights up. Multiple surfaces make certain parts of the snowflake brighter, which is most often caused by bubbles in the ice. The brighter central area? It’s just ice like the other parts, but because the bubble creates multiple layers of ice, there are now multiple reflective surfaces and more light coming back to the camera.
This is also true along the branches. A very bright feature in most snowflakes, one or two running lines through the center of the branch reflect a ton of light. If the image is severely under-exposed, these regions reveal solid rainbows of colour. At normal exposures, you can still see the bleeding of colour away from their bright white centers. These bright areas could be caused by ridges above the surface of the ice (in this case, on the opposite side) that can evoke the prism effect. Alternative they could be bubbles in the ice, but something would need to be special about them to be so much brighter than other bubbles.
Photography is the melding of art and physics, and snowflake photography is a great example of that. If you want to know all the photographic (artistic) techniques, as well as all the physics of snowflakes, you need to own a copy of Sky Crystals: skycrystals.ca/book/ - you won’t be disappointed, it’ll make winter much more tolerable!
If you enjoy this series of images, your eyes might light up when you see “The Snowflake” print – consisting of over 400 snowflakes put together over 5 years with 2500 hours of work… all into a single image: skycrystals.ca/poster/ - do me a favour and take a look!
This hexagonal ice crystal showcases dendritic branching and stellar symmetry—hallmarks of atmospheric crystallography. Formed under specific humidity and temperature conditions, its beveled edges and central star-like nodes reveal the physics of phase transitions in frozen water vapor.

A cloud is a visible mass of droplets or frozen crystals floating in the atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or another planetary body. A cloud is also a visible mass attracted by gravity (clouds can also occur as masses of material in interstellar space, where they are called interstellar clouds and nebulae.) The branch of meteorology in which clouds are studied is nephology or cloud physics.

For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction. But does that apply to gods, super humans, and aliens? I've seen things that would change the very way people live. I changed my past, and then had to deal with the consequences of my action. I have stood before the most powerful and evil person in my universe, and refused to bow. Yet in my lifetime nothing like this has happened before. Over night new continents just appeared, cities were destroyed because two things can not exist in the same place, new types of people exist now--some can change there entire physiological without even blinking. We still don't know what the consequences of this will be, but I fear grand ones are in store. Some of these could come by our own hand--people have always protected there homes, there always will be, and ever since this "collision with another reality" it has caused allot of chaos. Some people call us terrorist and they demand our lives. Of course like us there are ones that take the law into there own hands; I've called for a conference and they have agreed to talk.
"Hello. The names Tony Stark, first time I've had to introduce myself. I'm here, to discuss under what circumstances your going to turn yourself over."
"We're not going to, in our world we are American citizens too." says Superman.
"And in your 'world' do you level entire cities?" Tony retorted.
Wonder Woman then said, "We would never do such a thing--we fight against those type of people."
"Well, so do we sister. We call ourselves the Avengers...well to make a long story short, we have a team of supermen and there's four of you. Come quietly please..."
Batman very calmly steps forward and looks Tony in the eyes and says, "What makes you think that there's only four of us?"

This is not the well-known levitating-superconductor demonstration! The levitating plate is made of pyrolytic carbon (similar to your pencil tip) and it levitates at room temperature over a group of magnets. The reason for the levitation is the same as for the superconductor experiment; Pyrolytic carbon is strongly diamagnetic, meaning that it creates a counter-field to expel the external field from its interior. Thus the plate and the base act like two magnets repelling each other.
