I ciechi vedono i colori nei loro sogni? L'esistenza del mostro di Loch Ness può essere spiegata scientificamente? Se il viaggio nel tempo fosse possibile, ci sarebbero una o più linee temporali?
Ricercatori e Ricercatrici delle Università di Pavia, Poitiers (Francia) e Turku (Finlandia) hanno dovuto rispondere a queste e molte altre domande nell’arco di un paio d’ore. La Science Battle, organizzata dall’alleanza EC2U, si è svolta in concomitanza con la “Notte europea dei ricercatori”, venerdì 24 settembre. Le tre squadre si sono sfidate online, rispondendo a domande “curiose” mentre erano fisicamente presenti, ciascuna nella propria Università.
A Pavia, la Battaglia si è svolta nell’Aula del 400 e lo staff del Globec (Center for Global Strategic Engagement) è stato supportato anche da Sharper Night e da S.T.E.P. ESN Pavia, associazione studentesca partner associato dell’Alleanza EC2U, con la quale condivide i valori di internazionalizzazione senza confini. Inoltre, a testimonianza dei valori di ecosostenibilità promossi dall'Alleanza e contestualmente a un importante evento organizzato da FridayForFuture, hanno partecipato alla Battle anche diverse associazioni pavesi: Amici IC Cavour, Agricoltura sociale a Pavia, Friday for Future, Viveretraduefiumi, Il Sellino Spiritato.
La Science Battle è nata presso l'Università di Turku nel 2016. La versione più ampia dell’evento è stata sviluppata con le altre sei università dell'Alleanza EC2U.
Pavia ha vinto l’edizione 2021 e attende con ansia di scoprire chi vincerà nel 2022, poiché sarà l'avversario da affrontare nella finale del 2023!
Le tre squadre erano formate da ricercatori provenienti dai campi accademici più disparati come la fisica, l'economia, l'ingegneria meccanica, l'antropologia e la psicologia.
La squadra pavese era composta da: Francesca Sanguineti, Tullio Facchinetti, Alessandro Bacchetta, Francesca Guma, Rachele di Giuseppe, Mattia Gilio. Bravi!
Durante la Battaglia, i ricercatori hanno formulato, in pochi minuti, risposte convincenti a curiose domande, precedentemente proposte dal pubblico.
Alla domanda “perché i bambini giocano ma gli adulti no?” le squadre hanno risposto che gli adulti giocano eccome … e la Science Battle ne è la prova!
Le risposte sono state valutate da una giuria composta da esperti di altre università EC2U, ovvero l’Università di Coimbra, Iasi, Jena e Salamanca.
The DSC S650 produced quite a strange set of test photos. For once I was more impressed by the indoor shots in poor light than with any of the other test photos I took.
My biggest gripe about the outdoor scenic type shots is the focusing. The pictures are simply not as sharp as I like to see. This is not just towards the edges of each shot but even towards the centre I feel the shots could be sharper. This is true of all three shots, one with the zoom lens half extended, one with the zoom not used at all and the final shot with the lens fully extended.
Another issue I have is that many of the test shots could have been brighter. This is true of all the outdoor test shots to some degree, but especially the second test without the zoom in use.
The glare of the sun also causes the camera a problem. The shots were taken on a very sunny day, but there is still a level of detail lost that I think could be improved on.
Colours are strong. This can be seen in the skies and with the darker green foliage in the outdoor shots. The test shot for colour shows the strength of the blue, but unfortunately areas that should be white have a blue tinge and areas that should be yellow have a green tinge as the blue mixes in.
Next up is the outdoor portrait. This is another photo where I feel it could have been brighter. I have no problems with the skin tones, but I would like to see the entire photo lightened up a notch or two.
Oddly the two lowlight photos are the best. Perhaps the camera works at its optimum with the flash on. The indoor portrait is well focused although it could also be lighter. There is no evidence of red eye in the shot.
In extreme lowlight the camera is able to focus well again. In this test the camera is fairly close to the beer bottles and the camera is able to lock onto the subject and focus successfully.
Focusing is not a problem with the macro shot. Again the problem is a lack of light.
Looking at the two test shots taken with higher ISO settings they are a big disappointment. Whilst it is rare for a camera to do well in this test the results show a lot of noise and deterioration even at ISO 400. At ISO 1000 the photo hits the dreadful mark.
See sample images link arrow
Shutter Lag and Recycling Times
The shutter lag delay for taking a single photo was 0.41 seconds. This is just above average. For five photos it took a respectable 8.30 seconds. Turning the flash on and repeating the tests is a whole new ball game. Times increased dramatically to 2.21 seconds for a single photo and 22.67 seconds for five photos. Sometimes it seemed to take an age to get the camera to focus with the flash turned on.
You can compare this camera to other models by taking a look at the Shutter Lag Comparison Table.
Features
The 3x optical zoom lens has a focal length equivalent to 35 - 105mm in 35mm format. The zoom power of the DSC S650 can be increased by using a feature called smart zoom. More and more smart zoom becomes available as you decrease the resolution you are shooting at. A maximum of 14x smart zoom is available at the lowest resolution. 6x digital zoom is another alternative.
For lining up shots there is a 2" LCD screen. This is made up of 115,000 pixels. I must say I found the screen more or less impossible to see in bright sunlight. It was by far the worst camera in this area out of the ten I was testing at the time.
The flash works up to 3.5m. This falls to 2m when the zoom lens is in use. Flash modes are Auto, Forced Flash, Slow Syncro and No Flash. Red eye reduction is also available.
There is the usual selection of scene modes. These are Twilight, Twilight portrait, Soft snap, Landscape, Beach, Snow and High Sensitivity. By selecting the type of scene you are about to photograph the camera is able to use what it considers to be the optimum settings for the shot.
Shutter speeds and aperture size are controlled automatically. The shutter speed works in the range 1 - 1/2000 seconds. The maximum aperture is f/2.8 - f/4.8. For close up work you can get to within 5cm of the subject.
A number of more advanced functions give you access to Exposure Compensation (+/-2.0 EV, 1/ 3 EV step),White Balance (Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Fluorescent, Incandescent, Flash), Metering (Multi Pattern and Spot) and ISO (Auto, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1000). You can also adjust levels of sharpness.
There is a burst mode. This allows you to take up to three shots at a maximum speed of 1.5 frames per second. You can also use the self timer when you would like to appear in the shot. The self timer offers a two or ten second delay. The DSC S650 also comes with a couple of special resolutions. The first is for playing back photos on a widescreen television. The second takes photos the ideal size for making 6 x 4" prints.
You can record movies at a maximum resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. The top speed is 30 frames per second. Sound can be recorded and although zoom cannot be used while the movie is in progress it can be applied before shooting starts.
You can connect the camera to a compatible printer and computer. I could not find a way of connecting the camera to a television set.
Ease of Use
Ease of use is a strength of the camera. Most of the key controls are available through buttons on the back of the camera and also a control dial on the top. The menu system is straightforward and you should be able to find the options you are looking for without to much of a problem.
Cost
You can pick up a Sony DSC S650 for £95. This compares to the Canon Powershot A550 £115, the Fuji Finepix A700 £95 and the Olympus FE-210 £90.
Style
From the front the camera looks like many of the other cameras in the current Sony range. It is on the large side to fit into a pocket with dimensions of 91 x 61 x 26.5mm. It weighs 130g. Other than that there is not a lot that really distinguishes this camera from other models.
Batteries
Two AA batteries are required to run the camera. Sony estimate a typical pair of batteries should be good for around 100 shots before they need replacing.
Memory Cards
There are 24mb of storage built into the camera. Therefore a memory card is not supplied as standard. I was able to take seven shots before the internal memory was full. The camera is compatible with memory stick duo and memory stick duo pro cards.

Points I like:
Indoor photos
Where it is not so hot:
Sharpness outdoors
Dark photos
Shutter lag times with flash
LCD screen in sunlight
Summary
I know the Sony DSC S650 is not the most expensive digital camera, but I was still disappointed by its performance. Shutter lag with the flash, the performance of the LCD in bright sunshine and the lack of sharpness it the outdoor shots are all major drawback

I played with the original to make those clouds sharper, though at the end of the day this was exactly as I felt in the morning; it is also the .jpg from scratch as it came out from the camera... (I use a custom setting in my D90: VIVID, with +1 saturation and sharpness +6). If you want to see the other candidate you can visit my photoblog : maguisan-fotos.blogspot.com

This is a very basic test, with both pictures being SOOC jpegs and spot metering. The focus was on the "2".
The prime lens is maybe marginally sharper, has very slightly "better" bokeh and produces more contrast that the zoom but there really is very little in it.

Uploaded a sharper version 4/19/20. The description below is from 2012.
I took this almost a year ago, and finally had time to contact print it. I guess that shows how much time I have to do darkroom work these days. I'm pleased with how it turned out. The negative needed very little burning and dodging in order to get the desired print. As usual, the print is much better than the scan, even after adjustments to get it to look as much like the print as possible.
I was looking for a way to photograph this waterfall, and get as much of it into the picture as possible, while not having it be too busy. I think I achieved it with this one. I went there two weeks in a row, and shot 8 8x10 negatives, and a few 5x7's as well.

How are you?
How you doing?
How's your family?
Are those tears?
I’m fine, and you?
Doing great! How about you?
We’re good… how’s your family? Alcoholic? No, He just drinks like this on social occasions.
Tears? No, the sun is just bright. Or must be allergies.
For many years I hid behind a mask. People didn’t want to hear the truth. They were just being friendly. They don’t like complainers. Inside I was tore up to pieces, but on the outside everything was picture perfect.
I have since shed the mask, but every once in awhile I find myself slipping it back on. When I do, I become angry at myself. But there are still those people that just want positive things in their life. That don’t want to hear the truth. Don’t like “complainers” And that don’t really care… but were asking out of kindness. So I shut down and withdraw my response and hold it inside.
So how about you? How are you? REALLY? Not just what you tell people.

Re-scanned and ploaded a sharper version 10/20/19. The description below is from 2009.
The Blue Heron paper plant in Oregon City. This was an image from my latest exhibit called "The Night Shift." It's the first image I took with my Kodak Commercial 8x10 camera. This is a scan from the proof sheet, not from the final print that hung in the exhibit.
I was inspired to take this image by the industrial photography of Ansel Adams. I have always liked old things. I seek out landscapes and cityscapes that remind me of the early to mid 20th century.
Camera: Kodak Commercial 8x10
Lens: 12" Kodak Ektar
Film: Ilford HP5 developed in Kodak HC110.

"How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child! " – King Lear (Act I, Scene IV) - William Shakespeare.
NB! This quote has been selected from a famous play by William Shakepeare.
Familiar, everyday quotes have crept into the English language and they are often used on a daily basis although most people do not appreciate that they are actually famous quotes by William Shakespeare and originate from great plays such as Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Othello and a Midsummer Nights Dream.

Nell’ambito della Notte Europea dei Ricercatori (Sharper) è stata allestita dal 23 al 26 settembre 2019, presso lo Spazio Saperi del Palazzo Broletto (Pavia), la mostra “Scatti di Scienza”.
Vi siete mai chiesti come sono fatte le nostre cellule o che colore ha una roccia al microscopio? I ricercatori dell’Università di Pavia studiano gli esseri viventi e la materia inorganica per capire i segreti della scienza.
Grazie all’uso di sofisticate tecnologie possono fotografare oggetti infinitamente piccoli, invisibili a occhio nudo, che ci restituiscono immagini affascinanti.
Sì, perchè la scienza non è solo utile a tutti, ma è anche bella! una vera opera d’arte. La mostra fotografica “Scatti di Scienza” vuole condividere con voi le immagini ottenute nei laboratori della nostra Università: potrete osservare cellule di mille forme, microrganismi marini, ingrandimenti di rocce: un mondo invisibile e meraviglioso che sta proprio sotto i nostri occhi!
