How To Make Your Own Sound Paintings [How-To] A couple of weeks back, we told you about Martin Kilmas‘s sound paintings—captured images of specific moments when paint is propelled into the air by sonic vibrations.

While Kilmas spent six painstaking months seeking the perfect series of images, you can set up a similar project and try out his technique right at home. Here’s how… For this project, you’ll need a camera with a flash, a loudspeaker unit, plastic sheeting, electrical tape, paint (ideally poster paint), and a laser trigger (if you’ve got one). First, lay the speaker unit on its back with the cone of the speaker facing up. If the cone of the speaker has a cover over it, remove it. Next, set your camera up to shoot perpendicular to the surface. Now place paint onto the plastic sheeting surface. Pump some music through the speakers. Photograph that sucker.

Article and Photography by Ron Bigelow www.ronbigelow.com Photoshop CS or Photoshop CS2 Used in this Tutorial One of the most important features of image editing programs is the ability to use layers.
Layers allow a photographer to perform separate editing steps on individual layers. An overall brightness change can be done on one layer, a contrast enhancement on another layer, and a saturation increase on yet another. Figure 1: Layers Palette Yet, there is one aspect of layers that is often overlooked, the Blend modes. Figure 2: Blend Mode Options Figure 3: Normal Blend Mode Figure 4: Multiply Blend Mode Figure 5: Screen Blend Mode Figure 6: Vivid Light Blend Mode Figure 7: Exclusion Blend Mode Figure 8: Difference Blend Mode A first reaction might be that only the Normal Blend mode produced a usable image, so why bother with the rest?

Japanese breakthrough will make wind power cheaper than nuclear. NOTE: Some major wind projects like the proposed TWE Carbon Valley project in Wyoming are already pricing in significantly lower than coal power -- $80 per MWh for wind versus $90 per MWh for coal -- and that is without government subsidies using today's wind turbine technology.
The International Clean Energy Analysis (ICEA) gateway estimates that the U.S. possesses 2.2 million km2 of high wind potential (Class 3-7 winds) — about 850,000 square miles of land that could yield high levels of wind energy. This makes the U.S. something of a Saudi Arabia for wind energy, ranked third in the world for total wind energy potential. The United States uses about 26.6 billion MWh's, so at the above rate we could satisfy a full one-third of our total annual energy needs. Now what if a breakthrough came along that potentially tripled the energy output of those turbines? You see where I'm going. Well, such a breakthrough has been made, and it's called the "wind lens.
