Special Report - International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge
Thank you for your interest in the International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge. We are in the process of restructuring the Visualization Challenge. We will begin accepting entries in September 2014. Please visit this site periodically for updates. Some of science's most powerful statements are not made in words. From DaVinci's Vitruvian Man to Rosalind Franklin's X-rays, science visualization has a long and literally illustrious history.
Microscopic Images of Alcoholic Drinks
All of these impressive photos of alcoholic beverages under a microscope uncover the elements that make up some of our preferred tipples. Similar to photos of snowflakes, each and every beverage is unique, while observed below when zoomed about 1, 000 times under a high tech lab microscope. Created by United States company Bevshots, these are available as artworks for potential buyers which recognize the concealed beauty of alcoholic beverages. Catching the small elements that define most popular drinks such as vodka, pina colada and Chablis.
Fine Nude Art – A Provocative or the Most Honest Art?
Some people say there is a very thin line, dividing fine nude art or erotic photography from pornography. However, for the artists, working in the nude art segment, and for fine art fans the distinction between these two notions is vast and obvious. Of course, viewing fine nude photographs does arouse basic human instincts, such as sexuality. However, primordial beauty of the human body, its perfection and pureness still remain at the key focus on nude photographs. Even naked human body still has so many secrets unrevealed. Maybe, it is because the body itself is the clothing for a soul…
20 Most Amazing Microscope Shots
These microscope pictures are taken from the book ‘ Microcosmos’, created by Brandon Brill . This book includes many scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of insects, human body parts and household items. These are the most amazing images of what is too small to see with the naked eye. 01 – A wood or heathland Ant, Formica fusca, holding a microchip 02 – The surface of an Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory silicon microchip 03 – Eyelash hairs growing from the surface of human skin
25 Incredibly Detailed Black And White Portraits of the Homeless by Lee Jeffries
Lee Jeffries career began as a sports photographer, capturing the beautiful game of football in Manchester. Then a chance meeting with a homeless woman living in the streets of London changed his life forever. He has since dedicated himself to capturing gripping portraits of the disenfranchised.
Scientific Photography
Scientific photography is about visualizing things that can't be seen with the unaided eye. It is used to describe natural and man-made phenomena in a way that clarifies, educates, and illuminates. Through scientific photography, we can describe things to other scientists, but also to the public, which in many cases supports the research with its tax money. Science photography that is beautiful and otherwise aesthetically pleasing is able to capture the imagination of the viewer to a degree unlike any other style of photography. Something about images of things never scene before: witness the fascination with the remarkable space photographs brought back by the Hubble telescope. Scientific photographs address a deep human need to explore, to push frontiers, and to answer fundamental questions about the world around us.

Awesome Photo Manipulation
Before computers, photo manipulation was achieved by retouching with ink, paint, double-exposure, piecing photos or negatives together in the darkroom, or scratching Polaroids… Photoshop is simply brilliant for creating Stunning Effects from simple elements and for fixing Photos that got the right scene but isn’t ok fx. in the light or color balance. In the hands of someone who knows how to control Photoshop it is able to do some really cool tricks but it isn’t easy at all for beginners.
Science Photography Spotlight
On January 7, 1839, an installation artist and chemist named Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre announced to the French Academy of Sciences in Paris that he had perfected a photographic imaging technology that could be used on a large scale and was reproducible. His invention, later named the daguerreotype, was based on a special property of silver iodide: when exposed to light, the molecules undergo a chemical transformation that can be turned into charcoal-colored shadows and lines when later exposed to developing mercury fumes. The more intense the light, the darker the resulting silver-mercury amalgam. When a sheet of metal copper coated with silver iodide, for instance, was exposed to a street scene for a prolonged period, an image of the street was represented on the daguerreotype plate as lines and shadows of varying brightness. Daguerre initially thought his invention would be suitable mostly for personal use in travel logs, art installations, and architectural records.
