'Medusoid': Artificial Jellyfish Made From Rat's Heart Cells in Laboratory - Page 1. <br/><a href=" US News</a> | <a href=" Business News</a> Copy If you watch the mesmerizing pulses of a jellyfish in water, it might occur to you that they sometimes resemble the pulses of the human heart. A jellyfish doesn't swim so much as it beats, pushing its way forward.

Kevin Kit Parker, a professor at Harvard University, had that thought on a visit to the New England Aquarium, and teamed up with John Dabiri and Janna Nawroth of the California Institute of Technology. They all work in the nascent field of bioengineering, and they and their team might have started something. They created a sort of artificial jellyfish -- it looks like one, and swims like one but doesn't have a single cell of jellyfish tissue in its body. Instead, they grew their jellyfish from the heart muscle cells of a rat.

CHICK HERE TO WATCH: An Artificial Jellyfish Why do such an experiment? Take a look at the video if you haven't already seen it. 199400_414353411961329_782052168_n.jpg 780×512 pixels. David duChemin – World & Humanitarian Photographer, Nomad, Author. Approaches to Composition & Photography with Best Selling Author Scott Kelby. We’re pretty big fans of Google+ over here at PictureCorrect–find us and follow us here–so, needless to say, we were pretty excited to see the social network put together a seminar with best selling photography author, Scott Kelby. The well-known author has made a name for himself by teaching photographers at all levels to break away from the typical “rules of thirds, leading lines, repeating pattern” approach.

Kelby instead insists upon the importance of working a scene to get exactly what you want out of it. In the seminar Kelby himself takes viewers on an educational walk through of his personal workflow, starting with composition and ending with a finished, edited photograph. Don’t let the length of this seminar–just over an hour long–discourage you from watching it. Kelby is an excellent presenter, injecting occasional humor into the show to break up any tediousness. In fact, you may want to grab a notepad to take down some notes. For Further Training: 8 Things to Inspire You to Keep Shooting & Sharing Your Photography | MostlyLisa.com | Photography tips & iPhoneography inspiration. I shot this image of a silhouetted cowboy and a horse at sunset over a year ago. At the time thought is was kind of cool, so I shared it on Flickr. A year later, I received an email from Penguin saying they’d found my image on Flickr and would like to use it for the cover of a new book!

Yesterday, a cheque in the mail arrived. It’s my very first book cover! What shocked me was that somebody actually paid me real money for a experimental shot that I took for fun and for free. I wanted to share this story with you because it really hammered home some really important points about the nature of the photography business in this new digital and social age and all the things that are possible for someone with no training, little money, and a strong passion for taking great photos. You can get great shots with any camera: I shot this with my trusty Canon Rebel Xti (400D) with a basic kit lens.
