This from the awesome moon river:"I drop the figurine from the same height in complete darkness while the lens of the camera is open. When the figurine hits the ground, the sound triggers the lights to go off for a fraction of a second. I do this procedure many times or until I find the one frame that is just right. I keep just one such picture for every figurine". ... read on Martin Klimas' interview at the Morning News.

It's been a while I haven't done a link dump. So here are some links I've been meaning to post for donkey's years but never quite got there:
Attractors. Play around with the forces of gravity. Bit addictive in a geeky way, this.
Picture of a man on a motorbike carrying a mirror. It's better than it sounds.

Diatom Art

From the website:
"Diatoms are one of several groups of algae which biomineralize silicate. Deposition of silicate results in rigid, opaline cell walls which can take on a complex variety of geometric shapes. Their beauty has delighted generations of researchers, and diatoms are studied by hobbyists as well as professionals. In Victorian times, it was a popular pastime to painstakingly mount cleaned shells, or frustules on permanent slides and admire their intricate structure. The most spectacular manifestation of this endeavor was the creation of "arranged" slides - microscopic pictures only a millimeter or two across, made out of individually placed diatom shells."

"Green circles in the desert frequently indicate tracts of agriculture supported by center-pivot irrigation. The Al Khufrah Oasis in southeastern Libya (near the Egyptian border) is one of Libya’s largest agricultural projects, and is an easy-to-recognize landmark for orbiting astronauts aboard the International Space Station."

Glow In The Dark Mushrooms

From Pink Tentacle:"With the arrival of Japan’s rainy season, a mysterious type of green, glow-in-the-dark mushroom begins to sprout in Wakayama prefecture. The Mycena lux-coeli mushrooms, known locally as shii no tomobishi-dake (literally, “chinquapin glow mushrooms”), sprout from fallen chinquapin trees. As they grow, a chemical reaction involving luciferin (a light-emitting pigment contained within the mushrooms) occurs, causing them to glow a ghostly green.
The luminescent mushrooms were long believed to be indigenous solely to Tokyo’s Hachijojima Island after they were discovered there in the early 1950s. In 1995, however, mycologists found the fungus growing wild in coastal areas of the southern Kii peninsula, as well as in Kyushu and other areas."
