Photography, science and blogging

Imaging, photography, photos, tips and tricks and a little science sauce

  • Low-light photos with and without flash – infographic – How to take photos in low-light conditions, with and without a flashgun.
  • Tips for super moon photos – There's plenty of time to practice photographing the moon before the next so-called "supermoon". Indeed, next month's full moon is only a day after apogee, so is almost a supermoon again… Anyway, with your dSLR on a tripod try starting at a low ISO, usually 100, an aperture of f/6.6, and an exposure length of 1/100 second. Focus at infinity or the moon (whichever is nearer). Bracket. Experiment with higher ISO or longer exposure time. Often it's a case of underexposing and then pulling it back with your image editing software. Use the biggest zoom you can find but switch of IS if you're on a tripod and use a timer or remote shutter.
  • MILSET Science Photo Contest – From a water drop to a rainbow, from a bubble to a geyser, from smoke to light, from microscopy to astronomy, everywhere, we are facing scientific phenomena. MILSET Europe aims to give you an opportunity to freeze them for eternity!
  • Ducks on a Foggy Morning – There is a soft silence that covers still waters in the early morning. If you’ve ever been by a slow-moving river before the sun is over the horizon, maybe you know what I mean. It reminds me a bit of the name of the wind, in that it folds one silence into another.
