24-Hour Time-Lapse of Downtown Dubai
On 11/11/11, Gerald Donovan aimed his Canon 5D Mark II and 14mm f/2.8 at Downtown Dubai and set it to shoot one photograph every 30 seconds. He left it there for 24 hours, and then took the 2880 photographs and turned them into this beautiful time-lapse showing the passing of a day. What’s neat is that the reflection of the sun and moon can be seen going up and down the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. (via Gizmodo via Doobybrain)

Kaufmann’s Posographe: An Amazing Exposure Calculator from the 1920s
Kaufmann’s Posographe is an intricate pocket-sized mechanical calculator invented back in the 1920s. Measuring 13x8cm and filled with tiny scribblings, the device allowed photographers to approximate the exposure values they needed by simply sliding around six small pointers.
Here’s a look at the front and back of the Posographe, along with a diagram of its innards:
Technology has come quite a long way since then, eh? Kaufmann’s wonderful Posographe [History of Computing]

Our Amazing Bodies!
After flicking through many YouTube videos on this stuff, I thought I’d GIFitize one of them.
Here the video is showing a real White Blood Cell (in this case a ‘Neutrophil’ or ‘Phagocyte’) chase down and gulp a foreign Bacteria, that would probably cause food poisoning or a nasty tummy bug if left to multiply.
On average the human body has 26.5 Billion white blood cells, they work 365/24/7 seeking out yummy treats (Bacteria etc), this is their primary job within our immune system. sometimes though the bacteria can become too numerous, like if you have eaten chicken that’s not cooked properly. If this is the case they will cause the human body many problems… You probably know what I mean if you have ever had an infection of some sort… Not very nice!
A cell in the bone marrow (hematopoietic stem cell) then gets to work to make significantly more White Blood Cells to fight the large amount of bacteria in your body. Keeping a healthy diet and eating well will ensure you don’t get too many nasty tummy bugs!
The video is sped up, as in real time this whole chase is much slower in comparison (Can’t remember the exact speed).</blockquote>

I still haven’t gotten in the habbit of posting more here… I did however postsomemorepictures on Flickr since my last post, using a another workflow, or recipe, for creating the HDR pictures (although one was not HDR). I already mentioned the HDR Cookbook from Klaus Hermann. I suggest you check it out, it really is a great resource for lots of things HDR!
The most recent shot I did is from within a church. The Sint-Janskathedraal (Saint Johns cathedral) in Den Bosch, the Netherlands, was restored a couple of years ago. Every piece of wall and ceiling has been painted in the colors it must have been in the Middle Ages. I did spent quite some time on this one and blame all the new techniques from the HDR Cookbook. I’m still learning a lot, but in this picture it surely paid off.
It's been a while (again...). But I got in photography mode last night, and selected a photo to work on. I recently discovered the excellent tutorial by Klaus Herrmann, the HDR Cookbook. Got some very good tips out of it, and I found out I still have to learn a lot. But that doesn't matter, life is about learning! The shot below was taken in the Openluchtmuseum in Arnhem, the Netherlands. In this museum you find everything from the history of the Netherlands like old houses from different parts of the country which have been relocated to the museum. There is also a railroad, where some old train and tram cars can take you on a ride around the museum. This car is standing in the bus garage, fully restored in all it's splendor.
A fun project I would like to do is reconstructing old photo’s, that is reenacting the shot. Argentinian photographer Irina Werning did just that. Here is a short behind the scenes:
