Aren’t these ocean wave photos incredible? Photographer David Orias writes about his work:
I do this by using long shutter speeds and camera motion to achieve this goal. I am often asked where the colors on my waves come from. I shoot mostly at dawn and the geography of the location allows higher ambient light levels before the full illumination by the sun.
Long Shutter Speeds and Camera Motion Yield Impressive Photos

This is what it looks like to shock flowers with 80,000 volts. In this odd but old photographic technique (called Kirlian photography), the object is placed over photographic film over a metal plate. When the extreme voltages are applied, the air surrounding the flower is ionized, leaving a ghostly electric image on the film. The remainder of the colorful image is hand-painted later.
Check out Robert Buelteman’s gallery for more shockingly ethereal flowers.

This is awesome.
I love polar bears.
And I have a similar picture with my friend’s dog. She not as dangerous though.

How a molecular biologist proposes! So cute.
DNA amplified to different sized fragments via the polymerase chain reaction, and then seperated by size on a gel. This isn’t that hard actually. I just got a Valentine’s Day idea for my lady :) Time to design some romantic DNA.
I think more people should get creative with their science, no?
