Folks, I screwed up! I missed the 2nd page of the photo contest submission. So to be fair, we are going to do this all over again and all the previous votes do not count. Again, apologies for the oversight. A smaller number of entries than the previous contest, but still excellent pictures...

I ran this past Evo, and she thought it was a good idea. Mind you, the last time she said that to one of my ideas here in GD, it resulted in the never-ending Disney thread! :) Here's how it will work: 1. A theme will be given during the photo contest period. 2. Any digital photo relevant to...

I've been very much intrigued by this picture of the surface tension of water supporting a metal paperclip: http://www.visions-of-science.co.uk/winners2005/win-18.htm" "By photographing it using a grill in front of the light source, the deformation of the water caused by the clip's weight...

New pics. These are a month old, but I forgot to upload them. They are from Sept 29. That was the first night it got really cold and I drove to the Poconos to set up shop, so while the sky was very clear and very dark, it was also very windy. First is another shot at the Andromeda Galaxy...

I was in the country where it was dark and the sky was clear and beautiful, so I aimed my Canon Powershot A85 (a great camera, but not as good as a digital SLR) towards the sky and did a 15 second exposure just to see if it would see the Milky Way (because my eyes could a bit.) The picture...

I`m a little worried by the line "or look a bit foriegn"

Attached is a photo of my RA drive. Its an ETX-105. The only visible problem is too much grease, but that's not a fatal issue. There are no chipped teeth, burrs, or anything else visible that could cause the problem. I watched run it for several minutes, then turned the scope off and moved...

What does this gesture mean? I always thought it was a "rock/er" gesture, I do not think a president would use it, but you never know I guess. I was thinking maybe 2, as in his second term, but I don't know. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/050120/ids_photos_ts/r1352513220.jpg

This is a 'How did I do this?' teaser. A couple of notes first: - The picture I include is simulated (Googled for a generic shot). Sorry, best I could do without the original. Ignore the fact that a] it's not me, and b] that the pic is indoors. - Even though this is a simulation, I actually...

For my grade 11 physics class I need to take a picture of something and then explain the physics behind it all. I was wondering if any of you had some interesting ideas.

Just caught this on CNN. Get over to http://www.georgewbush.com/ before they take it down. Take a look at the ‘whatever it takes’ photo. It shows a large crowd of US military personnel standing in formation listening to the president. Problem is, it’s a fake picture. If you look closely, you can...

Since the moon always has the same side facing Earth, shouldn't the Earth always be in the same position in the sky when observing from the moon? There's a photo taken by the Apollo 8 crew in a book I have that claims the Earth is rising above the horizon of the moon. The book is "The Rough...
