Art that exists in every period of the process has different contents such as materials, techniques, concepts, themes that are far from modern and traditional art practice. Experimental works are the main factors affecting these contents. Although

experiments. Because the data gathering step of many scientific experiments must be carried out with the use of photography, these suggestions will apply to experiments you carry out throughout your life. If you learn these techniques and use them in your experiments, you w ill be a better scientist or engineer.
Apr 8, 2024 · Dadaist Experimentation and the Birth of Modern Abstract Photography. Today’s notion of experimental photography mostly emerged in the wake of the first World War. At that time, the Dadaists, Cubists, and Futurists were the talk of the painting world. Their ideology revolved around a libertine, pacifist, and satirical view of the world that ...

Enlightening the public and policymakers to what science actually looks like was one of the goals of the Faces of Biology Photo Contest, organized by the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS). The contest, which ran in the fall of 2011, encouraged researchers and students to showcase the varied forms that biological research can take, wh...
No matter what your current skill set, taking better pictures is possible with a little know-how and practice. “Most scientists should aim for basic proficiency, even with just a cell-phone camera,” encouraged Wild. “Cell-phone cameras are inexpensive and take good-quality photos nowadays. Lack of a high-end camera shouldn't be a deterrent.” Here a...
Taking photos of research equipment seems to come naturally, but scientists sometimes forget to take pictures of themselves or their research assistants at work. Showing people doing research is a great way to communicate about science to the public and to demonstrate what research looks like.
The people that you photograph do not need to look directly at the camera and smile. Instead, have the subject freeze in a natural pose that demonstrates the research that is being conducted. (See the winning photos for good examples.)
Take a few minutes at the start of a research project to make a list of the images that you need to convey the narrative of your research. “A little forethought can make those images more intentional and multipurpose,” said Mehling. “Think about your research as a story and plan on how to depict that story through images.”
The background of your image should be uncluttered and allow for a clear silhouette of the subject. Watch out for distracting elements like utility poles and signs. If the background of your photo contains unwanted elements, try moving a few feet to the left or right.
Watch out for extraneous space around the subject of the photo. Don't be afraid to zoom in or to physically move closer to your subject in order to keep the focus of the picture on the subject. (Laura Russo's photo is a good example.)
Too often, we take images while we are standing. This often means that the photographer is physically looking down at the subject, which can influence the viewer's perception of the subject. For instance, a photo of an insect taken from above is not as intimate as a photo taken at the insect's eye level. Try kneeling or even lying on the ground to ...
Placing your subject in the center of your frame is a common practice. Although it can be appropriate to center your subject, it is often more interesting if the subject is placed to the right or left of center. Use what is called the rule of thirds. Basically, imagine dividing a photo into nine equal parts, with two horizontal and two vertical lin...
Photo-sharing Web sites, such as Flickr, are a great and free way to make your images available for use by others. There are not enough photos of biology online. Pictures posted on Flickr are available for use by others, with proper attribution, when licensed through Creative Commons (creativecommons.org).

Figure 1.11. Point Spread Function for circular aperture. A point source imaged by a lens of focal length f and diameter a gives a pattern with a minimum of radius r = f /a. This is the Point Spread Function or instrument function analogous to the impulse function of an electrical circuit giving its response to a -function impulse. y x z
