The Best Science Photographs of 2005

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the worth-a-thousand dept.

Hogwash McFly writes "This year's Visions Of Science Photographic Awards have honored several amazing snapshots in the realm of science photography. Photographs were each judged in one of ten categories, and winning images range from a sinister cancer cell to the use of eggs to illustrate panspermia. The full list of winners and runners up is featured on the official website, and there are larger versions of the winners over at the Beeb and at National Geographic."

    How I would shoot this photo:

    • An aquarium full of water
    • white background
    • light the scene from the bottom
    • drop blue ink in
    • shoot away until you get an interesting shape
    • display the photo upside down (so it looks like the ink is rising)

    Note the blobs on the bottom are air bubbles that have floated to the surface.
