font-family: verdana;"><a href="http://leecheewai.com/">Lee Chee Wai</a> is a self taught photographer whose work delicately documents man’s relationship with nature. His series ‘Water’ looks at the element in its myriad forms against the landscape of his homeland, Malaysia.<br /><br /><br />In ‘Water’, Wai explores the many ways that this element ebbs and flows. Wai explains that for him, “The element of water is feminine, soft and flexible. It can manifest many faces, from rain to mist, rivers to sea, ripples to reflections.” </span><div><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;">Utilising extreme long exposure and infrared light, he illustrates the different forms that water takes. Tides breaking against a jetty are still, and the flow of rivers become a blur. The high contrast of the water in these black and white images helps delineates ripples, oil slicks and the insects and sunlight that dance atop them.</span></div><div><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;"><b>—Rosie Flanagan</b>, for Ignant</span></div></blockquote><div><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;"></span></div></blockquote><div><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;"></span></div><div></div></blockquote><div><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(32, 18, 77); color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;">.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(32, 18, 77); color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://www.ignant.com/2017/12/01/properties-of-water-by-lee-chee-wai/">ignant</a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://dreaminginthedeepsouth.tumblr.com">wait - what ?</a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;">.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(32, 18, 77); color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><br /></span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1547205637840171583.post-91981302537529650992022-02-27T04:31:00.003-08:002022-02-27T04:31:08.816-08:00Diatom Microscopy<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span face="Verdana,sans-serif"><span><span><span face="Verdana,sans-serif" style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: verdana;"><a href="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luglb1muIv1qbn5m1o1_500.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="cwnl:
Diatom Microscopy
The wafer like object featured above is a diatom. It was taken from a water sample in the Gulf of Maine and is seen here edge on, as observed through a microscope — think of viewing a galaxy edgewise in a telescope. A diatom is an aquatic, photosynthetic algae. This one is about 100 microns across; approximately the width of a human hair.
Aquatic plants constitute 10 percent of the Earth’s biomass and may produce as much as 50 percent of the Earth’s oxygen. Diatoms may also be very significant in the field of nanotechnology; they produce micro-scale valves that may, someday, be components in solar panels on our roofs.
These little creatures appear in the fossil record as far back as the Jurassic Period – more than 144 million years ago.
