24-Hour Time-Lapse of Downtown Dubai
On 11/11/11, Gerald Donovan aimed his Canon 5D Mark II and 14mm f/2.8 at Downtown Dubai and set it to shoot one photograph every 30 seconds. He left it there for 24 hours, and then took the 2880 photographs and turned them into this beautiful time-lapse showing the passing of a day. What’s neat is that the reflection of the sun and moon can be seen going up and down the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.

Kaufmann’s Posographe: An Amazing Exposure Calculator from the 1920s
Kaufmann’s Posographe is an intricate pocket-sized mechanical calculator invented back in the 1920s. Measuring 13x8cm and filled with tiny scribblings, the device allowed photographers to approximate the exposure values they needed by simply sliding around six small pointers.
Here’s a look at the front and back of the Posographe, along with a diagram of its innards:
Technology has come quite a long way since then, eh?

#bacteria #blood #amazingOur Amazing Bodies!
After flicking through many YouTube videos on this stuff, I thought I'd GIFitize one of them.
Here the video is showing a real White Blood Cell (in this case a 'Neutrophil' or 'Phagocyte') chase down and gulp a foreign Bacteria, that would probably cause food poisoning or a nasty tummy bug if left to multiply.
On average the human body has 26.5 Billion white blood cells, they work 365/24/7 seeking out yummy treats (Bacteria etc), this is their primary job within our immune system. sometimes though the bacteria can become too numerous, like if you have eaten chicken that's not cooked properly. If this is the case they will cause the human body many problems… You probably know what I mean if you have ever had an infection of some sort… Not very nice!
A cell in the bone marrow (hematopoietic stem cell) then gets to work to make significantly more White Blood Cells to fight the large amount of bacteria in your body. Keeping a healthy diet and eating well will ensure you don't get too many nasty tummy bugs!
The video is sped up, as in real time this whole chase is much slower in comparison (Can't remember the exact speed).
