Finally

Dang, it has been a long time. But I have finally gotten around to putting up another post at my photo blog. These pictures were taken during the winter season. The photos are at the usual place. Click the picture or the link to go have a look. It is a long post, so give the page some time to load. Have a great autumn.

Interesting High-speed (super slow motion) Video Clips

Some really neat videos here.

Now these videos are really cool, but it makes me wonder. High speed cameras are very expensive and they use a lot of film. I wonder how they came up with the idea and were able to film all these things ...

Grad student #2: Dude! Let's do it!

OK, so maybe my language is a bit dated; it's been a while since I've been in university. But I wonder what that proposal would look like ...

Grad student #1: Dude! Let me flick your ear next!
