Neutral Density Filters
Are you familiar with neutral density filters? Click through to read about what type of photographs I like to take using neutral density filters and the physics behind the large colour cast of very opaque high ND filters.
Lunar Eclipse & Moon Facts
There is a lunar eclipse coming up this Saturday, and it will be visible from Australia. Click through to learn some fun facts about the moon like why the full moon always rises at sunset or why lunar eclipses always happen during full moon!
Single-Lens Reflex
SLR. Surely, you are familiar with those letters. But do you know what they stand for? Click through to find out and learn about the physics behind it. Optics is the reason you can look through your SLR viewfinder and see exactly what your photograph will look like.
Gravity
If you drop two very different objects from the same height will they land at the same time? And if you repeat this in vacuum will the result be different? Click through to find out the answer with Newton’s laws of motion and universal gravitation!
Blue Sky
Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue, the sun is yellow and sunsets are red? This is due to Rayleigh scattering from the air molecules. They scatter more blue light than red so when looking at the sky it seems blue! Click through to learn more.
Depth Of Field
How can objects at different distances be in focus at the same time in your camera? Why does the lens aperture size determine the depth of field of your photograph? Does it depend on anything else? Click through to learn about the physics behind it.
Bokehliciousness
I have the secret to getting cool funky shaped bokeh in your images. But if I tell you it won’t be a secret anymore… Oh dear! We’ll just have to keep it between you and me then hehe. Click through to read more about bokeh and the physics behind it. Continue reading
Orbaliciousness
I have a magic ball that predicts the future! Well… actually… it doesn’t predict the future, it’s just a regular magic ball. Well… actually… it’s not magic, it works with physics! :) Click through to learn more about glass orbs and see some cool photos.
Tiny People, Tiny Cities
Have you ever wondered why things that are further away look smaller? Click through to learn more about angles and how to use them to take cool funky photographs :)
