Photographer Captures Intriguing X-rays of Toys
Australian photographer Brendan Fitzpatrick has spent 20 years documenting the skylines of cities around the world.
His latest series called Invisible Light looks at how x-ray technology can be used to reveal the surprisingly beautiful internal structures of simple objects like tulips, crabs, and toy replicas of robots and helicopters.
The project uses chest X-rays and mammogram machines to explore the inner workings of various objects and natural forms.
The 45-year-old has scanned toy robots, a toy gun, flowers and even a hen's eggs revealing their complex interiors.
The Sydney based photographer explains that he was inspired to look at X-rays while researching for a commercial job.
"The art directors wanted an X-ray effect which I assumed would be created using negatives etc. I never thought it worked so I explored the possibility of using real X-rays. I was very lucky to find a radiologist willing to work with me."
The photographer explains that the project is ongoing, and that he hopes to bring more depth and complexity to his interpretation of the subjects in the future.
Brendan believes the X-ray toys and models would make great wall art. He says that the large acrylic prints of the robots will light up a boy's bedroom or geek's cave big time
"The flowers are rather more subtle, often I find people don't realise it's an X-ray image."
Brendan says the X-ray technique allowed him to work with a fairly blasé set of subjects, creating im...

Pictures show area around Olympic Park still not finished
Just Days To Go: Pictures Show Russian Olympic City Not Ready
With just days to go until the start of the Sochi winter Olympics, these pictures suggest the city is not ready for the showcase event.
The shocking pictures by local journalist Alexander Valov depict the area around the Sochi Olympic Park in an unfinished state.
Documenting the progress of construction and infrastructure works while walking around the immediate area of the Olympic Park on 23 January, Mr Valov found numerous cases where he claims works had not been finished.
From his observations, he suggests that volunteer accommodation was still without electricity and sewage systems, pathways laid directly onto soil have already failed and have had to be hastily patched up, grass landscaping has been been laid incorrectly and dried up, litter and construction debris blight the area and open manholes on pathways are covered in flimsy wooden covers.
However Alexander suggests that an area he believes will be used by President Vladimir Putin has been prioritised: "It is natural for Putin to make the place where he will ape in front of video cameras and, of course, it is closed to mere mortals," he says.
Describing his tour, Alexander said: "Today (23 Jan), 15 days before the start of the Games, I walked to Imerati Valley, the site of the Olympic Park, which in the official pictures looks just fine, but the reality is far more prosaic: walkways laid for the Olympics, already collapsing, construction workers and a contactless current arena, repairs have no end. Construction debris and household garbage are a common occurrence to the areas adjacent to the Olympic Park as there...

Hand-built wooden VW Volkswagen Beetle, Bosnia and Herzegovina - Oct 2013
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Andy Willsheer/REX (3230089x)
Wood You Believe It: Man Makes Volkswagen Beetle From Wood
A man has made a VW Beetle - out of wood.
Momir Bojic has hand-built the impressive Bug with mind-boggling patience, using high-skilled woodworking to create intricate detailing.
Everything from the bonnet to the gearstick has been carved by Momir in his garden workshop - with help from his understanding wife Nada.
The couple also created wooden fittings for the pedals, wheel caps, bumpers, front turn signal lamps, tail-lights, wipers, door mirrors, steering wheel, parcel shelf, dashboard, glovebox lid, clock and even the radio aerial.
Amazingly, the car features thousands of thumbnail-sized, finely sliced sections of oak designed to replicate the style of the commonly seen wooden-tiled roofs in Momir's homeland of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Each tile involved a process involving no less than 23 separate procedures, including cutting, chamfering, bevelling, drilling and smoothing, before they could be applied to the vehicle.
Momir, who is retired and in 'his 60s', spotted the 1975 Beetle used as a base-model for sale at a fair and got a metalwork company to take off the roof, doors and strip the chassis.
He says: "The price certainly seemed reasonable, but what really clinched the deal for me was the fact that it had a trailer hitched on the back. In my country, a trailer is a very useful item to own - it makes carting goods of any description very easy - and so I paid the vendor and took delivery of the combination.
"At the time, I told my wife Nada that I was none too sure exactly what I was going to do with this addition to the household, but whatever decision I came to it would be something original and worthwhile."
Thankfully, Nada soon joined the woodwork project after seeing how long it had taken her husband to complete the very first sectio...

Spectacular View Of Plasma Dancing Across The Sun's Surface
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) have released images and a video of plasma shifting back and forth above the sun's surface for 30 hours.
On February 7th - 8th an active region rotating into view provides a bright backdrop to the gyrating streams of plasma. The particles are being pulled in various directions by competing magnetic forces.
They are tracking along strands of magnetic field lines. This kind of detailed solar observation with high-resolution frames and a four-minute cadence was not possible until SDO, which launched two years ago on February 11th, 2010.

At night the Goniopora corals are transformed as they fluoresce, red, green and orange under blue light. The mouths of the coral animal, the polyp,are orange and the bodies and tentacles are red, tipped with fluorescent green. Some scientists believe that the fantastic colours of the pigments form a kind of sunscreen from the string ultraviolet rays in shallow water.

Ultraviolet Undersea Life
A new collection of photographs capture the beauty of underwater life.
Award-winning photographer Louise Murray has spent the majority of her years travelling the globe documenting awesome scenery and wildlife from every country she has visited.
During that time she has often dived underwater to photograph marine creatures amongst the coral reef.
Her latest collection was captured while diving in the dark waters of Tondoba Bay in the Red Sea of Egypt.
The fluorescent images occur when near an ultraviolet torch.
Highlights include a giant clam that appears dull under natural light but glows bright red under the blue hue; a pipefish hunting at night glows orange and camouflaged fish made visible by the ultraviolet torch reveal their florescent green pigment making them known to their prey.
In comparison to the muted browns, golds, pinks and blues of a coral reef during the daytime "it looks like Oxford Street at Christmas," says Louise.
The wildlife photographer uses a powerful blue light to stimulate photosensitive pigments in the marine life, which then emit fluorescent colours.
Louise explains: "Almost all these photographs were shot after dark as the sunlight masks the colours.
"The stronger the light the better the results, I have to filter my camera and eyes with a yello...

Underwater fluorescent photographs by Alex Mustard - 19 Aug 2011
Manadatory Credit: Photo by Alex Mustard/Solent News / Rex Features (1448620j)
Underwater Electric Light Show
These underwater corals look stunning as they emit a fluorescent glow of green, orange and purple.
The colours radiate from the coral in the same way a UV light bounces off bright clothing in a nightclub.
British photographer Alex Mustard, 36, snapped the glowing corals, worms, anemone and crabs while diving in the Red Sea and the Caribbean.
He took the pictures at night and used a standard camera fitted with a blue flash, which triggers the fluorescent reaction.
The exact reason why the corals fluoresce is a mystery but it is thought the fluorescent pigment acts like a sun screen.
Alex, from Southampton, Hants, said: "The Red Sea and the Caribbean both have healthy and rich coral reefs.
"For these types of images you want to photograph where there are lots of species of corals as some glow with fluorescence and some do not.
"What is amazing is that you don't know what you will get until you see the pictures.
"Some corals glow strongly, while others do not.
"It is only when you take the picture and the blue flashes go off that you know if the coral is a performer.
"The pictures are taken with a normal camera and the colours are those that the camera recorded. They are not adjusted on a computer.
"I fitted filters to my flashes so they produce only deep blue light.
"This excites the fluorescence response in the corals, which then give out the greens, oranges and yellows you see in the images.
"The effect is the same as when bright colours in your clothes show up under the UV light in a disco or nightclub."
He added: "Corals are important creatures, which build the reefs that support whole ecosystems.
"They are under threat from rising sea temperatures and increasingly acidic seas.

Verdon Gorge, France
Europe's Grand Canyon - Exploring the Verdon Gorge.
Outdoor sports enthusiasts are spoiled for choice among the breath-taking landscapes of France's Verdon Gorge. Although the base of the gorge was only explored for the first time a century ago, today the Verdon is a major centre for canoeing and canyoning, rock climbing and rafting, wildlife watching, and local and long-distance walks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visitors to France's break-taking Verdon Gorge, one of the greatest geological marvels of Europe, need a head for heights. From the popular vantage point of the Escalès belvedere, along the eponymously-named Route des Crêtes, 300-metre vertical cliffs plunge down into the chasm of the Verdon River and the narrow passage known as Samson's Corridor. To the north lie stunning panoramas of the Alpine peaks, while the Verdon itself snakes southwards, through rock-cut passages, to the plains and undulating hills of Provence beyond.
The Route des Crêtes is a meeting point for Europe's top rock climbers attracted by dozens of climbs criss-crossing the impressive slabs of vertical rock which are also training grounds for local firemen and outward bound enthusiasts. At river level, other adrenalin-rush sports include canoeing and canyoning, white water rafting and aquarando, a combination of river walking, rock scrambling and floating downstream.
As well as the gorge the Verdon area comprises five artificial lakes, dammed after the Second World War to provide hydro electricity. Largest of the lakes is Sainte Croix, a vast expanse of turquoise waters, which offers windsurfing, s...
