High Speed Photography

High Speed Photography is the science of taking pictures of very fast phenomena. In 1948, the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) defined high-speed photography as any set of photographs captured by a camera capable of 128 frames per second or greater, and of at least three consecutive frames.

The barking giants

They look like normal dogs on steroids but they’re one of the most sweet-tempered, generous, patient and intelligent breeds in the world, they are the Irish Wolfhounds.

First of all, don’t worry, although they look big enough to eat people, they don’t. Actually they aren’t even very good watchdogs since they tend to greet everyone as their friend. Keep in mind that some reach the size of a pony so if you are thinking of getting one you have to have a spacey home, at least one with a large yard.

Fighting ouzels

Yup, apparently they’re not just harmless birds with phenomenal voices but also very good fighters when they need to be. In India fights between short-legged ouzels are very popular, people actually breed and train them for this kind of activity, apparently there are also a lot of money involved. It’s quite sad actually, not long ago wrote a post about horrific horse fights, it’s clearer and clearer that man is indeed the most cruel being on the planet.

Amazing Spectacular Sea of Salt

The world’s largest salt flats, Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, is an unearthly place that has to be seen to be believed.This place is immense. It is over twelve thousand square kilometers in area, which makes it the largest salt flat in the world. To give an idea, that is over twenty five times larger than the more famous Bonneville Salt Flats in the United State. It also has the distinction of being the highest salt flats in the world at three thousand seven hundred meters above sea level. The mounds in this first picture are not, as you may first suspect, a naturally occurring phenomena. The hand of man is at work here.

The slat is literally scraped away from the surface and piled up in the mounds that you can see here by the locals. Salar de Uyuni is what remains of a prehistoric lake. All around it there are mountains which means there are no drainage outlets and the salt is left at the old bed of the lake. After it is scraped up these mounds are then created. This allows the water to evaporate more quickly and certainly makes the salt easier to transport away from the salt flats.

The origins of the Uyuni goes back some forty thousand years. Then it made up part of the huge prehistoric Lake Minchin. With time the lake dried up. Two lakes still remain - the Uru Uru and (no sniggering at the back) the Poopó. Two salt flats were left, the smaller Salar de Coipasa and the Uyuni. Twelve thousand square kilometers is pretty large by anyone’s standards.

 Certainly, the mounds of salt only add on to the unearthly appearance of Uyuni. Even though it is extremely isolated it, located in the Oruro and Potosi departments in the Southwest of the country, the Bolivians encourage tourism to the area. As it is near the crest of the Andes it is on the tourist trail and can be reached without too much difficulty for the more adventurous traveler.

Coincidentally the major minerals to be found in salt are halite and gypsum. One use of halite is to keep ice off our pathways and roads while gypsum is used as a finish for walls and ceilings - you probably know it as drywall. There are also considerable stocks of lithium in the salar, which are used in the production of batteries and certain pharmaceuticals. However, Bolivia as a nation exports none at the moment. It does not want large multinationals muscling in and is preparing to develop its own strategies to ‘mine’ the lithium.
