uk666 5,298 Report post Posted May 27, 2019 The 2018 Global Physics Photowalk Competition The winning entries in the 2018 Global Physics Photowalk competition. The 2018 Global Physics Photowalk brought hundreds of amateur and professional photographers to 18 laboratories around the world, to capture their scientific facilities and workforce. The science of the participating labs ranges from exploring the origins of the cosmos to understanding our planet’s climate, and from improving human and animal health to helping deliver secure and sustainable food and energy supplies for the future. Simon Wright bagged first place in the expert jury’s choice with this shot taken at the UK’s STFC Boulby Underground Laboratory, which is located 1.1 km underground in Europe’s deepest operating mine and contributes to the search for dark matter. The photograph captures Tamara Leitan as she scanned an information board at the lab. To highlight Leitan’s face, Wright used a miner’s lamp instead of a flash to minimise interference with light reflected from the safety equipment that workers must wear at the mine. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
