Photos of the LHC

The Large Hadron Collider is the biggest particle accelerator in the world, located between France and Switzerland. This month scientists will start doing tests and gradually ramp up the accelerator to full operational capacity. Before it creates a black hole that sucks up the earth goes online, The Big Picture site has amazing shots of this huge scientific station.

I’ve done some industrial photography in my time but this would be amazing to shoot.

Photoshop through the web

Adobe just released Adobe Photoshop Express, “an online version of Photoshop” which allows anyone to work on their photographs using just a web browser. The available tools are basic and are not really a full (or even simple) version of Photoshop by any means. They are however very useful for people that want to do some basic corrections to their images, store them online (they offer 2 gigs of storage) and also a way to use those images in other sites like Facebook.

After playing with it for a while I think it’s a good first version that will help many people who just want to do minor adjustments to their images when using any computer in the world. Great for vacation shots you might want to upload while traveling for example. Keep an eye out on this one since Adobe will be making improvements to it and adding more features.
