🧪🌌 UC #Boulder researchers encapsulated single-celled #algae within #3D-printed hydrogel shapes.

The team used an acidic solution to trigger a sustained blue glow from the organisms. These living structures could eventually serve as battery-free light sources or sensors that detect environmental toxins.

Barn doors can help shape speedlight’s output

If you’ve ever been around large lighting rigs, such as spot lights, you’ve seen metal flaps on the front of the lamp.

These are known as “barn doors,” which help shape a light and restrict it.

We’ve talked about snoots and grids to shape light from speedlights, but there is a way to add barn doors to your speedlight.

Over on Petapixel.com, Nick Fancher shows how he took some foam board and gaffer’s tape to make a set of barn doors for his flash.

He uses gaffer’s tape for the hinge, but if I were to build one, I would get small strips of wire (either light-gauge electrical wire or twist ties), to ensure that the flaps can be put exactly where you need them.
