My Next Premonition!

I mentioned on Facebook, that there might be a major scientific discovery today. Can I graduate yet?!

Update

What have I been up to since my last post on this blog?! I've been archiving the most interesting science and climate/weather related stories and events of 2017! So check them out on my other blog: http://compelledblog.blogspot.com/2018/01/to-sum-up-2017-in-magnificent-science.html. Unfortunately, Google, as well as Yahoo, are starting to act up; I can't use some (most) of the formatting tools that Google offers, such as pasting a link that you actually don't have to copy and paste; and to make matters worse, I can't use Yahoo answers nor get to my Yahoo mail anymore. Anyways, 2017 was a really intriguing year and much of what I have archived most likely isn't in the mainstream news. Please follow my blogs though, I'm almost sure that you'll find something of interest in the blog. My super macro photo made it to Earthsky.org! Unfortunately, I lost a follower on Flickr, which only makes me despair more...but aside from that, I have been playing around with super macro photography some more; I've tried it with a DSLR, a compact camera, as well as a smartphone! And the verdict? The smartphone is the most practicaly to use, the compact camera seems to be a good balance between affordability, ease of use and practicality, while the SLR is a relatively practical, and easy setup, although it is fairly expensive. I've been wanting to make Youtube videos, and unfortunately for me, the Youtube video editing tools (most of them) are gone. I've made a video of my most recent super macro photography setup using a Sony RX100 II and a low power microscope, on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQHCvAvSRvQ. It's not perfect, but it works for the most part! So, what's next in store? Well I'm still looking for my lost Best Buy gift card. If and when I find it, I think I'll either save up for something such as a drone, or I I might get a video light for my Sony camera (~$44.50) or a gorillapod tripod with Gopro mount so that I can more easily take macro photos with my Sony while being able to use my Gopro on a tripod. It would be really neat to film my photography setups using the Gopro, or to take some photos of me taking photos, such as long exposure showing in the LCD screen, while a very short exposure could be seen in the background. I have recently thought about mounting my Gopro onto a microscope or telescope; unfortunately, I haven't found much ways to do that, except for Back Bone, which would cost me between $600 and $700; that's more than twice what my Gopro initially cost! But the idea seems really neat. I mean, think about it: who wouldn't like a camera that small and light, as well as waterproof, for some professional astrophotography and photomicroscopy? I could take some cool time lapse videos of the weather moving through, and not have to worry about the rain flooding the camera!
