A Thresher Shark hunts with its tail. It’s subtle but watch carefully at about the 0:08 to 0:10 mark as the shark flicks its long tail at the passing school of fish. This is apparently a rarely seen event.

Infrared photography is “cool” — even though you are really using the part of the light spectrum that is “thermal” and invisible to the human eye. Infrared photography is used by the military in night vision googles and in astronomy to penetrate dusty regions of space.

TOKYO, August 31, 2010—Canon Inc. announced today that it has successfully developed the world’s largest*1 CMOS image sensor, with a chip size measuring 202 x 205 mm.

At 202 x 205 mm, the newly developed CMOS sensor is among the largest chips that can be produced from a 12-inch (300 mm) wafer, and is approximately 40 times the size of Canon’s largest commercial CMOS sensor.*2

The “it” is the plant(s) in his garden and if you want one, each print sells between $1,500 to $10,000.
