If I take a picture of a tree, could you tell me what it is?
I'm a bit limited to trees of Europe and the northern hemisphere but if you provide the following information:1. Photos of growing characteristics (the tree in its whole)2. Close-up photos on the leafs, flowers/fruits, bark3. A description of growing place and historyProbably, possibly, yes
How do you take a picture of a shiny round ornament without including your reflection?
It's for a photography class. & we need to be able to take a picture of an ornament thats both round and shiny like this one http://www.pinkribbonshop.com/productimages/orn_survivor_rnd_mir.jpg but the thing is, unlike the picture where you see the dude holding a camera, you and your camera's not allowed to be in the picture.. and for another question, I have a photoessay due on thursday, and we have to take holiday related pictures that looks professional, but we can't do obvious things like trees, and candles etc. so that's my 2nd question if you'd like to answer. thank you.
How do scientists take pictures of space and show galaxies instead of stars?
They over-expose. When they take pictures of space, if you leave the shutter open long enough, you will get lots of smudges that are galaxies in addition to lots of overexposed stars. If you leave the shutter open for a shorter period of time, you will get mostly stars because you didn’t expose long enough to record the galaxies. Look up the Hubble Deep-Field (HDF) exposure that kept the digital camera pointed at the same very small spot (1/24,000,000 of the sky) for most of 10 days. Very few stars were in the image, so just about everything else had to be a galaxy (or at least it didn't belong to the Milky Way). Hubble Deep Field - WikipediaSince then, several similar (but much longer) exposures have been done, like HDF-South, Ultra-HDF (several weeks of exposure) and XDF (Hubble eXtreme Deep Field - a total of 2 million seconds of exposure [~23 days] collected over 10 years). All of these show that galaxies can be lots of different shapes and sizes.
Why do we say "One can't see the wood for the trees" when it should be "One can't see the trees for the wood"?
They're idioms based on proverbs. It's not literally a visual differentiation of of trees within a forest. It's in the figurative meaning of big picture vs. small details.The proper idioms are these two:-Can't see the forest for the treesCan't see the wood for the treesBoth versions mean exactly the same thing -- to be too involved or focused in the small details so that it results in failure to appreciate or understand the larger picture or the situation as a whole.The "wood" in the second version is in the sense of 'forest.'She can't see the wood for the trees arguing about petty cash but overlooks the whole budget.The politician was so concerned about the wording of his proposed law that he couldn't see the forest for the trees -- the bill could never pass because it's just not useful law.Both expressions were already a proverb in The Proverbs of John Heywood (1546). The version "forest/trees" is the older by our present-day dating methods. Heywood didn't invent many of those idioms or proverbs -- he just collected and contextualised them for easier understanding.
What apps identify plants if you take a picture of the plant?
Current best rated expert-based mobile app is called FlowerChecker which uploads taken photo to team of botanists. Then it displays their answer (so it is paid and human-based).For free automatic identification, there is a web service Plant.id which can identify 8000 most common species with ~ 80% accuracy. It is basically cutting-edge of image recognition.There are also other apps, with lower ratings and different pricing worth trying. To summarise:FlowerChecker (Android and iOS) expert-based and paid,Plant.id (web service) free and machine-learning based,PlantNet Plant Identification (Android) fully automatic,Garden Compass (iOS) both automatic and human-based,Leafsnap (iOS) more like field guide,GardenAnswers (Android) both automatic and human-based.
What kind of tree is this branch from?
After a recent storm that brought down many trees and branches, I found one that would be perfect for my budgie aviary. The problem is that I don't know what kind of tree it's from and some trees are toxic to budgies. It's reddish brown and has bark that looks similar to birch bark in the way it peels off the branch. If you know what type of tree it's from, or need more pictures, let me know! Here are the pictures: http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/Somefr... http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/Somefr... http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/Somefr... http://s1168.photobucket.com/user/Somefruits/media/IMG_4317.jpg.html
