These images have revolutionized the disciplines in which they were made, but they also transformed the public's imagination, giving common people new things to think and dream about. /pp The intertwined social, scientific and artistic impacts of 19th century photography is the subject of a new exhibit, Brought to Light Photography and the Invisible, 1840-1900, at San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art. /pp This gallery looks at some of the more astounding images and stories from the exhibit. /p pstrongLeft: br / Hermann Schnauss, Electrograph of a brass wire gauge, 1900/strong As the men of industry attempted to harness electricity for profit, the public — which knew electricity primarily as lightning — had to be persuaded that this powerful, invisible force was something to invite into their homes. Electrographs like this one, produced by exposing a photographic negative with electricity, helped the public visualize and understand the mysterious electromagnetic waves that scientists were discovered populating the air. /pp "This is a moment where [scientists] are trying to harness electricity for practical purposes, but the general public was kind of skeptical," said Corey Keller, curator of the Brought to Light exhibit. "Their experiences with electricity were generally through lighting, which they knew could burn things down and kill you, if you weren't careful. So a great deal of time and money was spent trying to make electricity understandable and approachable." /p img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/11/gallery_earlyscience/3_t.jpg'/img: Photo courtesy SFMOMApIn the early history of photography, capturing motion was out of the question. The photographic negatives of the time were not sensitive enough to light to be exposed over the short time periods required to capture fast action. /pp "If you look at 19th century cityscapes, you would think that Armageddon had taken place. You don't see any people," Keller said. "It's not that they aren't there, it's just that they don't show up because they walked through too quickly." /pp But by the end of the 1870s, more sensitive negatives brought motion within reach. Edward Muybridge was one of the first photographers to take advantage of the new abilities. /pp In this photo, we see one of Muybridge's motion studies: two men boxing in jock straps. Historians note that despite the scientific trappings, Muybridge's work was just art; it did not produce good scientific evidence about bodies' movements. /p img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/11/gallery_earlyscience/4_t.jpg'/img: Photo courtesy SFMOMApThe ability to capture motion in photography opened up a previously invisible source of scientific data. Etienne-Jules Marey was a scientist trying to understand biomechanics, or the motion of the body, and he used photography to acquire information he couldn't get any other way, as in this photograph of a man on a stationary bicycle. /pp "What happens in this picture is that each split second exposure is layered on top of each other, so you get the sense of the full arc of the motion," Keller said. "And he's put a piece of tape down the arm and torso and the leg where the joints articulated, so as the leg went around and around the whole pedal stroke is outlined." /pp This wasn't just to create beautiful pictures; Marey was on a committee in France to improve the ergonomics of the newly popular bicycle. /pp "So by studying the motion of the leg, he would have been able to improve the engineering of the bicycle," Keller concluded. /p img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/11/gallery_earlyscience/5_t.jpg'/img: Photo courtesy SFMOMApWhile forward-looking scientists like Marey were using photography to understand, for example, how animals moved, as in this photo, others were less enthused about this new technology. /pp In particular, photographers' ability to capture images beyond what the human eye could perceive called into question an important tenet of 19th century science. /pp "What's amazing is that this is a moment where empirical observation in science is the most important thing, that idea of objective observation. And this kind of photography proved how completely useless a human observer was," said Keller. "So you end up with this photographic data that cant' be corroborated in any other way. It exists independently of any kind of perceptual experience." /pp Technology's ability to capture detail and motion more accurately than our eyes has only accelerated, of course, as anyone who has seen a href="http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/04/water-falling-a.html"incredible ultra-slow-motion YouTube videos can attest/a. /p img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/11/gallery_earlyscience/6_t.jpg'/img: Photo courtesy SFMOMApWhen William Roentgen announced his discovery of X-rays, a photo of his wife's hand accompanied his paper as it made its way into the scientific community. /pp Over the next few years, images like this one of a skeletal hand with the ring came to symbolize X-rays. Practically, the hand is relatively flat and therefore easy to X-ray, but it was the aesthetics and grim-reaper symbolism that Keller said hit a nerve with the upper classes. /pp "It became fashionable to have an X-ray portrait taken of your hand," she said, calling attention to x-ray hand portraits of the last tsar of Russia and his wife. /p img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/11/gallery_earlyscience/7_t.jpg'/img: Photo courtesy SFMOMApThe discovery of X-rays also touched off a lower-brow commercial craze. Within three months, DIY X-ray kits were available on the market. Photographers, who had access to most of the tools needed to make the images, began to train this new form of light on just about anything that might be beautiful. /pp "They were X-raying everything just to see what it looked like," Keller said. /pp One stunning example is this X-ray of a foot in a shoe from 1897. In fact, the connection between X-rays and extremities has remained strong. Even into the 1960s, shoe stores kept X-ray machines in their lobbies, both as marketing tools and to help their salesmen fit their patrons' feet correctly. /p img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/11/gallery_earlyscience/8_t.jpg'/img: Photo courtesy SFMOMApThroughout the second-half of the 19th century, photographers strived to unite the camera with the telescope. The moon, in particular, held a lasting fascination for astronomers and artists alike. /pp Imaging the moon, after all, was an immensely difficult task. The Earth rotates and the moon is actually a relatively faint object. It wasn't until John Adams Whipple and George Phillips Bond figured out how to rotate their camera ever so slightly to cancel out Earth's movement that simple images of our only satellite became possible. /pp What's interesting is that despite the fascination with creating pictures of the moon, like this striking image created in Spain, the images didn't add much for science beyond what detailed drawings could already do. /p img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/11/gallery_earlyscience/9_t.jpg'/img: Photo courtesy SFMOMApIf you wanted close-up photos of the moon any time before the Apollo missions, you were pretty much out of luck. Unless, of course, you built incredibly detailed plaster models of lunar craters and then snapped carefully lit pictures of them. And that's exactly what an engineer and astronomer did in 1874 to tremendous acclaim. /pp James Nasmyth, the inventor of the steam hammer, and James Carpenter, then at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England, released a hugely successful book, The Moon: Considered as a Planet, a World, and a Satellite, illustrated by their incredible moon mock-ups. The august journal Nature gave the book a rapturous review. /pp "No more truthful or striking representations of natural objects than those here presented have ever been laid before his readers by any student of Science," the reviewer wrote. /pp But what's really appealing about the images isn't their "truthfulness" but their "truthiness." /pp "Astronomers were perfectly aware of what they were looking at," Keller said. "But they felt that because they were photographed, it added a layer of authenticity to the undertaking that simple drawings didn't have." /p img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/11/gallery_earlyscience/10_t.jpg'/img: Photo courtesy SFMOMApAt the other end of the scale of size from the moon, other photographers were pushing their discipline into the microscopic realm. They had to devise new emulsion chemistries and types of equipment to capture clear images of tiny things. /pp Leading the charge was Auguste-Adolphe Bertsch, who worked to overcome any challenge that scientists threw at him. Unfortunately, he died during social unrest in France in 1871, and his images lay in a photographic archive until Keller brought them to the US for the exhibition. /p img src='http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/11/gallery_earlyscience/11_t.jpg'/img: Photo courtesy SFMOMApEven as they solved technical challenges, the photomicrographers faced social resistance. The idea of representing a specific living thing instead of a generalized abstraction of an organism forced scientists to let go of long-held notions about their discipline. /pp "Prior to the 19th century, the scientific illustrations tend to represent a type, an ideal. So if you were going to do a picture of a flower, for example, the illustrator would look at 20 flowers and then take the common features and make an ideal flower," said Keller. "So, if that particular one happens to have a defective petal or something peculiar to it, you never really know: Does that photograph substitute then for that type of flower in general, or does it only represent that one specimen?" /pp While it may have posed a challenge for scientists of the 19th century, it's the unique nature of each photograph taken during this early period that wows us, even now. /pbr style="clear: both;"/ a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:cbbf63f1fb7e67b9e527dab439e4ba21:vhnm7352PkhDZ3b08Y2sMp4jzO%2FvufrreaVV1%2FrMy42ouvVreaTTDJcKqzYRuG4%2FgvMTMWdfcoiISQ%3D%3D'img border='0' title='Add to Facebook' alt='Add to Facebook' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/facebook.gif'//a a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:3cf235586c06605892691e6a3cc9a6cb:7YUWc87MfIHrwmN9P9TT7ITHhbOVnGVHD5aVfAni2CwHKV3OjhBRXoUQPCYhFP0YAqd3k1E%2BIINZ'img border='0' title='Add to Reddit' alt='Add to Reddit' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/reddit.png'//a a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:699763cdf092463708984ca1c5702e58:bEbuTfq1BfCFGUCGXcjZyzj2%2BUs8JYt6eLxbw%2BRZPyloK9TZCe4fvvSwrlZP%2BZzee5meVRIX8gW2'img border='0' title='Add to digg' alt='Add to digg' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/digg.gif'//a a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:452d5247e5154eb1c537fb798e02025d:keBjN8UUXzm6OdqnEZk2bgxHIa%2FOmVXDvgbaX7IYXrGoPzG2vgzcUEAVnZm%2FCv8f61qPB2Dqa28%2B'img border='0' title='Add to Google' alt='Add to Google' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/google.png'//a br style="clear: both;"/ a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?s=cdc22e1d5623ce9533eb24f0beb19af9p=1"img alt="" style="border: 0;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?s=cdc22e1d5623ce9533eb24f0beb19af9p=1"//a img src="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/tracker.php?i=cdc22e1d5623ce9533eb24f0beb19af9" style="display: none;" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/ pa href="http://feeds.wired.com/~a/wired/index?a=CwnoSm"img src="http://feeds.wired.com/~a/wired/index?i=CwnoSm" border="0"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.wired.com/~r/wired/index/~4/461399892" height="1" width="1"/

thanks

TheMinty

p.s sorry for spelling and grammar and such...

edit i forgot. i cant use the dashboard f4 shortcut of the f3 cool one that i use all the time>_> or cmd + (the little arrow into a wall) but the lighting and rewind pasue/play and fastfoward buttons doo!

I am a proud owner of a 15" MacBook Pro, 2.5 GHz, 2 BG, 250 GB Hard Drive. I have only own this Mac for about 4 months. Just yesterday, while at school, my MBP went into the screen saver mode and the LED lighting dimmed. When I went to type something in Pages, my MBP won't come out of the screen saver. I typed some keys and tried to move the mouse but nothing happened. When I plugged my Logitech Cordless Mouse in, the courser moved on the screen and the MBP came out of the screen saver mode, but the keyboard and trackpad still didn't work. I restarted the computer and the keyboard and trackpad worked fine until it went back into the screen saver. Could anybody give my advice on how to fix this issue so it won't happen again.:(

The Solar Vertical Lamp adds some mood lighting through the blinds.img src=http://dw.com.com/clear/c.gif?ts=1115768950edId=3prtnr=CNET%20Networks,%20Inc.oid=2100-null-ptId=2547onId=nullsId=17asId=astId=1CTYPE=rss_feedsCVAL= border=0 height=1 width=1 alt= /

Could everyone just dole out a round of golf claps for Yoon-Hui Kim and Eun-Kyung Kim? Swell, thanks. These two designers have conjured up something that any second-rate hotelier (we kid... kind of) would love, as the Solar Vertical Lamp provides an eco-friendly (and eye-catching) alternative to those drab lamps from the 1980s. With the blinds open, you'll hardly notice anything unusual, but all the while tiny solar pads are being charged up; when time comes to shut these very blinds, a lighting instrument appears to brighten the otherwise darkened room. Brilliant, right?

For the fifth year running, the Paris city council is helping out areas of the city who want to put up special illuminations for the holiday period. Here's the list of all the streets with super special lighting this year!

photo by MicMacPics1 used under cc licence
All over France, it's usually the authorities that pay for the Xmas lights. Everywhere, that is, except Paris - here, although the city council helps out, it's the local shops that get together, pool their ressources and design their iluminations. Now in its fifth year, the Paris Illumine Paris event (Paris Lights Up Paris) has expanded from five, to twelve, to twenty different areas of the city.

There are now over 125 streets and squares illumintaed for the holiday period, with each arrondissement trying to outdo the others with original displays that will - hopefully - attract the Xmas shoppers. This year the theme is "Creation - Innovation - Energy Control", with many low consumption bulbs being used.

We'll be going down to the Champs Elysées very soon to take pictures of the lights there, switched on by Bertrand Delanoë and actrice Marion Cottillard. In the meantime, here's our list of the areas that have made a special effort. The names sound enticing; I've tried to translate them as best as possible. Our prize for pretentious title of the year goes to the 19th arrondissement with "The Frozen Foam - The Golden Wave - The Fiery Ripple"! If you're in town, try and see them all!

(The numbers are for the arrondissements)

1st & 2nd: rue Montorgueil, rue Tiquetonne - "Forest of Light"
3rd: rue de Bretagne, rue des Francs Bourgeois - "The Crowns of Bretagne"
4th: rue Rambuteau, rue du Temple - "Sparkles of Winter"
5th: rue Mouffetard, Place Église Saint Médard, Place de la Contre Escarpe - "Mouff’ Stars"
5th & 6th: Boulevard Saint Germain, Place Saint Germain des Prés - "Shining is the Night"
6th: rue de Rennes - "Twinkling Drape"
7th: rue du Bac, rue de Grenelle, rue Malar, rue Jean Nicot - "Shower of Crowns"

If you loved those Shepard-Fairey-designed HOPE posters that the whole Internet seemed to be making parodies of, you can have the effect for yourself in Apple's Photo Booth. Here's how to do it, using a href="http://www.dubster.com/obamafy/"the Obamafy plugin. /abr /br /Once you've downloaded the .qtz file, move it to Compositions in your Library folder. Once you've done that, open up Photo Booth and click effects. You might have to cycle through to the last page of your effects to find Obamafy, but it should be there. It took a little bit of experimenting for me to find the right lighting to get a result that looks like the posters, so don't give up without playing around a little bit.p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"a href="http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/11/20/get-the-obama-effect-in-photo-booth-with-the-obamafy-plugin/"Get the "Obama effect" in Photo Booth with the Obamafy plugin/a originally appeared on a href="http://www.downloadsquad.com"Download Squad/a on Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:00:00 EST.

Former Memphis police officer pleads not guilty to civil rights charges in the videotaped beating of transgender woman Duanna Johnson while she was in custody: "Johnson, a biological male who lived as a woman, was being booked on a prostitution charge when the incident happened. A videotape of the beating was broadcast on Memphis TV stations and online in June, leading to McRae's firing. His former partner, James Swain, 25, was also fired." Today is the National Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Obama taps Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano as Homeland Security secretary. Politico: "Napolitano is a border governor who will now be responsible for immigration policy and border security, which are part of Homeland Security’s myriad functions. Napolitano brings law and order experience from her stint as the Grand Canyon State’s first female attorney general. One of the nation’s most prominent female elected officials, she made frequent appearances on behalf of Barack Obama during the campaign. She was reelected to a second four-year term in 2006."

An interview with Aaron Harvey, whose work was the inspiration for the now well-known Shepard Fairey "Defend Equality" image: "I landed on a design that was certainly not new, but was new this go around -- a raised fist of solidarity, with a twist: this fist also had a wedding band on it. The color scheme was also deliberate. The official "No on 8" campaign was using a green check in their campaign which I felt was a visual oxymoron. I knew red needed to be part of the design. When I showed it to friends and colleagues some of them said 'Oooh that's kind of angry, how are you going to persuade people sitting on the fence with that?' Well, for me, it wasn't about persuading the other side. It was about my side, and getting my side to realize there was something they needed to get up and defend!"

Time Out New York interviews activist Cleve Jones: "I think there are lots of Harveys out there, but the movement has changed. The charismatic individual leaders who were able to get things done by the sheer force of their personalities—we don’t see them anymore. In Harvey’s day, we didn’t have infrastructure. We just had individuals with big ideas and big mouths. When Harvey ran for office, we had to raise $30,000 to get him elected, and that was a challenge. Today there are hundreds of gay organizations around the country that routinely raise and spend millions a year. We didn’t have community centers, churches and youth groups, and of course, we didn’t have HIV/AIDS. I think people like Harvey and myself are really anachronisms. Probably the last leader of that style was Larry Kramer."

Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus on electing Republicans: "If a retailer has not gotten involved with this, if he has not spent money on this election, if he has not sent money to Norm Coleman and these other guys, [then those retailers] should be shot; should be thrown out of their goddamn jobs."

Vogue Paris has an editorial in the November 2008 issue which features a 20-year-old model photographed as if she were 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 years old. The hands betray her true age in the 40, 50, and 60 shots but the 10-year-old photo is a little bit of brilliance...just the right angle and lighting. (via the year in pictures)
