What if cameras can take pictures on things that are invisible by the naked eye?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010
Omega 3 I asked:


I heard people are developing cameras that can take pictures and videos on subjects that can only be seen with a microscope. What would you do with such a new feature? Would that be even better if this camera is on a cellphone?
By “invisible” I mean that they are too small to be seen by the naked eye, rather than truly invisible like ghosts

So Im in an Advanced Digital Photography class and It turns out to be an independant study class… if anyone knows of any good websites with photoshop tutorials let me know (the only one i know is good-tutorials.com) or if u know a good tutorial give me the instructions on it. I want good, advanced tutorials. Not things like pencil scetch, cartoon effect, or easy stuff like that… THANKS!!!

Tricia asked:


From anytime BEFORE Aug 2008… was a featured article about San Francisco culture, the influences(?), and had a specific restaurant mentioned, with a photo of a waitress w/tattoos as the first photo? Anyone have a recollection of this? I’ve tried the Nat’l Geog. site and haven’t found anything yet… thanks!

Found it. It was National Geographic Traveler Magazine, Sept 2008, SanFran article was the cover. Now I just need to go to the library and find a back issue.
