Photo competition: Science in motion
The theme for September’s photo competition, "science in motion", was interpreted in so many inventive ways that we were spoiled for choice. We have put together this gallery of our favourites; the winner is Andrea Gabrieli's photo of Genovese snow, providing a rare visual element to air turbulence.
Turbulence – the winner
Andrea's beautiful photograph illustrates air turbulence captured in the patterns of swirling snow - allowing us to visualise something we can usually only feel. The picture was taken in Genoa in 2001, using an exposure of a fifteenth of a second on black and white 35mm film

Fishes is a sign of air
The effect created by fish swimming near the surface of a pool, overlapped with the reflection of the trees... don't they seem to be floating in air?

Lightning

Hydrodynamic evolution
Bluefin tuna is one of the fastest-swimming fish, with a long migration during its life cycle. Evolution has given it its fascinating hydrodynamic lines.

The reaction between aluminium and bromine
Aluminium foil is placed in liquid bromine: an exothermic reaction takes place, as shown in this shot

Singularity
A fixed metal wheel with the same diameter as my outstretched body served as the base structure for carrying out a series of 19 poses for this multiple exposure shot. I rotated myself sideways, moving from rung to rung until I had completed a full rotation of the wheel, revealing the constant elements of my figure in this motion.
