Old pictures, but still cool pictures.

I found some old pictures from labs that I could share. I think some of the stuff that I am learning in school is awesome. Maybe I should just be a teacher because I always want to share new stuff that I learn with people around me.
Anyway, these are pictures I have in portfolio along with my resume. They all illustrate different proficiencies and concepts that I am capable of performing.

This is a picture of a laser illustrating a simulated bullet trajectory through a windshield. Have you ever tried to see a laser beam? Usually all you see is just the dot at the end where it hits a surface. This is one of my favorite types of photography.

This is an electro-static dust lift. That is a piece of Mylar that is black on one side and metallic on the other. You put the Mylar black side down over a place where you suspect that there may be a print, and then hook it up to an electric current. The statically charged sheet picks up the dust using the same properties that make your stick to a rubber balloon. Cool stuff.

This is a picture of my college campus at night. You can see my ghosts next to the tree trunks. I used a remote flash to flash every tree and the walkway. This technique is called fill-flash. It is used to photograph large crime scenes, such as a police pursuit, or to show the path that a suspect used to drag a body to their car or something of that nature.

This is a little more boring as a picture but super interesting in real life. This is an example of vectoring a blood stain pattern. This way when you take close up photos of the blood drops you know where the came from and will help you to reconstruct the scene if necessary

This is a fingerprint that was processed with a fluorescent powder then photographed under a black light. If you were to just simply dust a fingerprint on a Pepsi can with the typical black powder, you would not be able the see the print very well. This technique helps you contrast the print form a dark or multi colored back ground and make it easier to use this print for comparison.
