Estonian Science Photo Competition
The Estonian Science Photo Competition (Estonian: ''teadusfoto võistlus'') is a photography competition that aims to popularize science and make more science related images freely available. It has acted as an inspiration for :commons:Commons:European Science Photo Competition 2015, European Science Photo Competition first held in 2015 and Wiki Science Competition first held in 2017. History The competition was first held in 2006 (image collection process started already in 2005). In 2006 and 2007 it was organized by an Estonian science journalist Tiit Kändler."Eesti Teadusfoto 2007" Delfi Forte, 27.09.2007 It was relaunched in 2011 and organized by wikipedian Ivo Kruusamägi.

Photography
Photography is the visual arts, art, application, and practice of creating images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film. It is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing (e.g., photolithography), and business, as well as its more direct uses for art, film and video production, recreational purposes, hobby, and mass communication. A person who operates a camera to capture or take Photograph, photographs is called a photographer, while the captured image, also known as a photograph, is the result produced by the camera. Typically, a lens is used to focus (optics), focus the light reflected or emitted from objects into a real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed Exposure (photography), exposure. With an electronic image sensor, this produces an Charge-coupled device, electrical charge at each pixel, which is Image processing, electro ...

Competition
Competition is a rivalry where two or more parties strive for a common goal which cannot be shared: where one's gain is the other's loss (an example of which is a zero-sum game). Competition can arise between entities such as organisms, individuals, economic and social groups, etc. The rivalry can be over attainment of any exclusive goal, including recognition. Competition occurs in nature, between living organisms which co-exist in the same environment. Animals compete over water supplies, food, mates, and other biological resources. Humans usually compete for food and mates, though when these needs are met deep rivalries often arise over the pursuit of wealth, power, prestige, and fame when in a static, repetitive, or unchanging environment. Competition is a major tenet of market economies and business, often associated with business competition as companies are in competition with at least one other firm over the same group of customers. Competition inside a compan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wiki Science Competition
The Wiki Science Competition (WSC) is a global science photography competition for students, researchers, and others to contribute freely licensed high-quality, well-sourced images and other media to Wikimedia Commons. It evolved from the Estonian Science Photo Competition. The first global competition took place in 2017 and is held every two years,"PHOTOS , See what are the best science photos in Estonia" Delfi Forte, 13 February 2018 occurring for most countries around November or December. It has been called one of the most important photo competitions in the world. The main organizer of the competition is Ivo Kruusamägi. The first competition saw participation from over 2,200 contestants, with the number of images exceeding 10,000. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
