Kids Crafts: Clothes Pins Mermaids Welcome back to this week’s Kids Crafts – when we made clothes pins mermaids! Clothes pins mermaids have been “yet another” craft that have been on my mind/ to do list for AGES! I was waiting for my kids to be big enough to actually have a go and make some themselves. And as our clothes pins pirates showed it is very clear quite how much Red Ted LOVES colouring clothes pins. Red Ted was hooked. I then decide to make on for our Craft Book. Materials: clothes pins, pens/ paint, funky foam, glue and glitter. Red Ted’s: Painted his Mermens’ bodies in his chosen colours. I then cut out a semi circle out of funky foam, shaped it into a fin and we glued it in place. My mermaid: I painted the fin in a blue – the same colour as the fin. Done. Pip Squeak did have a go. Join the Kids Get Crafty linky party! This linky list is now closed. If you have been crafty with your kid’s be it at home, in the kitchen or outdoors, please link up! Did you like this?

100-Year-Old Negatives Discovered in Block of Ice in Antarctica - My Modern Met For the past 100 years, a box of never-before-seen negatives has been preserved in a block of ice in Antarctica. Recently, Conservators of the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust came across the 22 exposed, but unprocessed, cellulose nitrate negatives during an attempt to restore an old exploration hut. The negatives are believed to be from Ernest Shackleton's 1914-1917 Ross Sea Party, a group that was stranded in the hut during a blizzard when their ship blew out to sea. They were eventually rescued, but the box remained buried until now. A Wellington photography conservator carefully processed the negatives in order to reveal the historic mysteries on each frame.

Unusual Long Exposure Firework Photographs by David Johnson While attending the International Fireworks Show in Ottawa, Canada earlier this month photographer David Johnson had his camera in hand to document the night. When Spain’s entry into the competition begin he decided to try something a little different resulting in the photos you see here which are unlike any long exposure firework shots I’ve ever seen. Via email David tells me how he accomplished the effect: The technique I used was a simple refocus during the long exposure. Each shot was about a second long, sometimes two. What’s interesting is that unlike usual firework photos that seem to make long trails across the sky, Johnson’s photos look like flowers with little triangular plumes coming to a point.

Selfie science: Taking the perfect snap 5 September 2014Last updated at 19:40 ET By Jonathan Webb Science reporter, BBC News Choosing the right settings will affect how much of a landscape shot is in focus Have you ever wished your holiday snaps looked just a little crisper, or wondered why your nose looks big in a selfie?
