Hello listmembers Apologizes for the first post which left the building unfinished... Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Frímann Freyr Björnsson, a scientific photography enthusiast from Iceland. I?m looking for a good school in the field of scientific/technical photography. I have been experimenting lately with time-lapse, computer controlled time-lapse arms, streak photography etc, and I?m really hoping I can make a career out of this. My enthusiasm about doubled when I saw a lecture this autumn by David Attenborough, with the most stunning time-lapse videos I have ever seen. I am really fascinated about being able to peek into the secrets of the world around us with the help of technology. So the question is. Do you know about any good schools that cover this field or could aid me to the right direction? Since I?m located in Iceland I?m mainly looking for schools in Europe but USA is an option to. So far I have found three schools: Rochester Institute of Technology in NY sate: A program called Imaging and Photographic Technology, which in my opinion looks really promising. Univeristy of Westminster in London: A program called Digital & Photographic Imaging, not as technical as the course at RIT I think. RMIT in Melbourne Australia: A program called Photography (Scientific). Looks really good, but Australia is a bit far away I think, but still, an option. Also I´m wondering how hard it is to get into these schools? The thing is that my mother sent me to a business school when I was 16 years old, and since I have no interest in business what so ever, my grades weren´t that good! I realize that I will probably have to take some extra courses in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Best Regards Frímann Freyr Björnsson
