The exhibition
is made up of images selected from the Visions of Science Photographic
Awards which show the very best in science photography. Images that
inspire, amuse, enthuse and make us question the world are all part
of the exhibition.
A Vision
of Science is an attention grabbing image that gives new insight
into the world of science and the workings of nature.
It
may show something never seen before, it may explain a scientific
phenomenon, it may illustrate scientific data or it may simply be
an image that shows the beauty of science.
As
Adam Hart-Davis, photographer, TV presenter and one of the judges,
says “As judges, we want to be smacked between the eyes with
pictures that we have never seen before, pictures that demand that
we think about some aspect of science or nature in a new way.
We
don't care whether you use a throw-away camera or a multi-billionpixel
digiwonder; what matters is the picture.”
Every
year a selection of winning and shortlisted images form a stunning
exhibition which tours major science venues around the UK, as well
as science and art festivals.

As
past winner Dr Adam Nieman, science communication researcher says,
“The
benefits of winning Visions of Science have been numerous.
"The
money has helped me update my equipment and my success has helped
with a couple of
grant applications. The publicity has definitely increased my professional
profile but far more rewarding even than these benefits is the sense
of having an audience for my work. I have also been more productive
and more creative since the competition!”
