Dusty Duck

The bane of my tries with ceramic explosions is that some break apart with tons of dust and others don't.

 

I have not been able to figure out which objects will look all dusty and which break cleanly.

 

A few times I have tried coating the inside of the figure with varnish, but have not noticed a definite effect.

 

I have also been having problems getting good timing on hard targets lately. I finally have a theory that the light from the explosion is causing triggering issues.

 

I tested that theory on this try and it appears to be good, but I have to try more to be sure.

 

There are so many ways this type of photography can go wrong that it's kind of amazing.

 

One thing for sure, you cannot ever get into any kind of long term groove because things are always jumping track.

 

Cheers.
