15,000 tns Blast Croy

An unusual invitation ,but very exciting

 

Asked into Croy Quarry in central scotland to photograph a blast

 

when they blew up a bench with 15,000 tonnes of rock this one of the shots

 

from the time the detonater was pushed to the rock hitting the ground took approx 5 seconds .

this was a very exciting challenge as i looked through the lens at the rock blowing up and the noise , made the hairs on my neck stand up .
