I took a photo of an exploding Mr. Coffee a while ago but was never happy with the result. I got another pot a few months ago so I got another try.
Boy I spent a long time on this and one detail screwed me up. I have to thread the firecracker into the coffee pot through the base blind. And I didn't. It ended up under the glass pot not inside.
So when it went off it didn't shatter the glass out, only up. And thus didn't trigger the flash.
But the light of the firecracker was interesting. And the mess was just as bad as always, good photo or not.
Cheers.

One of the most frustrating things about my camera is that the images it captures are never sharp enough. By “sharp enough” I mean my eyes sees them sharper! So last week I bought a super macro lens called Raynox DCR-250, and I think it improved my close up pictures dramatically. This can best be seen in the lower navy/purple marker (beside the black marker). The details (sharpness) on that marker, and a couple others, are amazing. I even uploaded the original image just in case you are interested in seeing it in its original full size.
For a price of $54 I think the Raynox DCR-250 is a very good lens in that it is very sharp, however its depth of field is paper thin: anything beyond or closer than that imaginary line is a blur. This is not completely a bad thing if you want everything else except what you are focusing on to be a blur, but that means it is almost impossible to use without a tripod, and forget about using it if it is windy outside! (Unless you have a very good friend who is willing to hold a tree branch for you! LOL!) I think I am keeping this lens. I have a feeling it will come in very handy in the future.
I was aiming for a shot like those used in stock images which I really like because they are so simple and right to the point! I hope I achieved that :)
PS: I must admit, those markers are the best $1 I’ve spent in my life!

This guy is a true master at shooting bubbles in the wild, check out his photos, they are amazing.
He recently upped the bar and started shooting bubbles in mid burst. This really takes it to the next level of difficulty. I haven't taken any good ones yet, But I think the results are still kind of interesting. This is the right rear portion of the bubble, I thought it was weird how it was almost rectangular.

How do I get this onto my iPhone?
There are a number of ways to do this, however I think the easiest and fastest way is to download Flickr’s free app. Within the Flickr app you surf over to my photo feed to view the images (if you make me a contact then I’ll appear in the flickr contact list). When you find one you like, just click the download button and save the image directly to your phone. Quick & Simple!
I don’t have an iPhone. Can I still use it on my phone?
As of this writing this image (960 x 640) should be large enough to be used as wallpaper with the Droid / Android, BlackBerry, Windows 7, and iPhone.
How did you make it?
This background was made using graphic design software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Filter Forge, Genetica, Wacom, Alien Skin, Topaz Labs, as well as several other programs.

Cake done at my first PC course! Got a bit excited with colours hence the technicolour. It reminds me of a jester! Probably would've been nicer with just 2 or 3 shades of the 1 colour.
I put a slice of kiwi in front of a light bulb and took this picture. Taken with a reversed Sigma 24-70 lens.
Attack of the Crab Monsters (Allied Artists, 1957). One Sheet (27" X 41").
ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS is one of a handful of B films that Roger Corman did for Allied Artists when he wasn't churning 'em out for Nicholson and Arkoff at AIP. It also happens to be one of his most beloved 50s monster efforts. Frequent collaborator Charles Griffith concocted the script and strays from the abundant humor present in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS and CREATURE FROM THE HAUNTED SEA, playing it straight this time (that is if you can accept a giant talking crab as serious). Griffith also appears in the film (he gets decapitated early on) and directed some underwater scenes.
A group of scientists find themselves marooned on a nuclear-affected atoll in the Pacific where they have come searching for members of a previous expedition. After doing some research, they learn that the other scientists were eaten by giant mutated land crabs, and that these creatures have also absorbed their minds. The menacing crustaceans begin to snack on this new set of guests, using telepathy (articulating with the voices of the person they just devoured) in order to summon their next victim.
Like all of the early Corman films, this was made on shoestring but was reportedly his highest grosser up until that time. It's a tight 60+ minute effort with very little time for chat, and the giant crabs don't look too bad at all in comparison with other 50s sleaze creatures. The film boasts a classic Corman stock ensemble: Richard Garland (PANIC IN YEAR ZERO) and Pamela Duncan (THE UNDEAD) are the heroic love interests, the vastly underrated Russell Johnson (still years away from "Gilligan's Island") is a life-saving technician, Mel Welles and Leslie Bradley are scientists with accents (you haven't lived until you've heard a giant crab speak with Welles' Mushnik persona, and Beach Dickerson and Ed Nelson are in there as well. Nelson also operated the crab and legend has it that Jack Nicholson did as well!
ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS has been released on DVD by Allied Artists Classics, a company whose legitimacy is still in question. Previously released on VHS, they utilize the same substandard transfer and it fairs no better on the digital format. The full frame black and white image is looks generations down in quality, with nonexistent black levels and video tape dropouts during the start of the show. The print source is in decent shape, but the overall appearance is dark and dingy. Sound quality is OK, if you can get past some hiss. This would be fine if this was an under-$10 budget release, but this baby retails for about $25! If you're willing to shell out the bucks, the quality is acceptable and this title is essential to any 50s monster movie buff's collection. Also included is the original trailer and a still gallery
Director Roger Corman capitalizes on the H-bomb hysteria of the 1950s by setting this tale on a remote island designated for weapons testing. Science meets nature, with horrifying results. Errant radiation spawns mind reading, mutant crabs bent on destroying the group of scientists who have landed on the island to investigate the disappearance of the previous team. Beauty is no match for the beast on this spectacular one sheet, with a terrified but lovely Pamela Duncan in the clutches of one angry crustacean.
Starring Richard Garland, Pamela Duncan, Russell Johnson, Leslie Bradley, Mel Welles, and Ed Nelson. Directed by Roger Corman.

A group of scientists travel to a remote island to study the effects of nuclear weapons tests, only to get stranded when their airplane explodes. The team soon discovers that the island has been taken over by crabs that have mutated into enormous, intelligent monsters. To add to their problems, the island is slowly sinking into the ocean. Will any of them manage to escape?
I spent the evening at the Phillies minor league team game and during the 8th inning they announced there would be fireworks at the end of the game- which was a surprise to me! Not only could I not recall the settings to shoot fireworks, I only had the telephoto lens with me. I phoned a friend for the settings and I set up the tripod and promptly broke it (this is the 2nd one for those of you keeping count) by loosening a screw too much and not getting it to go back on. So, here is what I got without the tripod. I was really close and the 70-300mm lens was all wrong. I used the timer for some and they came out better but of course I missed a lot. Not what they are supposed to look like but next time I have to haul the heavy duty one with me. Drat!
