I brought along my 8 year old for this particular shot and he described the scenery as exploding marshmallows. I just love the imagination that kids have. Any way, I thought I'd share where I got the title from.
Off to Montreal this weekend for some fun. Hopefully will bring back a few to share with you all.
Rap é o motivo, é a causa pela qual to lutando
Me dedicando, perdendo noites e noites de sono
Durante anos, apostando cada minuto do tempo
Observando, quem é digno de tá no movimento
Or, this is what happened to my appendix a little over a week ago. Being a tough guy (some might think an idiot), I went 5 days before the pain caused me to seek medical attention. Fortunately, an incredible medical staff, Doctor and Surgeon went to work on me and may have saved my life.
Now out of the hospital, recovery going very well; I hope to make an 11 hour drive into northern Arizona to attend a Family Reunion this coming week. It promises to be one of the best gatherings in many years.
This is going to keep my activity low on Flickr for awhile, but I'm looking forward to seeing all the great work that has been captured in my absence.
God Bless.
Taken under a canal bridge. Previous rains meant that there was a steady fall of drips from the bridge into the water below. I took a lot of shots at different settings trying to capture these drops. Some worked, some didn't.
I narrowly escaped being washed off the rocks while shooting on this day. 10 metre high waves had been forecast. Respect the ocean!!
"Explode Into Space" is the book about the dry observations of a travelling man from the year 1986. You can see the book at my website www.pbernhard.com !
... for a happy blue Monday !
Globe thistle / Ruthenische Kugeldistel (Echinops ritro)
in a cottage garden in Boll bei Hechingen, Baden-Württemberg
I set the camera on a tripod and focused on the egg.
The camera was set to B f8
I had the power cord from the flash which I cut the end off so when the two wires touch it fired the flash.
I taped the wires behind the egg with a 2mm gap and then turned the lights off and opened the shutter on the camera then I fired the air rifle and as soon as the pellet hit the egg, the two wires touched and fired the flash.
And there you have it.
The human heart is like a ship on a stormy sea driven about by winds blowing from all four corners of heaven.

Well that's the end of the bulb. No going back !!. It would have been nice if it had exploded into a thousand pieces but still great fun. Shot in daylight in the garden with no back drop so you might be able to see a few ghosts in the background from a bench didn't see it on the camera at the time.
The smoke was thick, and you could hear the fire crackling as it consumed the vegetation - then suddenly another tree would explode into flames. The ground crews waited impatiently for the planes to drop the fire retardant. After several passes to scope out the hottest spots, the retardant was dropped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
