On the morning of December 6th, 1917, the most violent man-made explosion before the atomic bomb rocked Halifax harbour, in Nova Scotia, Canada, when a Norwegian vessel collided with a French munitions ship. The blast completely flattened everything within 800 meters, sent shrapnel flying for several kilometers, and started a tsunami that demolished whole communities. More than 1900 people died that day, and 10,000 suffered horrific, life-long injuries. Flying glass from windows throughout the city, blinded thousands as they stood watching the fire moments before the big explosion. The stories of both tragedy and heroism are plentiful, and are fascinating to learn about. The hands on the clock at city hall remain permanently fixed at 9:04:35 AM; stopped at the exact moment of the explosion.

Giant Explosion in North Toronto. This is the second explosion. The first one almost shook me out of bed. This one happened about 7 minutes later. The fireball was much bigger than this in total and was so bright I had to shield my eyes. I've never seen anything like it. The sound came a minute later. Again the whole building shook, although nowhere near as much as the first one.
This is my first attempt at developing and scanning my film.

After a ground-shaking lightning storm, the clouds began to clear as the sun dipped below the Tetons and released an array of color and light.
For the GIBrick contest.
Oh, and in case you don't get it, it's supposed to be the guy shooting a soldier with a grenade launcher, that transparent rod bein the trajectory of the grenade.
... or how 5 minutes of light made my day. The forecast was rain, snow, clouds... just what I had the previous two days and not very encouraging for a traveller with limited time. These 5 minutes were enough to keep me in a good mood for the rest of the day :-)
There has been an explosion of painted ladies here at home for the last 4 days. I have too many shots. 😀😀
Autumn color creeping into the background here. 😠😠
The sun just exploded from behind the clouds, over Vík beach in southern Iceland - it was quite spectacular. A bit unhappy with the blown-outness and sun flares, but still like the shot.
I just feel too fascinated by fire and explostion (especially car explosion), these days.
Mon âme est en feu,
et tout ce que je veux,
c'est m'envoler ;
En respirant,
rien qu'un instant,
toute cette noire fumé.

Taken at The Town of Beacon Falls Fireworks
July 9th, 2011
Beacon Falls, CT
I'm not going to go and ruin your future experimentation by giving you step by step instructions on how I did this (incase you feel inspired by this in any way), but i'll at least tell you that I did NOT use Photoshop to create this. I used only my tripod and camera.
I was getting kind of bored shooting photographs of single bursts of fireworks, at this past year's 4th of July's firework display. I wanted to capture the fireworks from a completely different perspective, and luckily, I feel like i was more than successful in doing so.
I started getting experimental as the shutter was being held open, and I couldn't have been more amazed, or more surprised to see this abstract image on the LCD. I began taking a whole bunch of shots similar to this, until I finally nailed the effect of what i wanted to do, and how I wanted to do it. I pointed my lens towards the general area where most of the fireworks were bursting at, and i guess I just timed this perfectly to be able to pull it off... even better and more interesting than I had expected.
