A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from the nuclear reaction of fission or from a combination of fission and fusion. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter; a modern thermonuclear weapon weighing little more than a ton can produce an explosion comparable to the detonation of more than a billion kilograms of conventional high explosive. The largest nuclear weapon ever detonated, the Tsar Bomba, had a yield of approximately 50 megatons of TNT and even small nuclear devices with yields equivalent to only a few thousand tons of TNT can devastate a city. Because of their extreme destructive power, nuclear devices are weapons of mass destruction.
..."Se quanto hai già trovato è fatto di materia pura, non potrà mai marcire. E tu, un giorno, potrai tornare. Se è soltanto un attimo di luce, come l'esplosione di una stella, allora non ritroverai più nulla quando ritornerai. Ma avrai visto un'esplosione di luce. E anche solo per questo ne sarà valsa la pena!!!"...
Paulo Coelho.
..." If what you've found is made of pure matter , will never rot . And you, one day you'll come back . If it is only a moment of light , as the explosion of a star , then you 'll find yourself more than anything when you return . But you will have seen an explosion of light . And the only reason it will be worth it "...

Almost there! Back half of a bubble, mid-explosion.
I was originally trying to capture a side view of this, but I think I'll need to enlist an assistant for that. I don't have any depth perception while looking through the viewfinder so I have to sort of stab at the bubble, instead of sneaking up beside it.
What I like most about this shot is that It how lucky it was, I think if this had been my vision in the first place I would have never been able to get a shot like this.

In typical brilliant Toronto planning fashion (esp for the old city of York, in the Downsview neighborhood) they thought having a propane facility right across the street from a residential neighborhood would be a great idea. On Aug 10, 2008, due to human stupidity, there was a huge explosion and the one death on site was the attendant who did not cause the explosion in the first place as well as a firefighter on scene who had a fatal heart attack. The nearby highway (the only one) was shut down for most of the next day as well as some flights in and out of the airport.
These photos are from 5 years after the explosion and many of the houses had been updated. Not sure what if anything can go on this site, but in this city I wouldn't surprised if it was condos.

I apologize for the ring of fire in my shots, I was testing a camera I obviously did not keep.
¡Ojalá todas las explosiones fueran como ésta, llena de luz y color! ... para que no tengamos que lamentar mas víctimas del terrorismo.

Weapon of "mass" destruction according to the mass-energy conversion formula E = mc^2.
A web find. Anyone notice the clown face in the explosion?
Raindrops on a window (and a street light in the back) are nothing special, you would think, but I bet the different!
So the first shot is quite normal, right? Maybe even a little cliché. But the second shot becomes a little more interesting, because of the out of focus and the bokeh. And when you do a third shot with the out of focus and moving a little with your camera, you get something special, I would say, like an explosion of light or an outburst of something...
I didn't mean to do these shots, but I like how it turned out. Maybe I have to experiment more with the focus sometimes, haha! =)

Police have arrested a man following an explosion at a house in Blackley.
Shortly after 12.25pm on Monday 16 January 2017, officers were called to reports of an explosion at an address on Cecil Road.
Serious damage was caused to two properties, with some minor damage to surrounding premises.
Residents of surrounding homes were evacuated for a short time.
Following the incident, two men remain in hospital. One is in a critical condition and the other is in a stable condition.
One of whom, a 33-year-old man, has been arrested on suspicion of causing an explosion to endanger life. He is the man in a stable condition.
The scene is still being investigated and enquiries are ongoing.
Detective Inspector Dave Sinclair, of GMP’s City of Manchester Team, said: “This was a devastating incident which has left two people in hospital with serious injuries and destroyed part of a terraced street.
“Good progress is being made as we continue to investigate the cause of the explosion, but we still need to hear from anyone who believes they have any information about what happened.
“The house is now being treated as a crime scene. Given the problematic working conditions, it may be several days before we will be able to return the street to normality.
“I would like to thank the community for their continued co-operation as police, the local authority and other emergency services remain at the scene to carry on with the investigation.
“My officers will be on hand in the local area and will be updating members of the public with information as we progress this investigation.
“If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to approach and speak to my officers at the scene or contact the local neighbourhood officers.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 0161 856 3101 and quote the reference number 880 of 16/01/17, or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Many small but frequent explosions doing their part to widen the crack ripping open part of the crater rim.

Behind the scenes: music video shooting for Punany Massif, utolsó tánc: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LQc-LtRdrI
I've been wanting to work with small gas/oxygen explosions using bubbles to see if I can get a good shock wave for some microsecond photographs. I started this evening with propane/oxygen but didn't get a good pop. The "explosive" range for acetylene is wider so I decided to switch after a while.
The pop was much more impressive. I'm just guessing on the proper ratio but got pretty close with a few tries. I'm probably near 50/50 with this video. It is shot at a high frame rate, about 8000fps so the resolution is poor. As I kind of feared my poor glass bubble holder didn't survive too many tries. I'll have to think about a better bubble holder, maybe copper wire.
Update: The idea didn't work. The light from the oxy/acetylene explosion is too bright to be used in combination with my microsecond flash. Maybe I'll try oxy/hydrogen.
Cheers.
