Explosión y derrumbe de edificio en calle Salta al 2100 de la ciudad de Rosario, Argentina, acontecido el 06/08/2013 /// Explosion and building collapse in Rosario, Argentine, on August 6, 2013
The inside of an abandoned industrial complex near where I work. Numerous busted windows in the front of the building allowed excellent indoor photography without a trespass.
I think this was once a chemical plant. I did notice that the lighting and electrical work is "explosion proof" meaning it was designed to operate in areas "where flammable petrochemical vapors and/or pulverized dust exist or have the potential to exist."
De volta às composições com estouros de branco. Nessa tecnica revista, forço a superexposicão da cena atraves de aberturas maiores ou de maiores tempos de exposicao à luz. Para deixar a foto um pouco mais diferente introduzi uma vinheta no lightroom para dar um destaque ao ambiente e mesmo assim reforçar a luz sobre o elemento principal.

Vicksburg, Mississippi est. 1825, pop. (2013) 23,542 • MS Delta
Marker: Plenty of Firepower
“Ironclads like the USS Cairo came equipped with 13 heavy cannon. It took a crew of six men to position and fire each gun. As Cairo prowled the rivers north of Vicksburg, it could use its cannon to pound Confederate forts, battle enemy gunboats, and sink shipments of supplied headed to Confederate armies.
"Armor Plated: Interlocking iron plates, like the ones you can see to the left of the cannon, protected the pilothouse and sloping casemates from enemy fire. Behind the 2-1/2 inch thick plates were white oak planks 12 to 25 inches thick. When the iron plates took a hit, their wooden backing kept them from shattering.
"More Iron Needed: Look to your right beyond the walkway. Cairo's crew added those iron railroad rails to protect the boat's exposed forward casemate.”

La toma 2300
Intente crear una explosión de gotas que parezca que salen de un volcan en medio de la naturaleza.........nada mas lejano, simplemente es: paso a explicarlo...
lo de delante desenfocado es un poco de cemento de una baldosa del suelo
el fondo son unas maderas de las que se utilizan para las jardineras
las gotas estan pegadas despues de la lluvia en la madera que a su vez tiene una hoja en una telaraña vieja, por eso la sensación que suben para arriba.........
¿ a que despues de la explicación lo veis super claro, jejejeje?, un saludo a tod@s, y perdonar por el tostón.

House Gas Explosion
This once beautiful house suffered a gas explosion tonight at around 9:50pm. There was a young couple and their baby inside at the time. They escaped and were taken to the hospital.
The call came in as a priority: A massive explosion on 41st Street between Lexington and 3rd Aves. From the sound of the transmission, the first firemen on the scene just happen to be across the street at the time. I heard the urgency in the firemans voice and for a split second I thought of September 11th. He called it in as a possible transformer fire. It was definitely steam and not smoke.
