Taken with a make highspeed kit and a panasonic FZ50.
DONT TRY THIS AT HOME BECAUSE OF THE DANGEROUS MERCURY contained within the bulbs..
shot with a .22 airgun pellet.
see all sizes.
Setup for Eruption followed Ryan Taylor's excellent Water Figure Tutorial.
I forgot to shoot the setup at the time so I have recreated it.
Out of picture, my pc is running Multisine 1.74. Using the headphone output I have then connected my pc via the Mic input to an old stereo (at the the top of the picture) which is connected to the speaker.
The speaker was wrapped in clingfilm, and a small amount of a 50:50 cornflour (cornstarch)-water mix was placed on top.
Due to the small space, I could not get the legs of my Giottos MTL9361B tripod splayed wide enough to drop the camera in line with the top of the speaker. So I moved the centre column into the lateral position and hund the camera upside down off my Manfrotto 322RC2 ball head.
The lights on the landing and bedroom behind were turned off and at f/16 I ran a 5 second exposure. Using my wireless remote shutter I triggered the camera. During the 5 second exposure I activated a 0.2 sec pulse at a frequency of 120Hz on my pc and using a PT-04 wireless flash trigger in the other hand tried to time the flash to coincide with the sound. This took several attempts to time it right, and in actual fact the final Eruption shot is actually a blend in CS3 of two images in order to increase the drama.
The ghosting in Eruption is not an artefact of blending the two images, but due to some double triggering of the flashes when I pressed the remote trigger.
The pink/orange hues in the conflour-water mix of the final shot are, I think, attributable to the flashes bouncing off the bare plaster walls. This was not intended but presumably it would have helped to soften the light as specular highlights are not too much of a problem.
The final edit involved usual adjustments in LR3.6 to saturation, levels, sharpening etc together with burning in CS3 to darken the background which in the original shot I felt was distracting.

I was driving home yesterday when I saw this in the field. It had rained really badly, but there were some clouds left in the sky. The sun was shining really bright behind the clouds and it resulted in these awesome sun rays. I was like I HAVE to shoot this. Even my mom recognized the awesomeness of this shot so she drove back a bit so that I could take this shot. I must say that I had hoped for it to be a better shot, but in the end I still like it a lot :)
Actually it's an HDR from three exposure created using the auto exposure bracketing.
I had a fan request a tutorial for Jeremy Shafer's Exploding Envelope. I usually don't like teaching others' designs, but I had fun with this tutorial, especially at the end.

Nice exploding Meteor. Recording made on 20th August 2020 at 03:37:32 GMT
Camera is looking slightly north of East from the southern end of Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, UK
so guys. i really wanna SLR.
QUESTION: tell me what SLR you use and why you love it.
I am thinking of saving for a t1i and then *maybe* for a 50mm f/1.4 prime lens. I have a 50 1.4 on my film camera but I want the usability and the ability to see the results right away, thus digital.
i hope its a good choice, its a lot of money!
I made some firecrackers with some homemade black powder and needed a test subject. Henry was a willing and cheerful volunteer. The biggest problem I had was the residual smoke from the fuse, so I'm working on an electronic trigger to set off the black powder.
