my first exploding cake - fun and fairly easy to do. Need to work on ensuring the fondant stays on the wires.
Heat, alcohol and carbon dioxide are the main byproducts of primary fermentation by yeast. The effect of these in a closed container can be significant, especially when it's full and there's no headroom for the gas to compress within.
Primary fermentation of saignee was so quick this year, we couldn't keep the stoppers on these barrels. Every time you walked by, there'd be another plug lying on the ground -- I'm amazed no one was hit by a flying stopper. Whey they were all really going we were hosing the darn things off about 10x a day. Not even removing juice seemed to help -- they were just gassy.
Okay, the humorous idea I had from the beginning, full of puns and food. I keep thinking of food for some reason. Anyway, here I tried to combine the bowl of Rice Krispies (snap, CRACKLE, pop) and a falling KRACKLE candy bar. It's REALLY hard to time that with an old camera and... counting. But I like the last attempt a lot!
Puffball mushrooms are a group of fungi known for their unique way of dispersing spores. When mature, these mushrooms release a cloud of brown spores in a visible "puff" when touched, stepped on, or impacted by raindrops—hence the name "puffball."
They are typically round or pear-shaped and can range in size from a few centimeters to over 50 cm in diameter, depending on the species. Common types include:
Common Puffball (Lycoperdon perlatum)
Giant Puffball (Calvatia gigantea)
Field Puffball (Bovista plumbea)
Stop Motion Video of this being made, and a video of it spinning and finally exploding in slow motion are on youtube @ www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvkAGeevHpo

Made with Nanodots, 5D Mark II DSLR with 100mm Macro, and 24-70mmL, GoPro HD Hero2, and soon to come a 3d version.
I used an air compressor to get the top up to speed.
The top is so stabile I ended up having to slighly bend out the struts to get it to fail. Had to also build it twice because the top fell on the floor after spinning it a couple times. Did the stop motion in betweem the first and second build.
The whole thing takes around 2300 dots to complete.

Difficulty probably a 4-5/10

Chinese New Year 2016
Chinese New Year is the most important day in China's calendar and also one of the most colourful celebrations in the UK. As always the event was celebrated in style today Sunday 7th February 2016 in Liverpool's Chinatown. The Chinese New Year celebrations start on the first day of the lunar month and continue until the fifteenth day.
According to traditional Chinese belief, the lion signifies courage, stability and superiority. The lion’s dance is performed to chase away ghosts and evil spirits, and since the monsters, ghosts, evil spirits and giants like Nian are afraid of loud noises, the dance has become a natural complement to the fire crackers' noise. Clashing cymbals, a gong and drums usually accompany this lively scene. The dramatic climax of the Lion Dance is the "Cai Qing" or 'Picking the Green'. The green here refers to vegetable leaves which are tied to a piece of string which also has a red packet attached containing money. The string is hung above the door of the business, shop (or home), and the lion 'eats' both, the leaves and the red packet. Lying on the floor the leaves are 'chewed' by the lion while the musicians play a dramatic rolling crescendo. The lull is broken as the lion explodes back into activity, spitting out the leaves. This is a symbolic act of blessing by the lion, with the spitting out of the leaves signifying that there will be an abundance of everything in the coming year.
The Dragon dance (simplified Chinese: 舞龙; traditional Chinese: 舞龍; pinyin: wǔ lóng) is a form of traditional dance and performance in Chinese culture. Like the lion dance it is most often seen in festive celebrations. The dance is performed by a team of dancers who manipulate a long flexible figure of a dragon using poles positioned at regular intervals along the length of the dragon. The dance team mimics the supposed movements of the river spirit…
A bag made with a piece of the 'unikko'-fabric and a fat quarter received in a swap from memmu. I love the red flowers, but you see them everywhere - so I thought, I'd do something different with it. The backside of the bag and the one side of the strap are black corduroy, and inside there is red cotton and a magnetic snap.
First try with high speed photography on balloons. Not really sharp. Ahwell doesn't have to be perfect right away.
The farm Exploder. I was playing with photoshop trying to get the middle of the night look. This is behind my garage in the Horse square pen where we feed them and currently storing our Belgium who does not respect electric fence. This Exploder was given to me because it had a blown head gasket. I have since drug off a brake line, knocked out a side window, drug in a ton of wood with it, and mowed over a bunch of wild roses. It always starts and never over heats. Yes it has a leaky head gasket. American engineering at it's best. Great driveline and a frame which will never rust out. I may cut the rear roof off and title it and drive it to work.
It's quite dfficult to get a struck match's flame to spread out in this way i.e. almost throughout 360 degrees... It's even more difficult to photograph it, but interesting to do. Best viewed LARGE.
This is the corner of a downtown building. There were a few rows of Christmas lights and some other incidental lights closer to my camera as I looked up. I used a 17-85mm zoom lens and some camera movement to get the "explosion" effect. The planes of the walls are painted in by reflected light.
So, been playing around with old images on Photoshop all day and this was basically the result. Let me know what you think...its a edit of this
