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.

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.

Mammoth’s popular visitor sites are dependent upon the area’s volcanic history, steaming hot water, and a system of small fissures running throughout the entire region. Approximately 600,000 years ago, Yellowstone experienced a catastrophic volcanic explosion that left behind a molten magma chamber. This chamber serves as the key ingredient in supplying the area with the hot water needed to form the region’s renowned terraces. As rain and snow trickle down from Yellowstone’s slopes, cold ground water seeps deep underneath the park’s surface through a series of small cracks. The molten magma chamber then heats the water, forcing it back above the surface in over fifty hot springs lining the Mammoth area. During this cycle, the water joins forces with carbon dioxide gasses to form an acidic solution. As the water/acid solution journeys to the surface, it dissolves and picks up underground limestone deposits. Upon reaching the oxygenated surface, the carbon dioxide gasses escape, leaving the liquefied limestone to harden into travertine terraces.

As the sun rises a wave crashes off the rocks in Acadia National Park, Maine. The Thunder Hole area in Acadia produces some of the most spectacular wave action to be found. On this particular day the wind, coming in strong from the east, was helping quite a bit.
