Rock-afire Explosion was invented by this guy, Aaron Fechter back in the 80s and appeared in Showbiz Pizzas. Aaron's company, Creative Engineering, is based in Orlando, Florida. He put on a great show for the Madden development team at EA this past Christmas, and I asked him if I could take his picture at his building. It took us a while, but we managed to find a time that worked for us both.
The area proved relatively challenging to get lighting setup due to a very wide, but shallow room. It was a great learning experience, and I'm grateful to Aaron for letting me come out and get a bit of on location experience. My goal was to really put him there with the band as it is an icon of the 80s that he created.
The dog is Aaron's albino Doberman. Very cool dog.

Nikon SB-26 camera right into 24" softbox on a boom. My goal was to use this as a hair light, but my positioning changed and with the angle I was shooting up… it didn't work out the way I planned.
Canon 580EXII zoomed and into an umbrella for fill directed at Aaron.
Nikon SB-26 into an umbrella stage center, hanging from the ceiling by a super clamp.
The major technical problem in this shot, and one I wish I had noticed earlier is that one of my lights is in the family of angles from the keyboard. I needed to position a gobo to keep the reflection to a minimum… lesson learned.
Mud explosion in the Gunnuhver geothermal area. The road was partly destroyed by the formation of new mud pools in 2008 and this one has ejected mud tens of metres into the air. This particular outburst reached about 5m.
Alberto Magnelli (1888-1971) - Explosion Lyrique no. 7 (1918). In the Collezioni Civiche Fiorentine. Shown at a temporary exhibition "Alberto Magnelli: Armocromie" at Museo del Novecento, Florence November 2022-February 2023.
Eva Francioli, the curator of the exhibition, comments: "At the end of the 1910s, Alberto Magnelli's imagination was captured in particular by the sense of mystery surrounding African sculpture and the rigour of the chromatic deconstruction of Orphic Cubism. Continuing his experimentation with colour, he created increasingly vibrant and dynamic compositions. (...) In keeping with its title, the painting is an explosion of joy, often linked by critics to the euphoria unleashed by the end of the Great War. (...) The heart of the vomposition is two stylised female figures, which seem to give off a provocatively sensual bursting emotional charge thet captures and engages the viewer with its vivacity."
¡Ojalá todas las explosiones fueran como ésta, llena de luz y color! ... para que no tengamos que lamentar mas víctimas del terrorismo.

This is the scene of a mayor explosion that happened yesterday in Gibraltar! An oil storage tank exploded in the port of Gibraltar yesterday afternoon, just metres from where a cruise ship was berthed.
The explosion blew the lid off the tank and sent a fireball high into the air. The buckled steel lid lay on the quayside on the Western Arm metres away from the tank, indicating the force of the explosion.The site is an ex-Mod sullage plant (Oil treament plant) but now belongs to a local company. It is situated on what we call the North Mole.
On Saturday the 20 of September 2008, I was putting up campaign signs on a street corner when suddenly a building about a block away caught fire.
I got to get up close and take good pictures before the police and other authorities arrived and kicked everyone out of the block.
8 fire trucks arrives, three police cars and one ambulance. Nobody as hurt, except for minor firefighter exhaustion.
The building was a auto body shop that was beginning to close. It is believed that it was used to grow marijuana and do some sort of car business. There were explosions from within the building during the fire, but the walls remained intact.

Well I moved the microphone another 4cm closer to the explosion (any closer and it will be the explosion) and gained some microseconds. This is a much better image of the shock waves.
To explain the image, its a few tens of milligrams of silver acetylide that is detonated with the hot nichrome wire visible in the picture as a glowing coil. The shock waves are hitting an aluminum U-channel with a bunch of holes drilled into it that let the shock wave through. I'm using a rainbow cutoff that is spread in two dimensions that shows all directions of the shock wave using the different colors.
The mirror has a thin glass pane protecting the mirror.
Cheers.
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.”

This pic is as close as I can come to a firework.
Today is my 1 year anniversary with Flickr. In this time I’ve met many friends that have taught me much about photography. Also in this time I’ve posted slightly more than 500 photos, written (and received) countless comments and FAVed my contacts (and others) great work. 41 of my pics even made it to explorer (with help from you all) and I have received over 26000 views.
This is all to say THANK YOU (and I meant to yell).

A construction called "Explosion," by Sergio Castillo, in front of Boston University's College of Communication.
P1050628 i heard a loud explosion in Brussels centre, a few minutes later the sky started filling with smoke. Fortunately it was not a bomb. Apparently a bakery had gone up, at the time local people on TV said they thought it was probably due to unrest in the local population. The next day we headed back to England the the riots and looting there.
