An amazing view of the Trojan Nuclear Plan cooling tower implosion. It was the first time in the world a cooling tower had been imploded. The thing was nearly as tall as the pyramid of Giza. So while photographically it isn't what I consider excellent - but it was sure cool being there and experiencing something so unique.
Updated: My first photo to make it in Explore. It reached #80 on August 3rd, 2006.

Shard from Sky Garden,
20, Fenchurch Street,
London.
TAKEN - 3.21p.m. Tue 15th Dec'20
Designed by architect Rafael Viñoly and costing over £200 million, 20 Fenchurch Street features a highly distinctive top-heavy form which appears to burst upward and outward. The entrance floor and 34 floors of office space are topped by a large viewing deck. A bar and restaurants are included on the 35th, 36th and 37th floors; these are, with restrictions, open to the public.
The tower was originally proposed at nearly 200 m (656 ft) tall but its design was scaled down after concerns about its visual impact on the nearby St Paul's Cathedral and Tower of London. It was subsequently approved in 2006 with the revised height. Even after the height reduction there were continued concerns from heritage groups about its impact on the surrounding area. The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Ruth Kelly, called in the project for another public inquiry. The project was consequently the subject of a public inquiry; in 2007 this ruled in the developers' favour and the building was granted full planning permission. In 2015 it was awarded the Carbuncle Cup for the worst new building in the UK in the previous 12 months.
It's not really. It is just a unfilled Christmas bulb blowing up.
Theses shot are neat to clean up as I can't find any parts to sweep up.
The pieces are just too small.
They become part of the debris ambient noise level in my garage.
Cheers.
I watched the implosion of the old Christchurch Police Station last night. Christchurch May 31, 2015 New Zealand.
You can see in the first photo of this set of shots of the implosion, the sun was still on the building that was when the first explosion went off and nothing seem to happen. Then the next explosion went off and that is when the building started to fall.

At 3am, after about 7 hours of shooting with Michael Shainblum, I decided to try a little something different. This was created in camear. No photoshop tricks necessary
