Those are just spectacular. I'm pretty much gobsmacked.

Thanks, high speed photography has its rewards
You never know what you're going to get until you look at the screen after the shot.
This involved an egg being shot with an air rifle.

food colouring in a balloon - you can just see the pellet emerging from the back of it



and a 'smashing' light bulb. This was taken with the flash at minimum power which gives 1/41600th sec.

This one was a lucky shot in a way. I was heading off early to "Waitomo caves" in New Zealand and the sun was coming up as I went past this deer farm. Good thing I had the 18-200mm on the D40 again.

Nice! Focus is where it needs to be.

Thanks.Used f/11 instead of wide open and made a huge difference.

Phones are getting better and better
I took this with an old compact camera while climbing a mountain in the snow.

Agree... And with photo apps, you can get some amazing photos and effects.

Beautiful photo!

Took this early in the morning

I always forget to think of silhouettes when doing portraits, I like it.

....

Always love to see your work. The color and detail are amazing. Super jelly of skillz.

Posting after Jody is a tough spot to take!


Some moonrise pics taken with my telescope while in Arizona earlier this week. Got lucky that it rose right behind a saguaro. I was hoping it would, but didn't know where it would appear.

These two were way overexposed as I had been trying some astrophotography and had the ISO way up. The actual moonrise came sooner than I expected, so I wasn't quite prepared. But I think they're cool since it looks like the sun is coming up.

I've tried to get the moon at the horizon and always miss it. If you try again, bracket your shoots, you'll have a better chance of hitting exposure since you only have limited time.

Cool moon shots,cool surfing shots...lots of good pics in here.

My contribution today.

Plumed Whistling Ducks in the paddock near the house.

Have you tried post processing any of your work yet?

It really is a pleasure viewing your work. I'm a hiker as well and love the mountains. This summer I will be staying over night at Zeacliffs on Zealand Mountain. It was named so because it resembled the beauty of New Zealand. Would love to visit there someday.

Thanks, there's no shortage of decent scenery in New Zealand. I live on the north island which is not as spectacular as the south island but has its beauty.

A little with DPP,mainly brightness and highlights,shadows.

I just got a disc of Lightroom a couple of days ago,and now have some learning to do.

Here's a piece of copper wire exploding on the surface of a propane filled balloon.



It didn't ignite the gas so I placed the balloon inside the barbeque with a candle next to it to do the job

It does look like the countryside here.... only a bit warmer.

Tutorials... watch a bunch from different artists. It's really interesting to see how different the work flows are, yet each have it's own beauty. I'm still struggling to develop mine and find I go back and re-edit photos as I learn more. If you're anything like me, you'll spend the first 3 months over processing and frying the hell out of your photos.

I have a feeling you just like to blow sh*t up.

I was going to say, I bet you're really popular with the neighbors!


This is Haemanthus coccineus, a summer dormant bulb from South Africa. It flowers in the late summer just before the leaves come up from the ground.

Neighbors can't complain if they're dead.... nomsayin?

Is this part of your collection?

[DVDowns]

Well actually that does seem to be my reputation on the photography forums
And the book I wrote on it is currently on a free promotion



My previous microwave had a spark plug mounted in it for igniting the acetylene gas produced by calcium carbide mixed with water.



But in the end it lost a battle with an airbag.

[DocHoss]

Is this part of your collection?

Yes. I have a lot of winter-growers from South Africa. I think I have 5 or 6 coccineus, two of which are of flowering size. Here are the big ones this afternoon - the one in front is my first and is the one whose flower I posted. Flowers come up before the leaves.




Also have a bunch of H. albiflos and pauculifoius and 4 deformis, which are evergreen and have white shaving-brush flowers. There's also montanus with pink flowers, sanguineus, and hirsutus. I may have others that slip my mind. And a bunch of other SA bulbs too - Massonia, Cyrtanthus, Boophone, Brunsvigia, Crossyne, Lachenalia, Ornithogalum, Albuca, Gladiolus (not the cultivated varieties, but several cool species), and probably some I'm overlooking. Plus a bunch of seedlings whose names I can't recall offhand.

Water balloons with food colouring

Those are fabulous. Such an organic feel to them, like a sea star or a flower bud.

Colour always makes a huge difference even if a photo is already interesting in what it has captured
A while ago I did some shots with a replica pistol and fireworks.

[DVDowns]

I almost forgot! This is a video I took to determine what timing I needed to photography flames and water coming out of my microwave
