About	The Irish space program finally gets off the ground! Not a rocket but the first frame of a lage Chiense firecracker about to explode. I had eight of them and missed all but two fo the explosions. The 20D would run out of frames at the inevitable moment. It was very frustrating. But I did get a couple of shots. The deafening explosion was only outdone my my swearing. Of course I only realised later that if I had taken JPG shots I could have gotten more frames into each burst. Live and learn. Shot with 3200 iso turned on to get a fast shutter speed.

Very cool. I like your tones too. The tones give it a more powerful look.

Thanks John. My ears are still ringing but I'm pretty sure there's no permanent damage, fingers crossed.

Now that's an outstanding shot, right at the peak moment.

Ah what we do in the pursuit of knowledge or art! A long time ago I lost a good percentage of my hearing trying to photograph exploding firecrackers using sound to trigger the strobe. Not one good frame, it was in the days of tri-X and single shot cameras. Thanks for carrying the science forwards. - JB
