This shot was taken with the shutter held open on an olympus E-1 in a completely dark room. An FL-50 flash unit was triggered by a push-button switch mounted under the base of the light bulb. When the hammer struck the bulb, the button tripped the wire, and fired the strobe.

Enjoy.

I've never done these but have always been a big Edgerton fan. I've always wanted to try. Messy, but not as dangerous as the one with bullets.

The photographs are addictive.

I liked the landscapes. I related to the one of Colorado Springs which has grown considerably since I went to school there.

I went to Colorado College, too, but back in the fifties. It was a pleasant small town. I left after two years to have children, husbands, etc. Finally graduated a bit further from Colorado in Charleston, South Carolina in 1985.

That is a fantastic photo of the lightening......it is to me, I love lightening like that. I have seen that kind of display over the ocean, out of this world.

very cool - i like your technique. I see you have some earlier experiments in the gallery also... Yes, there are lots of ways of taking high speed shots. I'd like to try them all. -w
neet stuff, but it looks messy... :dunno Yes, it gets quite messy. It helps to have a basement you don't care about at all and a good system for minimizing the amount of glass that gets tracked around the house. -w
I've never done these but have always been a big Edgerton fan. I've always wanted to try. Messy, but not as dangerous as the one with bullets. I tried shooting a playing card lengthwise (my favorite edgerton shot), but the bb wasn't even close to powerful enough. Maybe someday... -w

ginger Thank you so much ginger for your kind words. It makes me very happy to hear that you are enjoying my photos. Colorado College is certainly a wonderful place. I wish I could have seen it when the Springs was still a small town. Charleston is also a very special place. I'd like to get to know it better. -w

Feeling a bit destructive?? Thanks; I'm glad you like it. Destructive??? I like to think of it as creative! -w
