Hi Speed Balloon Pop


Hi Speed Balloon Pop

Again, I find myself dreaming of high speed stuff to pop and bang about. I particularly enjoyed popping this balloon with a little bit of water in it. Stay tuned, I have on order some calcium carbide. When it reacts with water it produces acetylene gas and will add a little fire to the project.

High Speed Photography satisfies many urges. The obvious one -photography and the more subtle -blowing things up. I built a sound trigger that when activated by a loud sound a flash will illuminate. Now my dreams are full of what to smash next.
If you are interested the sound trigger plans can be purchased on hiviz.com. I highly recommend getting the delay too.

OC Helicopter Shoot






Helicopter shooting is by far one of the most entertaining types of photography. Nothing like Aerial Photography to get the blood pumping.

I really enjoyed it when the pilot rolls to the side and there is nothing between you and the 500 foot drop except the seat belt that my buddy pointed out to me earlier reminds him of the belts in his old VW. The doors were off and the view was awesome.

Deanna




All the way from West Virginia, DeAnna and Rick are touring the west coast photographers.
Deanna is great to work with. At the end I could not believe how many shots I ended up with.
This was a shoot for Painted Pinups, a local artists who will turn these shots into their own little works of art.

Maria Ruvalcaba






Maria Ruvalcaba in Downtown Los Angeles. What a great person to work with. Seeing how we put her under a bridge and had her dodge what seemed to be a disproportionate amount of strewn underwear. Also, an uneventful wardrobe malfunction on the photogs part leads me to add "extra pair of Jeans" to my standard back up list.
Can't wait for the next Shoot.
See Maria's other work.
