There is a very fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness'.

Darn. You should've use Second Curtain Sync on that last shot, so we'd see the exploded tree

Neat shots. I like your last one best.

This one is on the City Hall reflection pond in downtown Houston...

An incremental explosion: (Note: I cropped off the bottom and turned the vertical into a landscape shot. The reflection didn't add much)



The big boom:



Fun stuff.

Hello,

I used the technique once here ( http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Europe/France/photo258857.htm )
but I don't know if it is better to zoom in or out ...

I cannot remember how I did it (it was my first and only try !)

Plus, how did you exactly proceed for the last image with flash ?

Really nice effect when mastered !

changing the focal length during the exposure.....

Are you sure that the last one was not done with changing the focal length? Doesn't seem like it since the xmas tree is clear & the same size throughout the exposrure, just the lights jump out.

 

[Rob_Drebel]

Typo, should have written 'Are you sure that the last one WAS done with only changing the focal length?'

Seems like another method (Photoshop or some double exposure effect) since again the tree is to crisp.
