Using the reflection in the bubbles, I masterfully recreated your shed using the highest technology available:And I thought my shed was always a partially secretive place .

100 plastic washing-up bottles
40 rolls of sticky back plastic
I had to get an adult to do the cutting out as I'm not trusted with scissors.
Then once I sprayed it in different shades of brown, I painstakingly took a photo of it using a pinhole camera. When the photograph was ready and dry from processing, I scanned it then plonked it on here.
See all this modern technology
Ho hum....I can see it being one of those days!

Tel and Paul, I can see you kids having fun
Remind me again how old are you two?
And I thought I was the one who was a teenager around here aha.
Paul, where the heck do you dig out those funny characters? Teach us how to do it .
Tel, I have just butchered one of my remotes, now all I see here is a jumble of wires and some green plate with some soldering dots on it, do you know what that is?

For the 5th night in a row I was up till 3am so with nothing else to do I end up coming to my favourite site (yes, it's this one - I never sign out). So I play with Google images...cor what a sad life I have. Then I am up at 7am feeling fresh as a daisy.
Anywho...the reason for the orange hair is cos you have been fried...try it, frazzle yourself. Dark hair goes orange, blonde hair, like mine, gets nuked and smells of BBQ'd dog.
What is this thread about again::::

Tracy... Give him a huge list of stuff to bring, he needs more fresh air, keep him outside for a little longer, and make him cook dinner when he comes home, keep him away from the computer, , its too addictive for him

Surely can't be that coloured smoke that I sent you in bags by Royal mail is it? That was supposed to be just for photographic experiment, not to be puffed . That has a kick like a mule, no wonder you can't sleep at nights for 5 days

I think I better go rummage in the kitchen and see what is there for breakfast, stomach rumbling now.
Then might drop by Pizza Express for one of these

It's most definetly not through choice...having approx 20 hours sleep in the last 120 hours, that's so not good. Then having to do a full days work on the computer...it's a killer! [quote:3496ace15f="paullucas"]

Go for it Amin!
In the link you put up, there are a couple of suggested books by Harold Egerton. I have another of his books called Stopping Time - a whole load of his piccies. He was a pioneer in this field.
He has some piccies taken early 1950s of atomic bombs going off, 'freezing' the mushroom cloud in the first few microseconds of going off and an exposure time of 1/100,000,000 second (can't do that with your K20D!).
I wouldn't suggest you try that in your shed
The camera set-up was 7 miles away!

Amin grossly overestimated the voltage required to power his trigger, subsequently he wiped out the whole neighbourhood
