I guess you'll have to cut and paste the link since it won't work here.
Thanks

It wasn't patience I set the camera set shoot 3 frames per second. Waited for the start of the explosions and held the shutter until the buffer was full.

Dang impressive. Congrats on the HM. I think even just a little more contrast would have given this a bit more "oomph".

Nice capture, but I think I would have tried to color adjust a bit more. Maybe I just like that over-processed look? Cheers!

Wow, this is one of those moments that you could say "I was in the right moment @ the right place !! ", don't you think ?

Very good

Great timing. Is that debris in the air or dust on the lens?
 01/12/2012 02:55:38 PM

nice shot but demolition waste isnt garbage imho, not marking you down for it just saying ;) tones are a bit muted and its more a photo jopurnalist shot than take an appealing photo of an otherwise not so appealing scene... so as interesting as it is for a digger driver geek its not that appealing in its warmth and colours.

Whoa! COOL capture!!!

It doesn't say "garbage" to me... (but neither does mine)... but ... wow! What an image!
