What Happens When you drop a Smarties in a glass of water

It look neat.

Notice the dirt looking glass. i cleaned and cleaned and cleaned the glass. them i realize it not a dirt glass at all, its actually micro-chips in the glass and the flash is reflecting off them, making them look like dirt marks.........

gos to show just how difficult it is it get a clean shot, so many things to prepare and thing of when setting up a shot.......still it looks ok.

What would Happen if i Pulled The String on this Door

Its a Trap, i was sitting there in the boss's office waiting for him to get off the phone when i spotted this little dummy sitting on his desk, "well", i said to myself, i bet theres a frog with his pants down reading a newspaper inside that thing. NO I WAS WRONG, it was a trap with no escape......it reminds me of an old (and now, true) saying something about not touching stuff that ant yours, well something like that.........

What happens when you pop a party popper

i got nothing to say on this one. the photo kind of says it all......

this is one of my early high speed photos and i cant remember the settings i used, except to say that it was very fast almost instant after the sound. these things really do pop fast......


What Happens When you Throw a 3 minute Egg at a Plate


Well, it will Break,,,,something like this.

when i set this shot up i said to my son "now you pelt that egg as hard as you can onto that plate, well he took me serious cause i didn't expect the egg to fly into pieces like this.

What happens when you take an Axe to your printer

If you have a printer that has been really really really upsetting you, then you may feel like doing this....beleive me it is really satisfying, really really satisfying.......

the best thing about this is the printer will never ever play up on you again.

Camera tech stuff

same as for the keyboard, except the flash was set to 1/2 power and i used my son to swing the Axe, he almost enjoyed as much as i did......


New Photos about what happens when.


Hi this is my attempt at showing "what happens when" you freeze an event part way thought. for example what happens when you drop you keyboard on the ground.......well heres what happens. see everything bounces off the keyboard.

well ok, to tell the truth you would have to throw the keyboard at the ground to bounce all the keys off it like this. i rigged this shot by removing all the keylocks holding the keys on the board. but it still looks good... and if you really pegged the keyboard at the floor it would look something like this.......
