Not every idea is good, but most may be!

Look, Hive account@truconspiracy is my boy from way back. We enjoy having fun together, and even getting out of our normal comfort zones. I had been thinking about a potential new series of making some interesting photo shoots with other steemians. I thought that some action shots would be a good idea.

Thankfully, Hive account@truconspiracy agreed, and we got some firecrackers and milk. Here is the basic process for capturing some great photos of another steemian.

HOW TO

STEP 1 - Light a firecracker.

STEP 2 - Place it in a shallow container of milk.

STEP 3 - Wait patiently and let the anticipation build.

STEP 4 - Let it blow!

MILK WORKS WELL FOR EXPERIMENTS LIKE THIS

Since milk is not a clear liquid, it can show up very well in photos and videos. The exploding firecracker blasts the milk into all sorts of directions, and the load percussion of the explosion adds some good facial expressions in response.

Ultimately, when done "safely," this can be a very rewarding experience. I'm looking forward to meeting up with some other steemians for some more photo shoots!

For those of you who would like to enjoy the full making of this experiment, here is the video.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

This actually worked out much better than we were planning. Eventually I would like to be able to get shots from multiple angles too, but we will see.

The blast and the milk flying everywhere was impressive to observe and experience. @Truconspiracy says that on a scale of 1 to 15, we would rate the experience at a 13.5 as far as how fulfilling it was for him. The only room for improvement that he was able to think of would have been being able to drink the milk.
