Take a tennis ball, fill it with diesel fuel, stick it on a dowel, stick a fire cracker in the ball and start taking continuous images. Take the one frame out of 300, tweak it up in color, hate it, convert it to B&W which is better, sharpen it a tad, turn the image down a little in Curves and change hue to sepia and play with that in color levels.
I will be very interested in any comments. I'm having a great time producing this type of imagery.

How's this for a comment: "Wow!"
Do a series, blow 'em up large, print 'em on canvas, and sell 'em for big bucks. Seriously. At the very least, you should be able to earn enough to buy some sweet lenses.
Fantastic idea, Tom. Looking forward to more like this! :)

I agree with Rod. Very inventive and unique. Great idea.
Just two things tho, can you graduate / blur the areas between the ball and background more and the top flame(?) is uncomfortable cut-off.
Complements to the artist.

Another of your abstract - love it as well as the "process description". The title fits too (not like Noch Leben - IŽm joking...). I also think you should pay attention to what Rod says - sell your pictures and youŽll pbolably became rich and famous... Martin

I wish you luck at rich and famous, as long as you don't stop posting here and detailing your process. This has been a top notch lesson in creativity. Cudos to you Tom. Oh.... btw, the abstract is magnificent.
Glad you are having a great day
