  2. Lá Fhéile Pádraig in Fire and Light

    We were standing across from Cobh in the park on Haulbowline Island to photograph the fireworks display over Cobh on St. Patrick's Day this year. With a camera on a tripod, timing a fireworks display is basically an exercise in optimistic guesswork. When I see the firework launch, I press the shutter button, hope a burst lands in frame, and try not to jostle the camera and tripod as the photo is taken. Sometimes if the burst is impressive I'll forget to take my finger off the shutter button […]

  4. The Valencia Mascletà

    Wikipedia says, “A mascletà (pronounced in Valencian: [maskleˈta]) is a pyrotechnic event characterized by the achievement of a noisy and rhythmic composition that features, particularly during daytime, in street festivities; it is typical of the Valencian Community (Spain). It gets its name from the masclets (very loud firecrackers) that are tied by a wick to form a line or firework display. These are usually fastened at a medium height with ropes or raised by cannons.”

    They are LOUD. The sound reverberates around the city centre, and you can feel it shake your body, and even into your legs. Quite an experience!

    I did try to protect my ears, but it’s two days later, and there’s a remnant of the mascletà still ringing gently in my left ear since this morning when I woke up. Only time will tell if that is permanent.

  5. @mattyoung @mykie oh, but our banjoplayer already has a #ctulhu drawing on his front panel, so he's bound to have #pyrotechnics at some point in time 😉

    Thanks for the compliment 😃

    Polysulfide sparklers revisited:
    a practical introduction to #CarboHanabi


    Abstract: Polysulfide #sparklers in the form of #SenkoHanabi have been enjoyed for centuries. Research has shown that potassium nitrate can be replaced with non-oxidizing salts providing equally performing compositions that are non-explosive. This article aims to translate this research into practice and presents a detailed construction method for #CarboHanabi: polysulfide sparklers made with potassium (hydrogen) carbonate. Additionally, it describes the inclusion of magnesium and magnalium in the composition to complement the delicate display of golden sparks with an impressive and bright finale.

  7. Part of last night's dream included a rodeo in Oklahoma. They set up a giant horse trough so they could race manta rays. They also set up a massive pyrotechnics platform for the start of the race.

    The image is staying with me longer than most dream images, but the thing that my brain won't let go of is the certainty that I've never had to write the word 'trough' before, and that I don't like the way it's spelled at all.

  8. Hello, me.dm!

    Inspired by @brittany, here's an #introduction thread.

    I'm Senior Content Manager at #Medium and #editor of #BetterHumans.

    I 💙 #pyrotechnics (a member of 3 #pyro clubs) and am a newbie #overlanding buff. This year (2023) I'm working on the build-out of a #FordRanger with an #OVRLNDCamper. I have a loosely held goal of driving to the Arctic Circle someday.

    I was a #PeaceCorps volunteer in #Ghana, West Africa, where I worked with cashew farming families for two years, 2011-2013.
