About Dan Lightner Photography
This is my 7th Technique to share, The erupting coke can .
I made a stand out of plywood and drilled a hole through the wood. I inserted a piece of 1/2inch tubing through the wood. I drilled a hole in the bottom of a coke can and place the can over the tubing. Fill the tube with coke , blow into the tube and the coke comes out , (fast). Shutter was set at 1/200 th of a second and aperture was set at F16 .

PS: Make sure you do this in the bathroom when the wife or husband is not home .

wow this end result is very impressive, looks very commercial and professional. can you devise a way to get birds to come within like 10 feet of my lens :) I think you are missing your calling as a engineer or one of those 6 figure jobs... Really great job, very well done.....


Dan Lightner   {K:12684} 2/15/2005
I am an engineer.A foundry engineer. Always biulding new things.

Dan


Gregory McLemore   {K:27042} 2/15/2005
Absolutely professional quality, this is good enough for a SuperBowl commerical spot.


Bradley Prue   {K:30312} 2/15/2005
For those that don't know it.....I work with Dan EVERY DAY! I'm the one who finds the work, and Dan's the one who figures out how to make it! I have heard Dan called just about everything BUT foundry engineer.... The truth is, his mind never stops looking, searching for better ways to do something. I can personally attest, that his mind is a remarkable tool, and nothing that he does surprises me. I don't mind saying that I envy his photographic skills. I do, however, OWN him on poker night ;-)
Great work, Dan! ....Brad

Dan, another great one.. I am really enjoying your photo lessons. Thanks for sharing with us. I think someone else said this on another photo but it is really nice of you to show your technique. Many people would not tell. It is quite amazing to see your set ups and then see the end result. Very creative. Thanks again K


Amna Al Shamsi   {K:21789} 2/16/2005
I will never be able to do this! Amazing!

Kisses, Biliana


cameny    {K:5880} 2/16/2005
I will ask u just one thing: Why you don't have marking option turned on? This "critique only" doesn't permit me to give you the 7 of 7 mark I really wish to give you. You are something that should be paid for! :-))) Incredible!


Dan Lightner   {K:12684} 2/16/2005
I am not really concerned with ratings. Thanks anyway.
Dan


Peter De Rycke   {K:41029} 2/16/2005
Very creative series !
How did you do the timing here ? Oh, i see, you blow and press the shutter .. yes ;-)
One can do that in a sun heated car too ;-) Can assure you that you don't need buddies anymore to stick papers on your dashboard !
Peter


Hans MADARIAGA   {K:4341} 2/17/2005

Fantastic, and very creative. How would you photograph a match at the moment when it has just been lit?


Dan Lightner   {K:12684} 2/25/2005
If you would like I will develope a technique for shooting a match at the moment it ignites.
I will Post it withing the nest few days with an explanation of how it is done.

Dan
