Smoke Ring

Posted by Brian (West Lafayette, United States) on 1 September 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual.

This huge ring of smoke was produced by a ground explosion (part of the show!) at a recent air show in Indiana.

What an amazing capture! This is incredible!! Look at the smoke that still lingers around the ring!! What caused the explosion at the air show and how long did it linger for? The sky is sooo blue behind it too! Air shows are such a great event and showcase many amazing planes...

LV--it wsw a big ring--maybe 20 feet across. It came from a ground explosion. I estimate it was about 50 feet in the air when I took this pic.

A very unique capture Brian - definitely a conversation piece. I like the way the clouds frame the shot as well.
