More thermite on a frozen lake

This time, we ignited three pounds of thermite on the frozen lake.

Rocklobstercam Mark III

I have constructed a mighty Rocklobstercam. Again.

This time, I used a digital still camera to take underwater photos instead of video. The Rocklobstercam Mark III has proven a worthy complement to the storied Rocklobstercam of last summer. The results are posted under Hawaii 2007 Snorkeling photos.

Also, check out last summer's underwater videos made with the Rocklobstercam Mk I and II. Jacques Cousteau it ain't, but I'm pretty happy with the results.

I used the guide at marinelifephotography.com to identify the fishes.

Thermite on a frozen lake

We ignited about a pound of thermite on a frozen lake, releasing enough energy to melt through three inches of solid ice. This movie features additional camera angles courtesy of Marc and Melissa.
