This is a fire extinguisher being fired off. For this shot I just wanted the spray going out across the frame, though in retrospect I really should have had a fire being put out. I will have to do that one later. This is a rather long clip but I liked the evolution of the extinguishing dust so I decided against cutting it short. This was the first time I had ever had an opportunity to use an extinguisher so I was quite taken back at the mess remaining. The dust they use to smother the fire is relatively heavy and it also sticks to just about everything. It’s been about three weeks since we shot this and you can still see the dust. I also had the not so enjoyable experience of getting a mouthful of the dust when the wind whipped it back in my face, it was less than pleasant….foul would be a bit closer to the mark. So, yeah, all in all this was a fun shot. It was worth it though when I got a chance to see the frames I’d captured. The initial frames are probably the most interesting to me as you really get to see the vortices forming. The extinguisher was off frame by only an inch or two, so what you are seeing is pretty much what it looks like coming right out of the tube. This was a relative short blast, a second and a half or so. The lighting could have been better but the weather that day was not very cooperative. I hope to get another shot on a nice bright sunny day so the shadows will give it some more depth.
