Excellent, as always!!! WOW, that must have been a loud burst. That is not a rocket you want to CATO! :o

 

What flash comp did you use, and what size Ti?

Do you think a similar effect could be created by using Mg curls in with the flash instead of Ti?

The flash was regular perc/al 70/30 with 10% Ti. I used two mesh ranges. 10-20 and 20-200.

 

As far as the Mg curls, I really don't know. Seems like it might be worth a try though!

I've tried this several times - all with no satisfactory results. Seems that the Mg is consumed almost instantaneously boosting the light output of the flash but little else. I've tried mixing the Mg fines directly into the flash as well as having a seperation of half 70/30 flash, half Mg fines. Nothing seemed to work for me.
