December 25 - Pop goes the cork

No amount of practice with a static cork could prepare for the speed out of the bottle.
The moment was caught, but the velocity means that the cork is little more than a ghost.
If there is a 'next time' it will need a flash rigged-up to freeze the action, and quicker hands to escape the frame.

Hope that everyone is having a Merry Christmas!

Nice one! There's a vapour-trail! I didn't even manage a party-popper...

Very festive. And you'll just have to keep doing it until you get it right :)

Oh I like the hand it makes it more 'real' and I can see the ghostly passage of the cork. Terrific shot.
Merry Christmas!

Sounds like you had fun trying, though...! The lights make nice 'bubbles', anyway....

Would certainly be expensive practicing this!
Great effort though, Brian.
Merry Christmas.
