110930-A-VB845-077

A plume of smoke rises in the Ganjitsu Valley, Kandahar Province, Afghanistan, Sep. 30, 2011. Soldiers from the 2nd Squadron, 38th Cavalry Regiment had found a cache of homemade explosives inside a compound on the mountain and had destroyed the cache. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Kristina Truluck/Released)

Just to give you a hint of how massive this explosion was...the village in the foreground was hundreds of meters in front of the location of the cache. We felt the concussion even where we were at!

My military imagery is available for public domain. As the photographer, I don't have control over how you may use it, but I ask that it be done with respect to the individuals represented here.

Dayum, that must've been quite exciting just to capture that, from that kind of distance.

=tanikel Nov 22, 2012 Photographer

It was. Even from that far away, we felt it.

Very nice shot!

=tanikel Jul 11, 2012 Photographer

Thanks! Definitely one of my favorite explosion shots, it was massive!

Oh how I love(d) explosions.....>

=tanikel Oct 19, 2011 Photographer

Same here! I'd love to go EOD, but I'm not a fan of the bomb suit.

~helopilotoh58 Oct 19, 2011

Naw, I like creating them.

=tanikel Oct 19, 2011 Photographer

I'd love to be able to create them!

The closest I can get to that back at home is just shooting paint or soda cans and busted electronics with my buddy's Mosin Nagant and our handguns.
