  1. looks like blue. nothing wrong with black, in my opinion.

    I've had Red, Black, Blue and Gold (Centenary?) version, and I didn't like any of them. They're all blends. IIRC, Red and Black have an indeterminate amount of neutral grain spirits in them. Blue and Gold consist completely of single malts. The end result is so chaotic it's hard to identify any one flavor. Blue is bad in this manner and Gold even worse. I think the only blend I liked less was the truly awful Chivas Century of Malts, which is made up of 100 malts. :palm:

    I readily admit I consume the products of Islay and Skye, and not much else so I am more than a little biased on this subject.

    This here is some impressive strobist work. A quick peek at the exposure info explains a lot. 1 second exposure @ F/13, ISO400. That means the photographer had some wiggle room to trigger the gun and the strobe, yet didn't have to worry about ambient light making the pellet appear blurred. What I surmise he did was trigger the gun and strobe simultaneously, and had a digital delay actually fire the strobe X milliseconds later. Knowing the FPS of the pellet and how far it had to travel to pass the razor, it would be reasonably easy to compute. Getting a shot like this actually work is a whole nother matter. My hat's off to him.
