About: Working my dream job in the Telecom industry, so chances are, i'll never have time to respond to comments or messages, nothing personal.
or, the coolest instructable ever, gone wrong. More a cautionary tale than an instructable.

Step 1: Come Up With a Brilliant Instructable

The instructable I came up with was a novel (in that I found nothing quite like it) implementation of a sound activated flash. I was inspired be phinch's https://www.instructables.com/id/EE37CNT2V3EP286A6C/.

Step 2: Assemble the Project and Test

The assembly went quite smoothly and all along I documented the steps with my beloved fuji camera, reaching the testing phase I found everything worked quite well. and then.....

Step 3: Disaster, or Culpable Stupidity

Satisfied with the results I unslung the camera from around my neck and set it down right next to the disposable camera i was using as a flash, the noise triggered the flash unit..

I guess the EMP was pretty powerful.

Now I get nice pictures of blackness.

And my wifes mad.

oops.

It was a really cool project, when i have time I'll redoc it with my POS 1.3mpixel. but remember EMP KILLS.
