Spark Storm

[RJL2005]

Another image from my second attempt at spinning wirewool. Had it printed and entered it in the camera club monthly comp. Hopefully should confuse the heck out of the judge

Hard to fault that, great shot

Hard to disagree. It's well exposed and some cracking detail.

I'd like to see the whole of the spin, though, and that would have been an absolute stunner.

I really like how the sparks are rolling over the pebbles...

Cheers.

You should have seen the last one

Thanks! It's pretty hard trying to frame something which isn't there and keeping the camera in range of my cheapo trigger. Got some more wool today so will have another go with your advice in mind

Really good spin, look as is you were either using some very fine wool or a cage with very small holes, as the sparks are very thin, not im saying thats a bad thing as it works really well

Thanks Matt, tbh the judges can be such know it alls I thought I'd enter it to try to confuse

Spot on mate! Both fine wool and a cage with 2 x 1cm holes. The cage didn't last though the wool melted the bottom out of it

Great shot, good location for it too!

nice shot, great contrast in the colour, very pleasing,

Looks really good, the sparks rolling over the rocks look fantastic too

Yep - that's the killer bit for me too, the almost liquid quality of the sparks on the rocks.

Great effect, but I felt there was a even stronger image by cropping just the lower part below the rings of wirewool. That way the judge has no ideal of how it is formed.
