Location: my darkroom
Date: Feb 27, 2004
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 200
Shutter: 8 sec.
Date Uploaded: Feb 27, 2004

My most elaborate setup to date. I set up a sparkplug in my darkroom and ran an extention cord down to my car outstide and hooked it to one of the plug wires. started my car and went to work.

Most people associate fire with red, so naturally i went the other direction. a nice blue spark.

asside from levels and USM, the photo is as photographed.

Want to see more fire, less fire creator! The dark upper right corner is a bit distracting. THe clarity & lighting is nice

Good idea, but spark is too tiny and tip is out of focus.

Lighting kind of makes this a bit dramatic with the sparkplug being lit just a bit and still looking quite dark. The blue background works good to bring out the subject. The blue highlights adds a nice touch to the sparkplug. Diagonal placement of subject in the frame gives it a dynamic feeling . "8"

I'd really like to know how you did this, a clever and well composed shot

Good idea, a bit grainy but nothing terrible. Good crop and nice shading of the background. Good job.

Framing is a little weak for me - I'm not convinced about where you've decided to cut off the plug. The spark itself is of course indistinct, too, and has little impact really - one of those things that just doesn't look as good as perhaps you thought it might.
