WOW!  What fun.  Dave, you're such an inspiration.  I really admire the 
sense of photographic community that you are part of and support in your 
area of Australia--and I have always felt that you really strive for 
creativity and mastery of technique--your Butterfly shot is one of my all 
time favorite photos--and now this, what fun.  I'm sure you'll be taking a 
lot more great photos during the rest of the year, but this one below--your 
umbrella shot-- is really great & might be one for the annual--wait a 
minute, oh boo, you probably shot this with your new Nikon, right?  Bummer. 
Well, great shot anyway!  Really enjoyed it.  Cheers, Christine

G'day all,

Here is another from last weekend:



Direct link (~120kb):


There was no Photoshop trickery involved. If you click on the first
link there is an explanation of how the shot was made.

A small gallery of my other shots from the night can be found here:

Seriously though.

That's a pretty sinister looking image and thanks for the explanation.

I took a look at the Tesla Downunder site - remind me never to lend that
guy my car!  He must keep his neighbours endlessly entertained...

Like  the shot (greyskull). Interesting gallery. Was that a camera club or

Very fun.

Looking at:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/disavage/3398530748/in/set-72157615995917477/

It's a lot bigger than the tesla coils we made in high school.

You can also have fun with them lighting up flourescent and neon bulbs
that aren't attached to anything which may be useful for your creative
lighting style.

Thanks Christine

I was lucky to stumble upon such a socially active Flickr group of a
similar age & mentality :-) . It's lead me & in turn my photography,
to places & situations that I most likely wouldn't have ventured into.

I still take the pentax out & about so I hope to have something to
contribute in the next annual.

Cheers,

Dave

He's a lovely bloke & the videos on his site are really cool.

The coil itself isn't that loud but the capicitor discharge (see the
umbrella shot) was just like having a shotgun go off. me ears were
ringing for a few minutes after.
