Murkus,

I've had this happen on a few occasions --but never planned! Great capture!

Great example of an impulse of energy. On of the best I've seen so far. But I'm just starting.

Great shot. I love the "action" of the sparks. The real sense of explosion from the contact.

This is awesome. I would have never thought you could get such a dramatic spark from a car battery. You did a great job capturing the "spray."

Wow!!!!!!!

Well done, it certainly is an impulse of energy of the spectacular variety.

Great shot! You're a lot more daring than I'd ever be. Cameras are just too sensitive to electrical shock! Very well focused in whole DOF.

Got to agree with Bobby, Markus. Spectacular is the word that best describes this shot. It definitely makes sparks fly.

This is just beautiful. Great job. Slartibartfast.

Thanks! Luckily, I was one of few things in that room which didn't get any burns.

Spectacular! I would have guessed that someone might have posted a "sparkler", but this is spot on the theme and well thought out! Hope your Pbase skills are up to snuff ... you just might be hosting the next challenge!

Oh, almost forgot ... any burns while doing this? (grin)
