Spark Show Pictures

[Mike Bennett]

I have a few to put up now from the digital on Sunday night's sparkshow. I hope to get the film developed this weekend from Friday's spark show. If anyone else has some pictures, feel free to add them here. For now, here's what I got.

The scale sparkshow. Forgive me, don't remember what size/model that was.

The smaller Avery, Scale, and a Case with a whole lot of "chemical enhancements"
More to come!!

Thanks for the pictures Mike!:thumb:

It has been a couple of years since we had that much wind. It takes away from the show some but it was still fun.:)

A few more....

I shook the camera a little bit on this one, but it turned out anyhow.

Great pictures Mike!

If I remember correctly, you are not using a digital camera, are you?

To get those kind of results when you have to wait for them to get back from the processors is really something! It must be like Christmas when you pick up that package! Been a long time since I have gone to get some photos developed...

Well, the first four I posted were from my wife Beth's new digital camera. Not bad pictures really, it's just hard to compete with that old Pentax film camera after dark like that without spending a lot of money that we don't have right now.

As far as going to the developer, it is just like Christmas. Is it going to be a lump of gold, or a lump of coal? This year made my jaw drop, I've got some more at the brake, and a few to upload yet from the sandbox.

First off, thanks to gary for filling in my lack of info on the scale model. And now the last of the friday sparkshow pics at the prony brake.

I wish I would have found this "sweet spot" for the camera earlier (sorry Avery crews). Also, thank you to all of the people invloved with all of the sparkshows. I can't even imagine the skill involved with belting up after dark like that. I doubt I could do it during the day....

Just write them down and remember them for next year Mike!

Again... great pictures!

Mike,
Those are some great shots. Thanks for posting them! I got a chuckle out of the "belting in the dark" observation.

The difficulty of it is directly proportional to the amount of people watching! I think most can agree with me on that! Some days it is fairly easy, some days kinda frustrating to say the least. :banghead3:

Looks like some of us need to tune up our smokebox doors. Seems they leak a bit. :biglaugh:

Thanks again,
Jace

Note to self when belting up in the dark - Forget the people - forget the advice - line er up and drive er in!!!

Now if I can only do that!:rof:

I forgot about the video I have from Sunday night's sparkshow! I apoligize to the people with slower internet connections, file is kinda big for dial-up.
