steam school spark show pics

[Ned]

I will post some pictures of the spark show when I get back home. Does anyone else have anypics that they would be willing to post here?
I for one had a great time during steam school and have some bugs to work out on the 75 but still I know there has to be some great pictures out there somewhere :picture: .

Here are about the only two I got that are worth posting from this year...

First one is the show's 75 with chemical enhancements! Who is that guy on the platform?

This one is Doc Knutson's engine. I thought it looked pretty cool as the longer exposure time show spark trails, and a little brighter twilight sky.

Since I didn't get any good ones of the Avery, I will have to revert back to this one from last year! Cannot go without one... This photo by Bonnie Muhl...

It was a great night for a spark show, and a great weekend all around!

Almost forgot the Marion! That crew drew a big crowd, and did a great job... This is the only picture I took up there that is worth posting! I need a better camera, or a better photographer!

I was hoping someone would put pictures of the spark show on! I was explaining to someone at work today what a spark show was and now I can show them!
Thanks for the pictures!

Great photos Mark.:bannana: I promise when I get back into town my little brother has some great photos I'm going to post:praying: .
And as far as those "supposed chemical enhanments" a Case guy has to do what he can just to compete with that Avery crew.

This is one awesome picture. Must have set the camera on the bleachers to try some different things with exposures.

Great pictures guys!

BTW... I washed the boiler out this past weekend and found many chunks of un-burned coal in smoke box! Talk about draft!

Heres one of the Marion spinning he held the exposure as long as he could. I wish I could have seen it :sad: but I was sitting on the 75 letting the pressure good down. Again thanks to my little brother Mike for the Great photos:thumb: . See the 4th comes early at steamer hill

Erik :bannana:
happy 4th to all

Thanks for all the great pics. they are some of the best I have ever seen of a spark show at WMSTR.:congrats:

[Ned]

Where are the rest of the photos from that night it was about the best night for a spark show (weather wise) and with all the flashes I could see from the platform on the 75. I know theres more out there somewhere:picture: .

Erik the Ned :aetsch:

p.s. My little brother is thinking about making some prints of his photos and selling them in the general store during the show let me know if there is any interest

[Ned]

Here is one of the Nelsons' shooting sparks. (great job):thumb: with just a half scale case.http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa141/Erikthened/100_2690.jpg

comparing the proportions of the size of the 1/2 scale case. i think they put on the best show of all. :D
