Well TV's I made to receive interference since the antenna, while computers have a nice big metal case around them that probably helps like a faraday case to protect them from the RF.

And to EVR, Sweet Coil and pic! I just got into SSTC's and I can see what a fun hobby this will be!

Hi,

Be careful there! A number of folks have started fires inside walls and ceilings. The drywall screws tend to carry the arc currents into the wood inside the wall. I have heard of like four fires started that way!!

Bill Beaty and David Rieben (a fireman) were two I remember... Bill's place was rented cheesey , but Dave had to scramble up to the attic with a bucket of water...

But cool picture!!!!

Cheers,

Terry

I see someone beat me to it, but I was going to mention I have trouble enough getting pinhole burns in my fingers.. what do you do when they're all over the WALL? ^^

Are you going to mention the (approximate) exposure time underneath the shot in your publication?

Planning on taking any power-arcing/banjo-string shots to a fixed ground, as well? =)

Another typical comment by Jim. Well, firstly, i would invite you to explore how photoshop uses different blend methods when combining images. In this case, its the LIGHTEN blend method.

When two images are combined in photoshop using the LIGHTEN blend method, the program firsts looks at the color information in each channel and selects the base or blend color - whichever happens to be lighter - as the resultant color. Pixels darker than the blend color are replaced, and pixels lighter than the blend color do not change.

Now, you with all your intelligence, and since you brought up the comment, why don't you tell us why you can see through me in the image when using this blend type.

And BTW, i don't know of any software programs which *are* foolproof. Perhaps you with all your wisdom could enlighten us into which programs you would consider foolproof.

I can't see through Dan. He's sitting at the back of the room behind the arcs. Excellent pics! smile I would be worried about starting a fire though, for the reasons Terry mentioned.

Thanks. They were fun to take! I guess Jim was talking about the second image where my left arm is somewhat transparent. . .

Omg, I see it now. The crazy thing is, it looks as if you can see your leg through where your arm would have been. Philadelphia Experiment!!!! wink
