Sparks fly as metalworker Chris Nast takes a grinder to a work in progress in his Tucson, AZ shop. 1-second exposure handheld, so undoubtedly I'm covering both angles of the PG101 Motion Theme -- (Camera or Subject Motion) 1/17 Finalist - People

awesome capture #11556034Michele Peterson January 21, 2017
Fabulous Chris! I love watching the sparks fly with metal work like this. Always so interesting, and your image of it captures the action perfectly! #11556046Chris Budny January 21, 2017
Thanks, folks! I wish I'd had time to try all kinds of setups with him -- but he was actually working that day, not posing for me, so I couldn't "direct", but had fun with the longer exposure times capturing the spark trails. #11556186Sylvia Rourke January 23, 2017
The sparks are perfectly exposed. Great theme entry. #11556569Chris Budny January 23, 2017
Thanks, Sylvia! #11556577Joanna Kovalcsik February 28, 2017
Sparking SILVER, Chris! Congrats and best wishes for the GOLD round! #11566552Chris Budny March 01, 2017
Thanks Joanna… No gold this time, but at least the silver matches the clamp holding his piece of metal :-) #11566810Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
