Hi Garry,
    Amazing photo!! Could you give us more details of how you took the
photo? What sort of camera where you using? how far away where you? what
shutter speed and aperture did you use. I have had some success with spark
photos using a Kodak dc290 set on automatic in subdued daylight. I am also
using your photo as a background on my computer as well.

cheers
