HELP!
The first time I took time elapsed photos of my old old old
coil 5 or 6 years ago they came out superb!!! Recently though...
well thats a different story. I have gone through many rolls of
film trying to capture the power of "BAMF" Its just not easy to
photograph 12ft streamers with a camera that doesn't zoom LOL
So heres the results so far...
I get grained, lite, and kinda greenish backgrounds and the arcs
just dont seem very powerful! They are very skinny!
I've tried 400 and 800 speed film
I've tried 3, 6, 9, 12, and 20 second exposures
I've tried taking the pictures at dusk, and night, and with/without
ample lighting
Any suggestions?
Also, any ideas of how to get the streamers away from the strike
rail WITHOUT redesigning topload or adding capacitance?
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!!!
Thanks guys
