Camera was 12 feet in the air. On an 8 foot shipping container plus 4 foot 
tripod.
Alternatively take it from near ground level to see the circular effect from 
below like I did in the photo on my index page.

In  2 months I will set up the big coil with a ?20ft rod and set up in a 
dome shaped building where I can take pictures from about 20 - 30 feet up. 
Discovery Channel will be filming this one.
