Description

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

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! #11556046

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. #11556186

Sylvia Rourke level-classic January 23, 2017

Thanks Joanna… No gold this time, but at least the silver matches the clamp holding his piece of metal :-) #11566810
