Re: Decent Pics.........
Dark room, 4 sec timer, camera on tripod, f1.2, and the best secret --- Fuji
Velvia Color Slide Film with ASA of 50. This produces the very best color
saturation and will give you absolutely spectacular photos of your coil.
You have to go to a professional supply source to get this film but it's
worth the effort. Such as B&H Photo in NY. Hang a vertical wire down as
the ground so the arc will "climb" up the wire. Makes for much thicker
looking sparks from even a small coil.
BTW -- I don't work for Fuji -- just use their great product.
