Van De Graaff photo session 1
|
In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field. |
Shot at ~250mm at ISO 400, F5.6, ten seconds each. These sparks are between 6 and 8 inches long and are jumping to my forearm. The generator will produce brighter, shorter sparks or longer, dimmer ones. The dimmer ones are more lightning-like, with jagged channels and extensive branching. The branching is too faint to show up on the exposures, but is visible to the eyes. (Click on each photo to enlarge)
Crop of second image above (notice radial pattern at the spark contact points, similar to what lightning does at the ground):
