Blue Spark

Spark Plug viewed through a 35mm FL lens with a FD to EOS adapter and 55mm of extension tube sections. Pretty much as taken, cropped just a little about F8.

Joe, Not a problem with timing because the shutter was open about 1/2 minute. I fired the spark plug several times when the shtter was open.

Rick, I jury rigged an old auto ingition coil so I could fire it at will.

Thanks all for the comments,
Jim
