The 2/8/07 Thursday Challenge—Shades of Red
My blushing tribute to the David Letterman show "Grinder Girl". And thanks to guest Sam Wraith's comment below this will forever be aka "Sgt. Peppers Phony Sparks Gloved Hand"
This is a real shot with minor PP touchup; It is not a PS collage. There is a trick involved to create the real sparks. Can you figure it out? The grinder is a standard handheld unit. I wore red gloves. The grinding wheel is spinning ferociously but the wheel motion was frozen by the flash burst. Scott tripped the shutter and handheld the flash unit off camera after I finally got the shot setup right. Check out my previous day’s shot to see a totally different preliminary look at this attempt.
