2,000,000 Volts

I shot the pano at 2 million Volts this time ... O.K. only 2 m away. Just enough that my camera suffered some 'death pixels', but I had already knew that I could damage the camera. Influence of the electromagnetic field of the Tesla coil to the camera was actually even smaller than I expected.
I used the Manfrotto tripod and while the Tesla coil was operating, the tripod was charged - that was what I didn't expect and the first shot was a bit dramatic... and funny to the operator who was few meters behind me. However, I found an interesting fact: I loaded the Lion battery fully before I went from home but after only 10 shots nearby the coil, it was almost discharged. He... kind of experiment... and noisy one.
