The photo is great but with a long exposure they could have had more 
dramatic effects with a rotating breakout point.  This simple $20 battery 
driven attachment is bolted on the top. Switched by a long fishing line and 
microswitch.  Effects like these:

It probably detunes it a little depending on the length of the rod but it 
doesn't take much to get a good visual effect.  Even 6 feet would be 
interesting but 12 feet for electrum would give a spectacular photo.
I'd be happy to pop over the ditch to do it for them.....
