 Last minute entry.... i thought about this challenge all week long, but nothing really sprang to mind until tuesday at ~4:00pm.

Shot this in my light-box lit with 2 remote flashes. My wife lit the bulb with a flashlight from the side with a long exposure (30 sec). Took a few practices to get the right effect, but it turned out pretty cool. Hopefully it does okay.

PP: CS2
convert from RAW
crop
cloned out one small sensor-dust spec
levels
curves
sat/hue
smartsharpen
usm
resize border

this would've been SO much easier as an Advanced Editing challenge!!

pretty good overall. i think the flash on the battery should have been diffused a bit more as it's a tad harsh.

Clever! Think it might could stand a bit tighter crop but good job.

Very nicely set up, good shot, and a terrific idea. I'll go with the suspension of disbelief on the current flow thing. 7

Good idea, batteries are maybe not prominent enough within the image
