OK. You never fail to amaze me with your fresh ideas. Where do you go to get them? How do you thik up all these wonderful images. When I first looked at the photo in the challenge, I thought to myself, this must be some light elegant fabric flapping up with wind or something. But then the light below it... It never occured to me that it is a light bulb.
Just WOW. Really, really cool image. What more can I say. |

I tried different kinds of bulbs but I found the larger ones burnt too bright. This one was a 40W bulb. |

I used a diamond cutter to cut the glass off at the base, so there was no chance of cutting myself. I used the full 220V and you have about quarter to half a second to take the photo.
The idea about the dimmer isn't bad Jörg! Maybe that way I can get the brightness of the burning wire down a bit. I would ideally love to do this again so that you can see the wire glowing red, and I think a dimmer might just do the trick. Thanks for the tip :) |

Great creativity Gary. hope you didn't cut yourself when taking the bulbs apart. Did you use full voltage, i.e. 220V, or did you use a dimmer? How long does it take between switching on the lamp and before is burned out?.

Very creative, as usual

| A pretty stunning piece of work. Perfect apart from the fact that it's slightly off center - but that's not really important to the impact. |

| I need to come back and read your explanation. I am puzzled about what I am looking at, but I like it. Looks like an electric light with a substance on it which caused smoke. It you crop the lower part with the threads away it become really abstract, makes me think of a bomb explosion. Funny to see the hand with finger. A warning against violance ? |

That's just a great idea! Does the bulb wire produce the wonderfull smoke by itself or did you add some smoking stuff onto it?
And yes, I do see the hand and finger too, so the title fits very well. Good luck |

| This is so cool, I still haven't figured it out and can't wait to see just how this was done, I've turned it upside down, sideways and still can't quite figure it out. Excellent. A 10 |

| I'm not sure how this was done, I'm guessing you used some photoshop (perfectly legal) but it is REALLY COOL! This just looks awesome... and I'm hoping you'll tell us how you got this at the end of the challenge. I'm going to go with a 10 just beccause I think it's a really cool thing, and well shot. |

| Pretty cool shot. Hope you added the particulars of the shot in the photog's comment section so we can see how you went about this. Not entirely crazy about the very centered composition, but not taking away points for that; the shot is just too fascinating! |

I would love to know how you do this kind of stuff. Is it safe to put power on a lightbulb that has its glass shell cut off? Excellent capture of the effect (exposure without to much highlight blowout yet a good smoke trail). Cool how the smoke goes into a mushroom nuclear blow effect. :)
(edit: and I see no reason to do a DQ request, as this is a perfectly normal capture, yet it ain't that easy I guess, good job!) |

| This is the most unique shot I've seen on DPC. So this is what happens when you turn on a light with no bulb! Great idea and capture! 10 -danny |

| Trying to work out how you did this. A bulb (globe?) without the glass and going up in smoke? Really hope there is an explanation. Quite fantastic, the lighting is absolutely sensational. |
