AN IDEA IS BORN

burning light bulb filament Picture of the Day   January 13, 2010
Photograph by Stephen De Vight

This shot was taken by breaking a light bulb and photographing the filament as it burns in the air. Normally bulbs are in a vacuum to prevent the filament from burning. By removing the glass and shooting several shots in quick succession I am able to capture this image
