Could someone please explain how this type of image was made?
I understand that the exposure of the bulb filament to the air will cause it to burn out, causing the effect that you see. But what I dont understand is how the bulb was turned on since it "appears" to be unscrewed (ie. no power).
What am I missing? |

| I think there's a way to hook wires up to it? I think I read that in someone elses comments who did a similar shot. |

| Yep, you can solder wires to the bulb to make contact. Good stiff wires make for a nice way to hold the bulb in mid-air as well :-) |

Sounds like an electrical shock accident waiting to happen?! |

Not if you run the wires through an insulator you can grasp. But yeah, you do need to be careful doing this stuff...

Wires. That's how I did this
(both for light and support) of course, this was a small bulb, so thin wires and a 1.5v battery were sufficient ;) |
