This is a Plasma Screw-In Lightbulb. Same technology as the big plasma globes (the ones that react to touch). Spencer's carries these for $9.99.
Originally I shot this from the side, but the core in the middle was odd looking, the clouds of light however intrigued me greatly so I tilted the bulb (and the camera) to get a dead on shop from the top. From this angle I particularly like that it looks like a little planet in orbit around the bright light.
I'm expecting a number of DNMCs event hough it really is a lightbulb, even says so on the box! I'm hoping for a mid 6 need to bring my average back up (no more 4s, giving me a complex!!!). Expecting Mid 5, cause that's the way it always goes.

And I thought MY entry was a bit abstract... I feel like I am back in the '60s. Groovy shot! Maybe it could use a little noise reduction to smooth out some of that grainy appearance.
