Liquid nitrogen and a mad scientist

Last night we went to a Swissnex event in San Francisco at a pier along Embarcadero. A guy showed some science experiments. He poked a hole into an incandescent light bulb, lowered it into a cup with liquid nitrogen, then pulled it out and turned on the light switch. The light kept burning because the nitrogen trapped in the light bulb protected the tungsten wire filament from burning up with oxygen from the air.

 

I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves.
