These were on sale - I guess it's if you don't like how the new bulbs look since they put a fake one over it.
Just messing around with my 50mm on a reversing ring ala digital-photography-school.com/reverse-mounting-your-prim...
This is silly. I have had this light bulb since 1974. We never used the bulb until last month. Last night it gave up the ghost.
The last of it's kind.
Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone.
The idea here was to fire the slingshot through all 3 lightbulbs, and have the flash trigger as the ammo was entering the third bulb. However, the flash triggered earlier than we hoped. If you look closely, you can see the pellet just about to hit the second bulb. Mike's angle

A lightbulb may not seem like the most exciting subject, but this image has a certain eerie David Lynch-like quality I like.
Richard Box' artistic display of 1301 fluorescent bulbs lit by the overhead high-power lines -- just from the ambient energy surrounding the lines.
Wireless transmission (intentional) and fluorescent bulbs were both invented by Nikola Tesla.
The fluorescent bulbs of Richard Box's display, "planted" in the ground to pick up "waste emissions from the overhead power lines", are in effect acting as wireless transformers as well, providing a graphic depiction of a phenomenon that could actually shed additional light on the mode of action of these other energy devices.
Box says, "There's sound as well as light - a crackling that corresponds to the flashing of the lights. There's a certain smell too, and your hair stands slightly on end."
Though the shows are at night, when the effect can be seen best, the fluorescent tubes are lit continuously, depending on the whether conditions. The dryer the air, the more the tubes act to collect the ambient energy. Humid air acts as a conductor to ground, tending to bypass the tubes.
More experiments with a lightbulb, a darkened room and an iPad.
The photo being reflected in this one is from the Southend #LuminoCity light festival
Utitled (Petit Palais)
Feli Gonzalez-Torres
1992
Lightbulbs, electrical wire, porcelain sockets
A simple string of light bulbs, Untitled (Petit Palais) rejects the monumental and heroic in favor of a quietly personal approch. The sculpture was inspired by lights Felix Gonzalez-Torres saw on Paris streets, and its title cmes from the name of a Paris hotel. Made of everyday objects, it is designed to suggest a wide range of meanings, incorporating both the artist's and the viewer's responses and memories and reflecting upon the poignant tenion between the light's capacity for revelation and transcendence and its inevitable dimming over time. The modest and open-ended quality of the piece is reinforced by the fact that it has no fixed form of its own: the artist stipulated that whoever install the work was to choose its configuration.
