Why does the bulb always go at the least convenient time - this one blew in the middle of the night as I was trying to do #4 sons nappy change.
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.
Was hunting around all over the house for an idea when a light bulb went off... literally...the light bulb in our bedroom blew. So the new bulb became the subject of a techniques I've been meaning to try after a friend introduced it to me.
A more detailed look at the filament, framed with the writing on the top of the bulb. Some very careful manual focus here done by Angie. Nice bit of lighting to define the top right edge. minimal reflections here on this close crop.
strobist: 580 EXII snooted fired into white background from above camera, 1/8 power, triggered remotely. 2 desk lamps providing black line lighting, gobo'd.
loads of people do pictures with them holding lightbulbs, so i thought i'd do one. I'm not copying anyone, its purely experimental :D
dodgy editing?

Saw those guys while sitting at a terrace. I'd been in the area lots of time, but never noticed them before. Probably because I never looked up! I'm pretty sure they don't work.
PT: lighting, contrast, sharpen.
Fr: J'ai vu ces ampoules alors que j'etais assise a une terrasse. Ca faisait plusieurs fois que j'etais dans le coin, mais je ne les avais jamais vues. Surement parce que je n'ai jamais leve les yeux! Je parie qu'elles ne marchent pas en plus.
...The sun is a light bulb
A candle's a treat
The curtains stay closed now
On my little retreat
And I'll only take medicine
If it's followed by sweets
A sickly pink liquid
That puts me to sleep
My head beats a better way
Tomorrow a better day
And I can watch TV
While I'm wrapped up in bed
And mother makes sure that
I'm watered and fed
My best from school will
Come over and stare
At me in my bubble
Of germified air
When I'm asleep the smoke fills me
I feel the heat
My illness leaves me
The sun is a light bulb
A candle's a treat
The curtains stay closed now
On my little retreat
But after a while
The noise from the street
Is making me wish I
Was back on my feet...
