Great fun had smashing light bulbs then switching them on and trying to capture the burn up.
I am really blown away (lol)
Many thanks to everyone who voted and left comments.
You can expect to see a shot featuring a sea of broken bulbs in the near future.

The trick on this kind of shot to avoid blowing out the filament area completely with the glare is to give short bursts of electricity to the bulb. Using this technique, not only can you actually use one bulb 3 or 4 times, you can also get the whole glowing filament into the frame. Like this.
Do you work in a lighbulb factory, then? Or are you changing over to low-energy bulbs? I like the capture - very nice dynamics!
Looking forward to the sea of lighbulbs - (must be a factory?)- (or maybe all the failed bulbs in order to get this gem!!)? You must be an Edison follower - thousands for the end result! (Just joking, of course)
Well executed, especially the smoke curling up - I feel that perhaps the grey in the white light is odd - like the camera greyed out a white somehow - but very nice image indeed. Keep moving forward, and expect some very good praise coming.
Sweet colors... how'd you get that blue going inside? I think it would be nice to see the bottom of the bulb, and have some background behind the black to play what happens here in context... I think you could tell a story with a shot like this. Anyway, nice job.
