Light Bulb Moment

    This shot is made from two exposures. The first exposure uses the dark field lighting technique to light the glass bulb and the second exposure is a straight forward shot of the light bulb turned on using a high shutter speed to capture the detail of the element. I then combined these two exposures in Photoshop and did a little cleaning up here and there along with some contrast, saturation and masking.

    Strobist details :- Nikon SB900 behind bulb and behind black foam core board at 1/4. No lighting used for the bulb element exposure.

    Shot 1 details :- ISO 200, 70mm, 0 ev, f/8, 1/250

    Shot 2 details :- ISO 200, 70mm, 0 ev, f/8, 1/4000

    Nicely done, and as these type of bulbs will soon become extinct a good
    record shot.
