 This is a broken lightbulb. As for the #7...this was my 7th attempt. :-)
Special thanks to kiwiness and his insight on how to make this photo. He has 2 great ones.

You makes it sound simple, like nothing at all. You should try getting a photo like that. I'll bet it's harder than it looks.

LOL, who am I to talk; as I haven't even broken a score of 6! Nice work Tom.

You got a 6 out of me!

Had I not seen a shot like this before I never would have guessed what this was. Interesting shape you captured.

Heat wave coming off of the element of a light bulb?

Very cool but I am not sure it is enough of a puzzle for this challenge. You broke a lightbulb then took a photo of it as soon as you turned it on. The effect is great though!

Light filament just as the filament is superheating. This is a very cool photo.

An uncovered light bulb element having voltage passed through it. Excellent capture. Good levels and contrast. Well Done. 9

Looks like a lightbulb vaporizing when switched on because the glass has been broken out and it's exposed to oxygen. Nice shot, and my top score so far! I hope you didn't have to reshoot too many times to get it. I guess we all have lots of incandescent bulbs to waste since replacing them with flourescents.

Incandescent light bulb that has no glass? Looks like the filament is smoking! Nice timing with the shot.
