Energy Arc

Energy Arc, center electrode of a Plasma Lamp

Edited version

I'm nominating this because it's a damn good photograph if I do say so myself. I've never gotten a single negative comment on it, and it was even a top-rated photograph on Photo.net for a time. Here's its critique page: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1216885. This image appears in the article "Plasma Lamp", obviously. I think it adds a nice artistic touch to the page while still appropriately depicting the subject. I took this photograph. It was an 8 second exposure with my old C-720 Ultra Zoom in macro mode. I put my hand on top of the outer sphere to draw all of the current into a single stream. The stream moved back and forth, creating the double-streamer effect in the picture.

Nominate and support. - PiccoloNamek July 8, 2005 22:41 (UTC)
Excellent photo. I might suggest cropping a bit horizontally so that it's more centered, but otherwise it looks nice. --brian0918  8 July 2005 23:04 (UTC)

Great photo! My only problem is with the noise, and how some of it looks a little dirty. I have uploaded an edit, but it maybe too blurred. --Fir0002 04:27, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

This image has been here just a few hours shy of fourteen days, and with such overwhelming support, I think it's safe to go ahead and add it to the featured pictures section, don't you?PiccoloNamek 05:39, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
