| And just for fun, here's a shot of a compact fluorescent glowing. I took this the night before, along with some of the 8' tube hand held. The short exposure required to defeat my inevitable shaking of the lamps required a high ISO that made the photos too grainy for my taste. That's what led to the clamped shots the next night. BTW, the green streak is a lightning bug flying through the scene. | And just for fun, here's a shot of a compact fluorescent glowing.

Fluorescent lamp photo
I am the photographer of the fluorescent lamp glowing under the power lines. I did use Photoshop to crop and sharpen the picture but it is entirely accurate. I shoot in Nikon RAW so I do not use any in camera color correction or sharpening.
I set the equipment up before dusk so I had enough light to focus properly. I originally had the tube (an 8 footer) clamped in the middle but the glow below the clamp was distinctly dimmer so I moved the lamp up for the real shot.
And just for fun, here's a shot of a compact fluorescent glowing. I took this the night before, along with some of the 8' tube hand held. The short exposure required to defeat my inevitable shaking of the lamps required a high ISO that made the photos too grainy for my taste. That's what led to the clamped shots the next night. BTW, the green streak is a lightning bug flying through the scene.
