thank you po sa mga nagcongratulate. and sure i would really love to share it. First I used a black cloth as background. An off-camera flash was used, a pringles canister to act as a snoot for my flash and placed it about 2 o'clock of the subject. Camera is on a tripod and manual focusing mode. Shatter the glass casing of the bulb after you attach it to the socket. And be very careful removing it you may use a thick cotton glove if its available. And never forget to turn of the switch before you remove the bulb. I learned my lesson thru pain. hehe luckily i didnt cut my skin after being electricuted.. hehe when eveything is ready you may start shooting. 1bulb=1shot only. you can't repeatedly turn on the bulb because when you switch it on the filament burn really really fast. So you should almost simultaneously press the shutter and the switch of the bulb. I used as many as 20 bulb to have this image because i first experimented with slow to fast shutter, w/ flash-w/o flash,etc.. i suggest that you first buy 5 bulbs because maybe you might get lucky on your first 5 shots.. As i remember my settings here was 1/200, F5.6, ISO 100, i think the power of the flash was 1/32 at about 3 feet away from the subjects. Again thank you to all those who commented on my works and for congratulating me. Any questions will be gladly answered.
