Fun With Plasma
I plugged in a plasma globe that I bought years ago last night and decided to take some shots. It made for a very cool subject. Here are a few from the series:
Plasma Explosion
The Death Star
Reaching Out
Plasma Wave
Sperm
Here are a few hue shifts of the first image:

"Plasma Explosion" and "Plasma Wave" were both shot at f/8 and ISO100. Plasma Wave was a 20-second exposure to blend the plasma fingers together and just focus on the colour, the Explosion shot was somewhere around 8 seconds to get less blur.
The remaining shots were shot wide open at ISO400 and between 1/20 to 1/4 to reduce movement of the plasma fingers.

It was available as a screensaver, but they also had a version that would run as the desktop, under the icons.
Usually only took my a couple minutes before i bleed from the nose and passed out on the floor.
