Energy Saving Light Bulb Exploding Stock Picture

This concept stock picture shows an energy saving fluorescent light bulb exploding. This is a great image to illustrate new developments and products for the energy industry, for green building, and editorials about conservation, energy savings, exploding myths and so forth. Any viewer who sees this image immediately wants to know what's going on, why is this bulb exploding, why is an energy saving bulb exploding? It compels the viewer to take the next step, to read the copy, and after all, isn't that the mark of a great photograph?


Creating a concept stock picture of an energy saving light bulb in mid-explosion

To create this picture illustrating various energy, conservation, and green concepts, I had a friend shoot the bulb with a pellet gun while I fired off a sequence of shots. We used continuous lighting (tungsten) as opposed to the more traditional studio light of strobes because standard strobes do not recycle quickly enough to fire off a sequence of captures. The second exposure of the sequence was the one we ended up choosing. The bulb remains intact enough to immediately identify it but there is plenty of flying glass and debris to impart a real sense of action and movement.


A flexible and effective Image For Illustrating Green concepts and energy topics

This is a very versatile and flexible stock photo image. It can be cropped equally well as a vertical for use as a magazine cover, or horizontal for uses such as magazine spreads and billboards. The photo reads quickly and easily even at thumbnail sizes on the Internet. There is plenty of room for copy and headlines, and even though there is a lot going on, there still is a simplicity to the image that helps for a quick read, a very important trait in this ever-increasingly fast-paced world we live in. It is important for us photographers to provide effective imagery to help illustrate energy, conservation and "green" concerns. That is one way we can continue to do our craft and still help make a positive difference in the world.
