For those not familiar with a plasma globe, or not familiar with them being called that.

Very, very cool.

Definitely cool! So cool that I tried to copy with my cheap $10 lamp. You should definitely do more pics with your globe.

Excellent idea. Well executed. Highly cool. All are neat, but right now
my focus is on #3. I've had one of these devices for many many years
and have yet to think of imaging it. Will now.
Baseline camera settings?

for a shot like this...

<table class="photoInfo"><tbody><tr><th id="ExposureTime">Exposure Time</th><td>0.0333s (1/30)</td></tr><tr><th id="Aperture">Aperture</th><td>f/4.5</td></tr><tr><th id="ISO">ISO</th><td>3200</td></tr></tbody></table>
or a shot like this...

<table class="photoInfo"><tbody><tr><th id="ExposureTime">Exposure Time</th><td>0.008s (1/125)</td></tr><tr><th id="Aperture">Aperture</th><td>f/5.6</td></tr><tr><th id="ISO">ISO</th><td>3200</td></tr></tbody></table>
A slower shutter speed produces some equally interesting results...

<table class="photoInfo"><tbody><tr><th id="ExposureTime">Exposure Time</th><td>0.25s (1/4)</td></tr><tr><th id="Aperture">Aperture</th><td>f/5</td></tr><tr><th id="ISO">ISO</th><td>3200</td></tr></tbody></table>

<table class="photoInfo"><tbody><tr><th id="ExposureTime">Exposure Time</th><td>1s (1/1)</td></tr><tr><th id="Aperture">Aperture</th><td>f/5.6</td></tr><tr><th id="ISO">ISO</th><td>3200</td></tr></tbody></table>

Very nice. Thanks for sharing additional cool shots. & of course your
different camera settings. Nice to have that in lieu of quickly working it out.
