Blue Light Special!


Kmart has, in its most recent commercials, used a blue light bulb as its spokesperson. This animated blue light bulb tells the public of Kmart's latest sales. As a kid I remember the blue light specials that Kmart used in both its advertisements and its stores. The other day I wrote, in my ideas notebook, to photograph the 'blue light special'. When I saw a Kmart commercial a few days ago I remembered that I have a blue light bulb. Not knowing what the outcome would be, I photographed this light bulb sharing the best of the images here. I found the darker the room, the deeper the blue color. Also, the image below displays 'rings' of light as multiple images were taken. In fact there are 5 altogether. Can you see them?

Ditto to all the previous comments. Nice job. I'm partial to the second image.
