Some of you may have seen this photo floating around the internet. Over the years, it has gained a fair amount of noteriety, becoming a featured picture on Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Commons, being used in a History Channel production, as well as being hosted on a number of other websites. Doing a Google image search for "Energy Arc" brings up multiple copies of this image.
I consider this to be the best photograph I have ever taken. It was taken with an old Olympus C-720 Ultra Zoom (sorry, no Canon this time!) in macro mode, zoomed about halfway in, F4, 8 seconds, ISO 100. I was playing around with my old Realistic Illuma Storm plasma globe, testing out different exposure and aperture combinations. One of them turned out to be this image.
