The Tesla Christmas tree is a colorful mess
Tesla Christmas Tree. Designed by Peter Terren.
Remember when I said that Tesla coils were being used mainly for our entertainment these days? I wasn’t kidding. Artist and enthusiast Peter Terren has created his own colorful Tesla-coil enhanced Christmas tree! He used slow exposure photography (about two minutes per shot) to capture this phenomenon in action. He even stepped into one of the shots (see above); this highly dangerous risk probably led to one hell of an electrical shock. Be sure to check out more shots of Terren’s creation in the gallery below; the images really are incredible.

Art from street lights and bugs
Flight Patterns by Charlie McCarthy. This work of art was made by shooting “long exposures of bugs under a street light.” Basically, McCarthy set up a camera on a tripod and let it record with a long shutter speed. This is often used when capturing images at night time. His simple idea of capturing bugs flying by a street light is mesmerizing.
