( same text all pics) Picked out my most reactive insulators and a few glass dome lenses and a couple depression glass pieces. Tried many times to get a good shot of entire display, however, since the demise of my tripod, I don't think I'll get that perfect shot any time soon, so I'll post a couple that give an idea.( different dark spots) Because of the low light, a long exposure is needed, ( my cheap camera just has a "night/ tripod" setting, so I can't up the exposure time) I took a fluorescent black light w/ light aiming only toward insulators ( camera won't " see" the dark back side of the lamp) and waved it up and down over the insulators right in front of camera while shutter was open. If I could adjust my exposure time up to like 10 seconds, this wouldn't be necessary, as it would gather enough light to see how it really looks.
