Set up filament in a dark room against black back drop.camera set on manual iso 100, 1/500, f5.6, high speed continuous shooting. Hit the shutter release and the power to the filament.
Thanks for looking!

How did you power the filament at the same time as firing the shutter? 1/500 is pretty fast

Easy! Set camera to high speed continuous shooting (for the 50D 6.3fps), camera remote in one hand, power switch for filament in the other. Let rip with the shutter a fraction before powering up the filament. You end up with about a 10 shot sequence, the middle of the sequence holds the goodies

I did a bulb breaking shot ( avatar, larger shot in my gallery ) but it kept blowing the fuse so my question is, does the filament shot blow a fuse every time ? i.e do i need a bucket full of fuses because i think i might give this a try. Cheers.

Very nice, I tried this today.
I didn't realise the filament would only burn for a split second, I thought i'd at least have time to get quite a few shots off. Needless to say, my attempt didn't turn out very well.
Thanks Wigster
That's where the supermarket's value range come in - 20 bulbs for £3. I cleared the shelf last time
Really liking the filament shot - It looks fantastic. Nice to know how it's done to
