In all honesty, I really didn't have very high hopes of making the deadline this week and I had almost completely given up searching for original ideas, until a stroke of luck hit me on Saturday! My hubby and I were out shopping spare light bulbs at our local DIY shop when he stumbled upon something new and very intriguing that fit perfectly with this week's theme: Vintage Edison Style Light Bulbs!!! How lucky am I??? As you've all guessed, I bought one right away and just about managed to sqeeze out 20 minutes in my unbelievably busy Sunday afternoon to take some macro shots ;D And there you have it, folks! The Edison Twist!!! Straight out of the camera, no editing whatsoever (only a small crop to perfect the centering) And for those who might question how I managed the all-black background, I admit that I was using just about all the filtres I own (polarised, warming and fluorescent!!!) plus -2 stops white balance setting ;D Hey, if it works, it works ;)))
Happy Macro Mondays everyone and to all my Friends a wonderful new week :)))
The sun is rapidly retreating on the horizon as BNSF 6540 East leads general merchandise freight HSTOBAR131A across Tower Line Road.

What do Edison and cubism have in common?
They will see it in the "House of the Black Madonna" in Prague.
The house itself is cubism. The dome in the staircase in combination with stairs reminds of a light bulb. I combined the staircase with cubist style elements on the building and a real bulb to this collage.

History - Historians have determined that people living as far back at 2000 B.C. lived on Edisto Island. ... By the mid-1500s, the Edistow Indians lived on the land. Like their ancestors, they, too lived off of the land and water. They harvested seafood, grew crops, and hunted wildlife.

Just another angle of the same bridge, a bit more reflections but without the foreground interest of the previous view.

Eastbound baretables shatter the silence at the rural Tower Line Road crossing as they climb the 1.4% grade to Sandcut.
Tonight I noticed that this light which is between two panes of glass had an infinity reflection that I had never noticed before.
These kinds of discoveries are what I love about photography, searching for what we don't normally see or pay attention to.
I'm going to try this again when I can have each bulb in focus and stack them.

I think this is my favorite view of the recent pictures I took from this area. Every year they drain the lakes in the high Sierras so that they can capture the snow melt. I drove quite aways on the lake bottom and then walked about 100 yards to get to the shoreline. After getting stuck earlier in sand this year, I was taking any chances with the lake bottom. It was still very soft and holding water.
After taking a few pictures of the reflections, I took out my chair and fished for a few minutes. My dog and myself were the only ones on the whole lake enjoying this beautiful day. Unfortunately, I think the fish were enjoying the sun too, and I got skunked here. Later, I drove down below the lake and caught some rainbows in Mono Creek. It was a pretty good day.
The first day of my birthday trip, I drove up to Edison Lake to check out the newly repaired road up to here. The first mile out of Mono Hot Springs was still a little bumpy and rough, but then I got into the area where they did the most work and the road was amazing compared to the last time I drove on it. The road up into this high country is one lane with pull outs and sometimes you're going to be looking over a 3,000-foot cliff. I have taken people up here that are afraid of heights, and they won't come back again. But once you get to your destination, the views are amazing like this one. There is camping, hiking, boating, and amazing fishing up here. This time of year, my friend and I were the only ones in the area enjoying the beauty here. A couple days later I came up here and caught a baker's dozen of trout and never saw another person while fishing. Gotta love it!
For my birthday this year, I stayed at Mono Hot Springs in a cabin and went exploring looking for new fishing locations. One of my trips was up to Edison Lake. I had great weather on this day and decided to take out my camera and get a few pictures of the view. I was hoping to get a good reflection off the water, but the wind started to pick up, and this was my best effort.
This time of year, the resort and campground are closed, and I was the only person here. It was a little spooky and cool at the same time. I had my dog Annie with me, and we had a great time fishing and enjoying the scenery. Unfortunately, I didn't get any fish in the lake, but when I went below the dam, I caught a baker's dozen in the creek. Ended up being a great day overall.
If you look at the right side of the picture, that is the dam. It is the biggest earthen dam that I can remember seeing. It is almost a mile across, and it put together with thousands of rocks. I can't imagination how long it took them to put them all in place. Another great location to visit above Fresno.
Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) has been described as America’s greatest inventor. Replicas of the buildings in his Menlo Park, New Jersey, laboratory complex are included among the exhibits at Greenfield Village, an 80-acre historical museum complex in Dearborn, Michigan.
Here, an actor portraying Edison describes at a “press conference” for visitors how he invented the first practical incandescent lightbulb in 1879. At left is a shot of one of the bulbs that illuminate the Edison machine shop on the Greenfield Village grounds.

I've continued to play around with long exposure images and light, and just wanted to share my latest entry into this recent LE series... This time I was looking to get creative using a simple Edison light, a mirror, and a little bit of Photoshop for good measure.

I had great weather on the day that I went up to Edison Lake to try my luck at fishing. To be honest, the view was better than the fishing. The cloudy sky was amazing, and I didn't mind the view. Every year in the fall they drain the water in the lake and take it down into the Central Valley. Earlier this year, the lake was about 80% full and looked very different. I was skunked here fishing, but later I went down below the dam and caught my share out of the creek. Another great day exploring in the Sierras.

The so-called Necrophone was more a speculative idea attributed to the famous inventor than an actual patented invention. It originated from an interview Thomas Edison gave in The American Magazine in 1920, in which he discussed the possibility of building a device to communicate with the dead.
Edison explained his belief that life after death might take the form of energy or a vital force persisting beyond physical death. Just as sound and voice could be recorded and reproduced with the phonograph, he suggested it might be possible to create an instrument sensitive enough to detect the “life units” that, in his view, composed the soul.

I try to make a visit to this lake every time I make it into the high country. There is a stream that empties into the lake from the north shore that usually has good fishing. As you can see, the lake was a little low this year and the fishing wasn't much good. It took us about a quarter mile hike just to where I could throw in my line.
This lake is one of three locations in the area that cater to hikers going across the Sierra range. Here you can recharge your phone, camp in front of the store and get a shower (it isn't free), resupply, and get a hot meal. They also have a ferry service to the back side of the lake and canvas tents available for rent. We always bring our own camping gear, but in my old age someone already setting up my shelter sounds better and better each year. Stay safe and happy clicking.
The Edison is based on an 0-4-0 switcher locomotive built about 1870 by Manchester Locomotive Company. Henry Ford purchased the switcher from Edison Portland Cement Company in 1932. Ford had the locomotive rebuilt into a 4-4-0 wheel arrangement by staff at Ford Motor Company's Rouge locomotive shop. The Edison later went into regular service on Greenfield Village's railroad.
