Fibers of spun glass in a sea of blue resin in teh amazing fibreglass "stained glass" windows by John Piper in All Saint's Church in Clifton. A soggy afternoon in the company of Jammy Roger 75 sheltering in modernist churches.
A single LED filament hangs in the glass of an Edison-style bulb, unlit but still striking — a delicate thread of orange against the clear globe.
A strand of solar filament broke away from the Sun and out into space (Jan. 23, 2013). In the STEREO (Behind) spacecraft image, the green Sun (false color) viewed in extreme UV light has been superimposed on the dark disk of the COR1 coronagraph that views activity in the Sun's corona. Leading the way was the smooth front of a coronal mass ejection, followed by the double strands of plasma, seen in bright, then fainter white as they expand into space. Filaments are unstable clouds of cooler gases that are tethered not far above the Sun. They often break apart as seen here. The movie covers 12 hours of activity.

The G47 filament seen by ESA’s Herschel space observatory. With a total mass of about 20 000 solar masses, this huge but slender structure of gas and dust extends over about 250 light-years in length, while its diameter is only about 10 light-years.
A winding thread of cooler gas and dust is seen in red and yellow, with temperatures as low as –256ºC. In the densest and coolest clumps, the seeds of new generations of stars are taking shape. This filament is about 14 000 light-years away.
The image is a composite of the wavelengths of 70 microns (blue), 160 microns (green) and 350 microns (red) and spans about 0.68x0.50º. The image is oriented with northeast towards the left of the image and southwest towards the right.

Illuminated seed filaments (papus) from below against a dark background.
A milkweed seed's anatomy features a central, flat, brown seed with a distinct tuft of fluffy, white, silky filaments called a coma or papus attached to one end. This coma acts as a natural parachute, catching the wind to disperse the seed for reproduction. Inside the seed is the plant embryo, enclosed by a seed coat. Now don't ya feel edjumacated?
Colorado Springs, CO - Rainy days are opportunities to explore creative photography and sometimes inspiration is just hanging out in your own backyard.

Wall-e helped me check Christmas lights this afternoon while I put up the decorations.
*explore* - November 29, 2009
The light bulb was photographed in two images. The first was to expose the actual bulb, the second was to photograph the metal threads. The velvet background was just big enough to fill the frame, with a large acitate screen filling the space surrounding that. I used two Mole Richardson lights with deep blue filters to expose the blue edge lighting on the bulb. For the threads I used a silver bounce card to light the front top of the threads.

Low key macro of filament inside 200W GE incandescent bulb. Spooky!
Yongnuo YN560III positioned to left of subject, with 33" shoot through umbrella. Triggered by Yongnuo RF603c.
I used to collect old lamps of different kinds to use in classroom demonstrations. This is a macro of the filament from a 500 watt bi-post 'regular' incandescent lamp. It would have been used in a spotlight of some kind. As the filament is still intact, it could still work.
Incandescent lamps are infamously inefficient, roughly 90% of the energy put in is converted to heat (infrared energy) leaving only 10% for 'light' energy. The idea with any lamp design is making the emitter as compact as possible to maximize the performance of the lenses and reflectors involved. LEDs have made tremendous progress in efficiencies but color temperatures (color rendering) isn't anything like the sun, our big light source in the sky.
