This took me nearly all day to setup and it was over in about a second. Sure am glad it turned out and I had the correct exposure.
Man vs nature? Happy Earth Day.
filament:
1. a fine thread or wire, heated to glowing, in an incandescent light bulb or a thermionic valve
2. The stalk of a stamen in a flower, supporting the anther.
A single long streamer of Auroral light rising from clouds lit up from below by the distant electroglow of the city of Whitehorse.
This decorative large LED Globe had a filament which was just amazing to view in close up. This image was shot using a Stackshot macro rail and no additional lighting. 46 images images were captured and processed through Helicon Focus 7 and Adobe Photoshop CS6.
It's been a while since I posted a photo from our monthly theme photo wall where I work. So for the month of June the theme is an easy one, "Light". I took it literally.
Each month where I work we have a picture theme. The company provides matted frames for 8x10 prints. The pictures hang on a wall in a well lit hallway past offices to the conference room. We pull a theme from a hat. We don't "judge." We don't put our names on our prints. Anyone can participate in any theme or not. We do a quick critique each month too. So far, it's lots of fun and we are all getting into it.

Going back to this picture taken in January 2016, I wanted to try a black & white conversion with the aim to emphasise the shiny white and the filigrane structure.
All editing in Capture One Pro 9 only.
A dark, solar filament hovered above the Sun's surface, extending across more than half the Sun (Feb. 7-10, 2015). If that filament were straightened out, it would be more than 533,000 miles long, longer than 67 Earths. These images were taken in a wavelength of extreme ultraviolet wavelength of light of material heated to about 60,000 degrees C. Filaments are cooler clouds of particles tethered above the Sun by powerful magnetic forces. Though this one has been fairly stable for many days, they are liable to break apart at any time.

The missing sliver, a result of being impatient keeping the slew speed at 5 and not slower.
Fifteen flat-calibrated 1920x1200px, each of 1000 frames at 35 f/s. Best 50% stacked in AS!3, sharpened with 65% raw blend. Starting to see that the sharpening function in AS!3 has its limitations. A pity as it really enhances the promenances.
Merged in Lightroom, and further edited contrasts and false colour in Photoshop.
Strobist: Canon 430EX with blue gel on background, full power. Using canon cord so as to use high-speed mode (1/3200 shutter, f32, ISO 100).
Way too busy for new photos right now. Here's one from my unposted archive. A supermacro of a wet lily stamen, the two parts - filament and anther - meeting. Pink lily petals provide the background. Very small scale and shallow dof in this. The anther is perhaps 3 mm across. Some crazy chromatic aberration happening here.
A dark, elongated filament rose up and broke to the lower left and out from the sun (Apr.9-10, 2017). Filaments are cooler clouds of plasma tethered above the sun's surface by magnetic forces. They are notoriously unstable and tend not to last more than a few days before they collapse into the sun or break away into space. The video, taken in extreme ultraviolet light, covers about nine hours of activity. Credit: Solar Dynamics Observatory, NASA.
The two most noteworthy features on the sun this week were a pair of elongated filaments (Sept. 8, 2016). The central one was twisted into the shape of an elaborate arch at the center of the sun (yellow arrows). If this were straightened out, it would extend just about across the entire sun, almost a million miles (1.6 million Km). The other, smaller filament, (white arrows) if made straight, might reach about half that distance. Still, pretty impressive. Filaments are elongated strands of plasma suspended above the sun by magnetic forces. They are notoriously unstable and often break apart within a few days. The image was made by combining three images in different wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light. Credit: Solar Dynamics Observatory, NASA.
