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.
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.

This Edison Mazda lamp is a prized possession of mine, I've been meaning to shoot it with a real camera ever since I got it. Being as fragile as it is I'm always hesitant to apply power to it's 100+ year old filament, but I thought this was a fitting arrangement. Needless to say I only applied about 20% of it's rated 20 watts to GTS. It's safely tucked away again with it's sister GE Mazda tubular lamp. See comments below for my original iphone shot and link to youtube video.
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.
Taken on Sep 5, 2024, we can see a ton of filaments and prominences on the sun. The sun is VERY active with a lot of sunspots. This was captured with my Lunt 40 telescope.
I have a full walkthrough on how to capture and process h-alpha solar images here if anyone's curious: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrKCVU6luHY
I really like how the thin filaments of fire came out in this shot. Undoubtedly, the thumbnail makes it harder to see, but I want to post it anyhow simply because I find it interesting.
Crithicca King - tech : Two 300 w/s strobes ( one full power, one 1/3 on right side , one speedlight over ) one softbox on right, no on the left . triggered by cactus V5
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.
Project 365 01/09/2017: Quite a busy afternoon with errands and didn't get much chance to take photos outdoor with natural lighting. By the time I got home it was already too dark. Looking for subjects I thought the dusty old bulb on the front porch lighting would look interesting in BW for today's photo.
The Tarantula Nebula is more than a thousand light-years in diameter, a giant star forming region within nearby satellite galaxy the Large Magellanic Cloud, about 180 thousand light-years away. The largest, most violent star forming region known in the whole Local Group of galaxies, the cosmic arachnid sprawls across this spectacular composite view constructed with space- and ground-based image data. Within the Tarantula (NGC 2070), intense radiation, stellar winds and supernova shocks from the central young cluster of massive stars, cataloged as R136, energize the nebular glow and shape the spidery filaments. Around the Tarantula are other star forming regions with young star clusters, filaments, and blown-out bubble-shaped clouds In fact, the frame includes the site of the closest supernova in modern times, SN 1987A, at the lower right. The rich field of view spans about 1 degree or 2 full moons, in the southern constellation Dorado. But were the Tarantula Nebula closer, say 1,500 light-years distant like the local star forming Orion Nebula, it would take up half the sky. via NASA ift.tt/1XPFyyp
