A richly detailed steampunk automaton performs beside an elegant harp inside a grand, candlelit hall. The robot’s brass-and-copper body is adorned with exposed gears, pistons, and finely machined joints, while its glowing glass head radiates warm amber light like a living filament. One articulated hand plucks the harp strings with delicate precision, blending machinery and music into a moment of mechanical grace. Soft dust hangs in the air, illuminated by golden light, creating a cinematic atmosphere where Victorian craftsmanship meets poetic automation.
Inspired by (aka blatently copied from!) this shot I saw in explore. www.flickr.com/photos/kistomi/3197472752/ It is infinitely better lit than mine, but I think it came out not too bad :)
this was really hard work! took about 60 shots and 10 bulbs till the shot was ok! just the bulb glas is a bit dark....really sad about that but i have a few bulbs left and will try again when there is time - nobody is pefect! im learning every day more and more...really cool and so much fun! :)

We took our popular LED filaments and put them inside LEGO lightsaber hilts. They're the brightest in the galaxy!
