View allAll Photos Tagged Filaments
A theme of "Bulb" and I decided to photograph the filament of a light bulb going up in flames after the glass had been broken and the switch was turned on.
This would cause the filament to burn out when exposed to oxygen and would briefly burst into flames and emit a bit of smoke.
This was captured with the camera set to continuous shooting mode and is a frame towards the end of the sequence. i liked this one as the filament was visible and still glowing.
I also used a flashgun to help illuminate the glass and smoke and was impressed it kept up with the camera at 1/32 of it's power.

Glorybower is one of the easiest, most delightful tropical shrubs I know. It fills medians and surrounds homes. It's beautiful in bloom and in seed... in fact, it's spectacular! I love all its phases! Search my photostream for more views of this glorious plant.
Glorybower, Clerodendrum splendens
Biscayne Park, FL
Sepals...Protect the unopened flower
Petals...May be brightly coloured to attract insects
Stamens...The male parts of the flower (each consists of an anther held up on a filament)
Anthers...Produce male sex cells (pollen grains)
Stigma...The top of the female part of the flower which collects pollen grains
Ovary...Produces the female sex cells (contained in the ovules)
Nectary...Produce a sugary solution called nectar, which attracts insects..."
Spider web, Quail Hollow State Park, Hartville, Ohio

(EN) Filament blenny - (FR) Blennie à filaments
Alticus monochrus, subadult grazing on emerged rocks, Réunion Island
Incandescent light bulb filament (46 micrometer diameter) breaking the surface of water. The filament is against a glass surface and surface tension creates a sheath around it as it enters the water.
Latourell Falls, Columbia Gorge, Oregon.
I am looking upstream through the lush vegetation, supersaturated from the mist that hangs in the air, trapped in the dark basalt ampitheater. The creek above descends the mountain and plunges straight off the volcanic cliff, adorned with lichen patches. The fall is a single rope of water, twisting and fraying as it drops, two hundred and fifty feet, all air. It is like a filament against that dark rock, a bright connection between two worlds. Energy races down the column and then starts back up it in a pulverized spray of molecules. The creek, reconstructed, races to the river. But we run on a different current. The connections between us are not as visible--love, respect, trust, honesty. Break them and the bond is gone, the light between you is betrayed. Filaments are fragile things. The fall can dry up, the tungsten can break, the soul falter. I let the fall blur in my vision, wishing there was one look, one act, one word that would make it right.
I've been pointing the Laowa 65mm x2 lens at quite a few things and tonight was no exception! I have a lamp with a sexy Edison bulb in it and I was trying to get ultra close with the lens. Took several attempts as they are moving all the time but I marvel at this lens and the detail it gets.
Taken for the macro Monday's group for the theme "The space in between" and this is a photo of a bulb for a car with the glass removed.
it shows the filament for the bulb which stretches in between the support wires.
The filament was lit by a torch and my smartphone was in the background displaying a gradient.
