Beautiful detail when Viewed On Black
I took seven shots at slightly different focal points of the inside of the trumpet of a daffodil, and used CombineZP ( a free software tool) to stack all seven images to create the final image.
Once the stack was complete, I selected the centre filaments and on a separate layer sharpened them with a high pass filter at 60% opacity, and then in a new layer, inverted the selected area and ran NR on it, before a soft NR over the flattened image.
Finally, after adding the drop shadow border, I ran two passes of USM after reducing the image size for the web.
C&C as always.

“Evolution” is a light installation that showcases how the humble household light bulb has changed over the last hundred years.
A giant light bulb envelops a spiral filament made up of 32 individual lamps. At one end of the filament, energy is wasted through the warm tungsten filaments of yesteryear; at the other end, you can experience the cool white efficiency of the latest LEDs.
You can compare and contrast the light sources by using a nearby touch-screen to select which lamps are illuminated. Your visual experience is enriched by access to live data on the power consumption, luminance and colour temperature of the lamps, so you can learn about the changing effectiveness and efficiency of the light bulbs we have used over the last decades.
When the touch-screen is idle, pre-programmed illumination sequences perform a compelling lightshow.
“Evolution” utilises LightwaveRF home automation technology—an innovation that allows you to monitor and minimise energy usage within your home by wirelessly controlling appliances using your smartphone. In “Evolution”, the technology is used over Wi-Fi to control the dimming level of each of the 32 lamps, and to provide energy-usage monitoring. At the same time as the data is broadcast on the touch-screen, it is also published to the “Evolution” website. This data shows how effective the recent innovation of LED lighting is in improving energy efficiency, compared with the now obsolete incandescent filaments.
Willow Bleasdale, Matt Wright and Jaz Hewitt are all lighting design students at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London, United Kingdom. This close-knit team combines specialisations ranging from hand-held lighting effects and Arduino control systems, through theatrical lighting design, and up to large-scale outdoor architectural lighting—and all its members share a passion for creating educational and entertaining installations.

I like to pretend this is a shot of an axon bundle reaching out to some distant dendritic field, taken while microscopically exploring someone's brain. However, they are really just roots, reaching down from the canopy, in search of nutrients.

We took our popular LED filaments and put them inside LEGO lightsaber hilts. They're the brightest in the galaxy!
This shot was taken by breaking a light bulb and photographing the filament as it burns in the air. Normally bulbs are in a to vacuum prevent the filament from burning. By removing the glass and shooting several shots in quick succession I am able to capture this image.
Inspired by large-scale landscape artists Christo and Jean Claude, who famously wrapped entire vistas in orange clothe, artist Donald Gerola set out in 2012 to be the first artist ever to “weave” a river. Though Weaving in its entirety has since come down, still standing from the ambitious six-month installation is a painted steel sculpture meant to mimic a heddle (the part of the loom through which thread passes). Fortunately, extensive documentation allows us a glimpse of what was.
With the aid of two professional archers, Gerola shot cables across the Blackstone River and, alone, later stretched, wove, and fastened the cords to various trees and structures on either side of the river, making precise measurements in order to create near-perfect arithmetical patterning. The labor had its kinks, as install took a physical toll on Gerola and some cords snapped, falling into the river. Despite complications, the end result was a mesmerizing display of geometry and color spanning the waters just outside of the historic Slater Mill. At night, the installation glowed as spotlights shone on the reflective filaments of the cable fibers.
Not surprisingly, Gerola sees public art as “a partnership between imagination and reality as a gift to adorn cities and landscapes that include nature and historical legacy.” Simultaneously weaving together river and land, man and nature, and modern day innovation with Pawtucket’s river-powered, industrial past as a booming textiles producer, Weaving lived up to Gerola’s definition and quickly gained national attention.
The son of an engineer and a pianist, Gerola’s fascination with beauty and mechanics makes perfect sense. After studying physics at the University of Dayton in Ohio, the aspiring Renaissance man became fascinated with the creation of supergraphics, a method of expanding and altering the perception of a place using colorful geometric or typographic designs. Eventually, Gerola moved to altering space as it exists in reality, and not just perception, and he began exploring sculpture.
Today, Gerola’s work ranges from small-scale to the truly monumental. As an added engineering challenge and to explore the dynamic potential of steel, Gerola also creates kinetic sculptures, one of which temporarily became a woven part of his Weaving installation. Generally working in steel, he lauds the material for its dualism, encapsulated by its heavy weight and its ability to appear weightless, which his kinetic work exemplifies even further. But also inherent in the material is a sturdy connection to its primal and permanent source. “Steel comes from the earth,” Gerola explains. “It roots my sculptures to their origin, the natural world, and so I will often leave the base of my sculptures unpainted to keep that rootedness plainly visible.”
Gerola’s work has exhibited as part of the Art Expo in New York, on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, and throughout Rhode Island. Images have been printed in numerous publications, and his Delineated Static Sculpture was on loan to the Springfield Museum from April 2008 to May 2010. He maintains a fascinating studio in Lorraine Mills that is open to the public.

Christmas Cacti filaments backlit by the reflection, in the window behind, from the on-camera SB-800 flash.
Different sources of light on this morning's Arriva 127 bus. The LED destination sign lighting is controlled by Pulse Width Modulation hence its appearance.
The image shows the actin filaments(indicated by FITC-Phalloidin (Green)) in a differentiating neuronal cells from embryonic stem cells.
So it's been a while since I've uploaded any photos and it seems about time that I did. I've been pretty interested by how lightbulbs look if you approach closely and use high shutter speeds so I I've been messing around with that a bit.
