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.
A macro of the filament inside a small light bulb. The filament frames the focused center of the bulb. Taken with a Canon 60mm USM macro lens. Type L for a better view.
Filaments - Capturing high quality portraits of wildlife is something that I really enjoy. Even though Red-tailed Hawks are common, so common in fact, they are often overlooked as subjects, they can be difficult to photograph up close.
I was fortunate to have the opportunity to photograph a juvenile bird recently. I was able to capture this closeup showcasing the beauty of the feather filaments, beak, and eye. The Nikon D850 really shines for wildlife portraiture - with both zoom lenses and prime lenses. I've also been loving DxO PureRaw - it really renders my RAW files so much cleaner and does a much more natural job cleaning up noise than Topaz Denoise (also a great program, but applies default sharpening even at a setting of 0, which causes artifacts).

The filaments are outside our double-paned kitchen window, which had been cleaned inside, but not outside. At the moment that I snapped this, the wind was causing the filaments to dance wildly. I was surprised that the image actually had any defined lines.
“This World” by Mary Oliver
I would like to write a poem about the world that has in it
nothing fancy.
But it seems impossible.
Whatever the subject, the morning sun
glimmers it.
The tulip feels the heat and flaps its petals open and becomes a star.
The ants bore into the peony bud and there is a dark
pinprick well of sweetness.
As for the stones on the beach, forget it.
Each one could be set in gold.
So I tried with my eyes shut, but of course the birds
were singing.
And the aspen trees were shaking the sweetest music
out of their leaves.
And that was followed by, guess what, a momentous and
beautiful silence
as comes to all of us, in little earfuls, if we’re not too
hurried to hear it.
As for spiders, how the dew hangs in their webs
even if they say nothing, or seem to say nothing.
So fancy is the world, who knows, maybe they sing.
So fancy is the world, who knows, maybe the stars sing too,
and the ants, and the peonies, and the warm stones,
so happy to be where they are, on the beach, instead of being
locked up in gold.
Finally, after weeks of cloud I managed to catch a quick glimpse of the Sun.
The filament is around 300,000 km long.

Not sure I ever shared this one, but a nice bolt of lightning from a dying supercell south of Lamar, Colorado back on June 6th, 2017 with some tour guests!
A knew I had one of these old school (and now probably illegal!) bulbs kicking around somewhere waiting for such a moment! For todays Macro Monday theme of Silhouette

I had to fix my microscope lamp.
I took a macro of the lamp filament for this week's submission.
I used my Nikon, F mount with a T mount adapter, T mount adapter to Microscope eyepiece adapter, and slipped it into the eyepiece of my B&L Stereo Scope. No "camera" lens used.
I then used low voltage to heat the filament to produce the "radiant" glow. The two electrodes (white solder connections) are about 1/4" apart.
Sometimes the photo finds YOU!!
Something I have wanted to do for ages. But I can pick umpteen holes in this. Trying to even get the right sort of bulb was not the easiest - most are LED or not dimmable. Then the bulb would have worked better rotated 180 degrees. Getting rid of dust was another nightmare. So don't look closely ..Lol! So I think I will have another try at this sometime in future.
Old light bulb I came across at the streetcar museum.
