Charles de Gaulle Airport, Terminal 2.
This newly completed terminal is a real photographer's delight...
(Shot in Monochrome mode.)
First time I combined focus bracketing/stacking and HDR. I needed HDR obviously to deal with the brightness levels. At the same time, I wanted to have the bulb interiour completely sharp, but the background should be as blurry as possible. So I had to open the aperture to F2.8 and shoot 15 shots (stepping 1). I did 5 brackets with 2EV difference. Post processing was to stack the 5 brackets (Helicon Focus method C) and then merge the HDR in Lightroom. Some global and local adjustments in LR as well.

Having gone for a shot of the whole bulb, I experimented with different angles and started de constructing the light-bulb at a macro level, ending up with this abstract, sci-fi view of the filament structure and support wires.
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory came across an oddity that the spacecraft has rarely observed before: a dark filament encircling an active region (Oct. 29-31, 2017). Solar filaments are clouds of charged particles that float above the sun, tethered to it by magnetic forces. They are usually elongated and uneven strands. Only a handful of times before have we seen one shaped like a circle. The black area to the left of the brighter active region is a coronal hole, a magnetically open region of the sun. While it may have no major scientific value, it is noteworthy because of its rarity. The still was taken in a wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light.

A view of the stamens opening like tiny parcels unwrapping allowing the filaments to burst out. Cropped and an opening parcel lightly sharpened with the sharpening tool.
The obvious parts of the flower masses are stamens, with the pollen at the tip of the filament; the petals are inconspicuous (see picture). Flower heads vary in colour with species; most are red, but some are yellow, green, orange or white. Each flower head produces a profusion of triple-celled seed capsules around a stem which remain on the plant with the seeds enclosed until stimulated to open when the plant dies or fire causes the release of the seeds. (A few species release the seeds annually.)
Do view large:
The filament in a light bulb is made of a long, incredibly thin length of tungsten metal. In a typical 60-watt bulb, the tungsten filament is about 6.5 feet (2 meters) long but only one-hundredth of an inch thick. The tungsten is arranged in a double coil in order to fit it all in a small space.

Another last-minute capture which I photographed this afternoon. All I can do here is asking you to trust me that this is (or rather was) a bulb, not some weird-looking vase or bowl.
Like most incandescent light bulbs, this one went out with a bang. One final switching on – and the filament blew. Whether this typical small 25-watt bulb had been equipped with a tungsten wire filament, or not, is something I don't know. But the blowing of the filament created this fascinating-looking "M" or "W" shape inside of the bulb. This is why I decided to keep it, but only the jacket itself, whereas I'd removed the socket (E14; the opening is 1,5 cm / 0,59 inches in diameter) and filament. I've kept this broken bulb in a special "junk to keep" box for years, now came its time to shine for MMs :)
I'd put the bulb into a black cardboard box to reduce the reflections from the living room windows. Light sources were a flashlight (handheld) which I'd put inside the blue tealight holder; to add some reddish highlights I'd also placed the transparent chocolate box lid onto the front edge of the box, so the flashlight would also partially shine through the lid. To my surprise, this "duo" colour filter worked. The final image is an in-camera focus-stacking which I've processed in Analog Efex and Color Efex.
HMM Everyone!
I was taking Remy for a walk and of course scanning the leaves for caterpillars. I spotted a tiny bit of "debris" on a maple leaf. Of course I have to check out anything that looks out of place and sure enough it was a tiny instar of a "Nematocampa resistaria" Horned Spanworm! One of the Filament Bearers they are an amazing and beautiful caterpillar! Ellicott City, Howard County, MD

The giant whitefly, Aleurodicus dugesii, is native to Mexico. It has spread rapidly and is now found in many areas elsewhere..

This rosy realm is simply beautiful!
The Bauhinia Tree is also called the Orchid Tree. Imagine looking out your back door and seeing a tree simply covered with these glorious blossoms!
I love the delicate creamy stamens on their rosy filaments and the play of light and shadow they create on the pink and rose veins of its petals.

These fine filament like 'flowers' are from what may be called a burgandy smoke bush. They don't show well in photos when taking a photo of the entire bush or tree, but these caught my eye when the sun was shining on and through several of them (which is capturing back lighting I'm told by avid photographers in the know)! ;-)
