Certainly looks like stellar rain. The closest star shining bright, whilst being showered in a rain that is not water, but stars, creatures of the firmament. And it's alone; its only companion, its own reflection.
But it's not...
this is what an aligned filament looks like before it's installed into the electron gun assembly. The alignment is cake-- it's all the damn polishing, and scrubbing, and then getting the polishing compound off the metal that's the real pain in the ass.
This is the close up of the filament of light in glass. The output of this is a white light spectrum. Yea.. we have amplified fs laser pulses!!!
Here's a B&W treatment of the previous image to highlight the details of the filaments in the spiderwort flower.
These are lightbulbs from my center high mount brake light. At least two of the five bulbs were out so I decided to replace them all. Then I thought they looked kind of neat and might make for some interesting abstract photography.
First experiments with burning filaments. Ran out of bulbs before i got the expoure nailed down so had to tinker in lightroom a little.
Nov 20, 2012. Waitomo Glowworm cave. The "worms" are actually larvae, that lower a sticky filament. When a mosquito wanders into the dark underground river, it flies to the light of the glowworm, and gets trapped by the filament, to be a glowworm lunch. (Picture: Waitomo CD)
This is part of an exercise to define the path of a particular spline (or curve) over the skin of an egg-shaped surface of revolution. It was critical to be able to predict exactly where the path of the spline went as it was calculated in a computer program, and then electonically transferred to the three-dimensional model for analysis and verification. This project began in 1993 as a method of programming a 7–Axis filament winding machine to produce asymmetrical and irregular forms; and this work was done as part of proving the fibre path software. The winding path software installed on the machine's controller was limited to simple solids of revolution, such as cylinders, cones and spheres — so this work was done to wind surfaces that did not fit into that category.
I received this arrangement from a customer as a thank you gift. The flowers were so tightly packed together as buds, and it has been a joy taking pictures of them as they have opened. In fact, I took so many shots I started to wonder what in the world I would start to call each of them: They had far too much personality to remain photo numbers.
I started to feel for the ones which were covered up by the immense lilies, and soon imagined they were talking to each other, jostling and fretting in their white envy of each other, saying things they did not think I could hear…
And as the days pass the buds continue to open as elders fade…
Continue to follow the numbers for their conversation... 19.
