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.
Maori name: Tui
Other names: Parson bird
Scientific name: Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae
Adult birds are about 30cm long. The male is heavier (120g) females about 90g. Appear black but in the light have green, bluish-purple and bronze colouring; a lacy collar of white filaments and white throat tufts; black legs and curved black bill and a white wing bar. Both sexes are alike. Juvenile tui are a dull slate black with glossy wings and tail, a greyish-white throat without the white throat tufts.

First experiments with burning filaments. Ran out of bulbs before i got the expoure nailed down so had to tinker in lightroom a little.
Atividade aqui é uma seção muito fina de um remanescente de supernova causado por uma explosão estelar que ocorreram mais de 1.000 anos atrás. Ou em torno de 01 de maio de 1006 dC, os observadores em todo o mundo testemunhou e registrou a chegada da luz do que é agora chamado de SN 1006, uma tremenda explosão de supernova provocada pelos estertores finais de uma estrela anã branca quase 7.000 anos-luz de distância. A supernova foi provavelmente a estrela mais brilhante jamais visto por seres humanos, e superou Vênus como o objeto mais brilhante no céu nocturno, apenas para ser superada pela lua. Era visível mesmo durante o dia por semanas, e permaneceu visível a olho nu durante pelo menos dois anos e meio antes de se desvanecendo. Hoje sabemos que a onda de choque da SN 1006 tem um diâmetro de quase 60 anos-luz, e ainda está se expandindo a cerca de 6 milhões de quilômetros por hora.

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.
The thin 'Filaments' (long hand like structures) holding 'Anthers' (show like bases) carrying orange bundles of 'Pollen' are jutting out of 'Style' in the Hibiscus flower, wherein there are five 'Stigma' heads on the end!
