HMM everyone!

Pour 2 ounces of alcohol in a martini glass, add small decorative lightbulb, set aflame. Do not burn down your house - or drink the Martini for that matter.

 

HMM.

Beer, the thinking mans nectar. Well until you wake up the next day and realise how terrible the idea was.

 

Been a while since a bar shot so here's another candid portrait. The Junkyard in Nottingham. Great place for food and coffee too.

Not something that we generally look that closely at, but the filaments are quite pretty. Thank so much for the Explore!

A fake plant in a light bulb is so awesome. There is a push button switch in the screw in cap that turns a light on.

    

she is a poem in my heart ;)

  

  

today i heard the words to a song ..

  

come down from the mountain

you have been gone too long

 

the spring is upon us

follow my only song

settle down with me

by the fire of my yearning

 

you should come back home

back on your own now

  

the world is alive now

in and outside our home

 

you run through the forest

settle before the sun

 

darling i can barely remember

you beside me

you should come back home

back on your own now

 

come back home

I've wanted to re-try this shot with a clear bulb and now that know a lot more about lighting. This was shot using "Dark Field" lighting. There is a large softbox directly behind the bulb and just the field of view of the camera is covered with a black gobo. The bulb is suspended on piece rigid wire using adhesive putty and the electrical wire is just touching the side and bottom of the bulb. The bulb is attached to a dimmer switch. Once I start to apply power with the dimmer switch, the filament burns out quickly because the vacuum created by the glass has been broken. See the comments for the setup shots.

NOTE: PLEASE BE CAREFUL IF YOU ATTEMPT SOMETHING LIKE THIS. IT WOULD BE VERY EASY TO GIVE YOURSELF AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SHOCK.

One of the tourist spots in Prague that's generally known only to photography geeks. Too bad they don't allow tripods in here, so all these shots have to be hand-held.

Evidently, they bought different kinds with different color temperatures over time. This hotel (Istanbul Hilton, now it prolly has a qualifier since there's more than one) has been there since the '50s and perhaps less popular rooms still have incandescent bulbs?

 

Addendum: yes, indeed, it's called "Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus" now. It has a Wikipedia page, even, with this fun Cold War tidbit about how/why it was built:

 

John Wilson Houser, vice-president of Hilton International, wrote a letter to Conrad N. Hilton on June 23, 1951 about the Soviet Union's intention to build a 1,000-room hotel in Istanbul similar to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, plans of which he had seen. Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus project thus became a factor in the Cold War US–Soviet rivalry.

 

Actually I have lots of them.
