When taking this photo I realised that in a few years we probably won't be able take a photo like this anymore. It'll all be LED by then.
The first lightbulb was build by Humphry Davy in 1809.

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.

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

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.

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.
