This is one of Louize's efforts and all her own idea, for me this was very well seen and framed and what's more a very different type of sunset shot. This is a view along the river Thames with the Dartford Bridge in the distance.
This interesting wall lamp was found on a very narrow street in the town of Bruges.in the Netherlands . Many of these light were hung along the walkways and roads.

Calcium Carbide lamps originally date from around the start of the 20th century. This pair belong to my husband who used them for caving, they are from the mid 1970’s.
The caving, or mining lamp, has calcium carbide placed in its lower chamber, called the generator. Water is then put in the upper reservoir.
A valve is used to control the rate at which the water drips through into the chamber containing the calcium carbide. Controlling the rate of the flow of water determines the production of acetylene gas. This in turn controls the rate of the gas flow and the size of the flame at the burner and the amount of light it produces.
The lamp has a reflector behind the flame to help project the light forward, this type of lamp produces a very bright broad light.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

... it was my project, to make alive the short boring corridor... i added a small pot of plant at the height... made a lamp cover, with cardboard and aluminum foil, and with a transparency of flower at the front to make the light soft… paste some flower photos on walls as a small exhibition…
… in order to capture the light from the lamp and also details, I used HDR with +/– 3 EV… and applied heavy softening and pixelization to mask the noises due to high ISO …
