How i did these ....
First of all you need to break the light bulb. I held the bulb in a bag and gently hit the bulb with a hammer. My success rate was about 1 in 3, hence buy cheap bulbs! There is another way and that's with an adjustable wrench and snap the glass at the smallest point. I believe the success rate would be a lot better than the hammer!
Once you've broken the bulb, it's a matter of choice to either clean off all the remaining glass or leave the bulb in the exact same state as first broken. If the filaments have moved, move them back in place so they are symmetrical.
I setup an old lamp stand approximately 12" in front of some black card. Attach the broken bulb, but make sure it's not plugged in! I then set the focus to manual and focused on the filaments. I used a number of various settings between f4 & f8 and a minimum shutter speed of 1/800. Set the camera to continuous shooting. No flash was used in any of these, but a couple of them I did back light the bulb but it didn't really make much difference. If anything, it gave me more pp work to do! The room also doesn't need to be pitch black, I did all of mine with natural light coming through the window!
So here goes .... Try and use a remote if you can as you have to start snapping about a second before plugging in the lamp. You literally get a couple of seconds before the bulb burns out. Hopefully this will give you about 6 shots to choose from.
Good luck all and dont forget to unplug the light before removing the blown bulb!!
'Coloumn Light' art installation, part of the Copenhagen Light Festival, February 2nd - March 3rd 2018.
this was one of the first shots i took with my G9 several years ago. i was sitting in the living room of my parents summer home in michigan and started to mess with the overhead ligh in the family room. i put the decreased the shutter speed and was throwing the camera up and down in my lap.
I APPRECIATE AWARDS, BUT I PREFER COMMENTS - OR ATLEAST COMMENTS WITH AWARDS.
I decided this would be the next comp I would work on. There was nothing extra special about this. I liked the angle this was shot at and taking on the 3 buildings in 1 comp. I caught this as I was walking to another building I was looking to shoot. When I go into LA I am constantly looking around looking for new angles of composition. People must think something is coming from the sky as I am walking because 90% of the time I am walking and driving looking at an upward angle. The driving part is tricky but can be perfected with practice.
The number of layers and versions is an insane amount. Being new to this processing takes a lot of work to see the light, angles, shapes and luminosity. I really do enjoy looking at a shot from every angle and trying different lighting schemes. It takes some trial and error. The joy is once you find the theme and lighting scheme you want to go with the comp comes together nicely but not without many more hours of shading and highlighting to create the vision. Each building is processed individually as well as the sky but as a whole to the final outcome. I do very little global adjustments. I have never used so many selections, each building is a selection as well as windows, arches, poles, panes, ridges and sky.
I am really not sure of the hours put in, I should clock in and clock out so I know how many hours I put in on a comp but that would seem to much like work. Thanks again to Joel Tjintjellar and his Master Class Video.

Diwali (also spelled Devali in certain regions) or Deepavali, popularly known as the "festival of lights", is an important five-day festival in Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism, occurring between mid-October and mid-November. For Hindus, Diwali is the most important festival of the year and is celebrated in families by performing traditional activities together in their homes. Deepavali is an official holiday in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Mauritius, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Suriname, Malaysia, Singapore, and Fiji.
The name Diwali is itself a contraction of the word "Deepavali" (Sanskrit: दीपावली Dīpāvalī), which translates into "row of lamps". Diwali involves the lighting of small clay lamps (diyas, or dīpa in Sanskrit: दीप) filled with oil to signify the triumph of good over evil. During Diwali, all the celebrants wear new clothes and share sweets and snacks with family members and friends. Most Indian business communities begin the financial year on the first day of Diwali.
Diwali commemorates the return of Lord Rama along with Sita and Lakshman from his fourteen-year-long exile and vanquishing the demon-king Ravana. In joyous celebration of the return of their king, the people of Ayodhya, the Capital of Rama, illuminated the kingdom with earthen diyas (oil lamps) and burst crackers.
In Jainism, Diwali marks the attainment of moksha or nirvana by Mahavira in 527 BC. In Sikhism, Deepavali commemorates the return of Guru Har Gobind Ji to Amritsar after freeing 52 Hindu kings imprisoned in Fort Gwalior by defeating Emperor Jahangir; the people lit candles and diyas to celebrate his return. This is the reason Sikhs also refer to Deepavali as Bandi Chhorh Divas, "the day of release of detainees". Deepavali is widely celebrated in both India and Nepal.
The first day of the festival Naraka Chaturdasi marks the vanquishing of the demon Naraka by Lord Krishna and his wife Satyabhama. Amavasya, the second day of Deepawali, marks the worship of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth in her most benevolent mood, fulfilling the wishes of her devotees. Amavasya also tells the story of Lord Vishnu, who in his dwarf incarnation vanquished the tyrant Bali, and banished him to hell. Bali was allowed to return to earth once a year, to light millions of lamps to dispel the darkness and ignorance, and spread the radiance of love and wisdom. It is on the third day of Deepawali — Kartika Shudda Padyami - that Bali steps out of hell and rules the earth according to the boon given by Lord Vishnu. The fourth day is referred to as Yama Dvitiya (also called Bhai Dooj) and on this day sisters invite
In each legend, myth and story of Deepawali lies the significance of the victory of good over evil; and it is with each Deepawali and the lights that illuminate our homes and hearts, that this simple truth finds new reason and hope. From darkness unto light — the light that empowers us to commit ourselves to good deeds, that which brings us closer to divinity. During Diwali, lights illuminate every corner of India and the scent of incense sticks hangs in the air, mingled with the sounds of fire-crackers, joy, togetherness and hope. Diwali is celebrated around the globe. Outside India, it is more than a Hindu festival, it's a celebration of South-Asian identities.
While Deepavali is popularly known as the "festival of lights", the most significant spiritual meaning is "the awareness of the inner light". Central to Hindu philosophy is the assertion that there is something beyond the physical body and mind which is pure, infinite, and eternal, called the Atman. The celebration of Deepavali as the "victory of good over evil", refers to the light of higher knowledge dispelling all ignorance, the ignorance that masks one's true nature, not as the body, but as the unchanging, infinite, immanent and transcendent reality. With this awakening comes compassion and the awareness of the oneness of all things (higher knowledge). This brings Ananda (joy or peace). Just as we celebrate the birth of our physical being, Deepavali is the celebration of this Inner Light.
While the story behind Deepavali and the manner of celebration varies from region to region (festive fireworks, worship, lights, sharing of sweets), the essence is the same – to rejoice in the Inner Light (Atman) or the underlying Reality of all things (Brahman).

Shot on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights in late December with my Nikon F3HP and Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 D lens on Harman Phoenix at EI100 and developed in ECN-2.
Scott Austin writes the Gardening column in our local paper. Today he had this to say about Snowdrops. Galanthus nivalis
"The name comes from the Greek gala (milk) and anthos (flower)... nivalis (of the snow)."
En masse they do look like little milk drops, especially before they open.

The idea for this image came from Leo Roos who stated that my Primoplan 58/1.9 should be capable of creating similar highlights as his Primoplan 75/1.9 created in his Twelve moons ascending image. OK, it took a fair length of extension tubes and fiddling with light and subject but I got a result.
And as it is still Oktoberfest at Dyxum, I'll enter this for day 14.
