The bulb that I was replacing said:
June 28, 2017. Julia: 14 months
Fun to think that this bulb was installed when Julia was a mere 14 months old.
This bulb didn't burn out. It was too yellow for my liking. I thought I was replacing a bulb that was 2700k. But now that I look at the temperature reading on this old bulb, it says 3000k. The new bulbs I put in are also 3000k. Nuts. I should have put in 3500k bulbs so they are more neutral. When I'm taking photos, I can't stand having yellow-ish tint lighting. All the photos turn out so yellow. I love having neutral lighting that is pure white. The colors turn out so much better.
I got a bunch of these light bulbs for a quarter a piece. I wanted to break the glass and shoot them as the filament burns out but they turned out to be real difficult to work with. You get what you pay for, the glass is really badly nicked and pitted on the outside and dirty on the inside. So any light on them and they looked dipped in dust. This was the only way they looked decent.
Lighting: AB800 in a medium soft box behind. Dark card blocking direct light between bulb and softbox, 25W light bulb that is in the shot was on a vairac set to ~80Vac
Andy, Maria and I went to check out the latest exhibition at the Sendai Mediateque. There were lots of interactive installations on display, plus these giants walls filled with painted masks.
We tell Woolworths to seize the Light, taking them thousands of signatures from their customers asking them to shelve inefficient bulbs and stock CFLs. (c) Butterton/Greenpeace
