Photographer's Notes
A macro of a light bulb's filament just before it heats to full power. This was a 100 watt light bulb. Timing is everything with this shot.
Shot at a superfast ISO800 to stop the filament in mid-burn.
I really like the negative space created by the sensuous curve of the bulb. I thought of this during the light bulb contest but simply didn't have any time to set it up. I hope you like it.
This has a focal length of 130mm on my 75-300mm Tamron macro lens. Used NI and applied an ample amount of USM and saved for web.
If you've never tried to capture a filament at mid-burn, I suggest you try it. I took about 100+ shots to get this one 'perfect' (at least for me) shot :)
