Ah Ha!

Well, can you tell I was bored?

but ya know.. its a nice light bulb, the grain and position are good and it does attract attention...:)

i always think that bulbs are the most boring thing. but you have made a nice photo. there is a high artistic sense in it. i dealt once with bulbs. i'd like you to see it in my single photos.

nice capture, justin.

Keep having no idea and get bored more often. This looks like fun!

lol....thanks all. This is what happens @ 2am when I can't sleep and on top of that bored. Oh well, maybe I'll start sleeping with my camera in my hand..lol

See ya!

Bingo! This one really caught my eye Justine. :-)

Thank you Thomas!

Yup, I like it too. I like a spin on the ordinary and I think that is what you have accomplished here. What really caught my eye was the washed out appearence created by your grain... nice touch.

Thank you Erin!

Justin- I like this not only because your compositional choice is eye pleasing, but it is so well exposed. The gentle shadow of the light keeps it anchored to the ground. With a high key image like this, sometimes things appear as though they are floating in air. You have done a supper job :) I like the old feel of the graining, but I would also like to see this one without it. Just for comparison.

 

Really nice job of capturing a simple, everyday item :)

LOL.....thanks so much! Here again is one of those shots where I asked myself....."how'd I do that?"....LOL

 

I used a large piece of foamboard that was angled exactly how you see this shot. Not flat in other words. It took me a second to get the lightbulb to sit like that and not roll off. I had my 20D in my hands and turned on a worklight from above, which is all I had at the time besides my 550. I think I may have used the grain filter in PS to give it the effect I was trying to convey.

 

Thanks again for being so helpful to me!

I can't believe the way some anonymous raters rate pictures. I was expecting to see this shot somewhere around the high 5's or even low 6's...

 

Great shot, very creative use of digital filters.

Thank you for the kind words my friend!

I was taking a glance through your images and this one really caught my eye. Not to say that the others aren't good, but you've taken such a mundane object and made it so striking. Good job! I'm going to have to try this sometime! (Maybe not a light bulb though.)
