A Light in the Darkness

This is the sister photo to my “End of a Brilliant Career” which I posted a couple months ago. I just came across it again and I love them both in their differences and similarities.

    Super Donnell in the effort to educate me – can you tell me how you lit it and what you had it sat on etc. How you composed it… – I’d love to start trying some of this stuff.

    Thanks! I had the bulb sitting on top of a mirror on my coffee table in the living room. The background light is from the open front door. Tripod. ISO 200 – f4.5 – shutter 1/100. I used my Sigma 50mm 2.8 DG Macro lens.

    thanks mate! – you’d think the Macro lens I ordered was coming from Mars….3-4 weeks can’t wait to get my hands on one :o)

    Beautiful shot Donell. The blue tone on it looks great.

    We used kind of the same name for a capture of the subject: lightbulbs! The way you managed to controle reflections and capture colour in this shot is just great… I’ve got some trial shots to make…

    I noticed the similar name when I looked through your profile. Great minds think alike!
