NEW
One more to the show - I guess it was on New Year's day.
A sailing vessel almost 100 years old - photographed in the Blazerhaven Workum, Friesland / The Netherlands.
Wonder what he was fishing for, and what he caught'Goin' fishin for a week ...'

One of my favorite things are incandescent light bulbs.
Oh very interesting, an unlit light bulb, ... showing the element of its light, ... unlit.Filaments. It's all in the filaments! ... Those filaments are gorgeous - various gauges, various paths for them to run.
@Marttiko - great pictures of the motorcycle. There is something about this image, the mood created by the light , that makes it my favorite of the three. What was focal length of the lens you were using?
It has a mid-telephoto look to me also.this looks 180mm to me
Oooh, let me join in!
One of my favorite things are incandescent light bulbs.
I don't get the trend replacing them bulbs with LED's everywhere. Especially in cold climates - I fucking welcome the "waste" heat in my living room when it's -20C outside and the house isn't isolated that well/built up to the code. Especially when replacement is performed with flickering LED's with poor CRI - every non-specialty replacement bulb out there practically - do we OK this poor quality of light as photographers? LEDs that are faking incandescent and digital often faking analog, even to the level of built-in profiles - something's up with this picture.
I dig diversification. Going all digital isn't progress, it's utopia in my mind. Why should one bother installing pumps and smart control/apps for them, if coolant can carry itself with convection by knowing how to use pipes with various diameters and there's no moving parts to fail ever? Same for ventilation and AC that can be achieved entirely passively. Same I feel towards photography I guess - why ditch the old and rush towards digital when analog offers a set of properties unique just to it? I find these thoughts and the blind rush towards the "progress" somewhat entertaining.
Filaments. It's all in the filaments! I can easily underrun those beauties, macro the shit out of them and place everything in the latitude of the film. Those filaments are gorgeous - various gauges, various paths for them to run. Twisted filaments, straight filaments, spiraling ones or even spirals made out of spiraling filaments; neon plates, flickering candle neon lights; strange, alien-looking radio lamp filaments - what's there not to like?
And I got additional kick photographing them after reading the quite unique Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall years ago - a book I fell in love with for various reasons. One of them being the so-called "Light Bulb Fragments" - something I borrowed as the working title for the macro series, hehe.
So here's an OLD one. Light bulb with bokeh shape in front of the lens. Today am planning to scan new ones I shot last week.
... Different light sources are quite interesting topic both historically and visually!
Oh, absolutely and them being a tech on a phase-out gives additional kick indeed!Different light sources are quite interesting topic both historically and visually!
Hehe, here's another one I shot this december. It's a quite powerful projection bulb with Edison base - underrun.Please do post another!
... My favorite hand tool, that is a very versatile molding plane that can use with multiple cutters. to make moldings and photo frames.

Yes, ... and its wonderful in that no rush can be used. in its use.Wow, how cool!
Yes, ... and its wonderful in that no rush can be used. in its use.
And the cadence and rhythm of the plane is an experience that has a fulfillment of its very own, like the image it will eventually show!
And then after all the fun, focus and time, ... of that one sequence, ... there comes a time for the changing and set up for a new blade.
Then the sequence starts again, and takes place with another observation of the facts of events, .. as the fine shape of a new cut of planed wood spirals up and away from the source of what it once was, and falls to the shop floor.
Ah.. yes and in the end, .. all is rewarded by what was once a flat, .. four sided piece of wood, which is now molded and shaped into a configuration that can be cut and made into a frame, where within, .. can be mounted a favorite image of an event taken away in the memory of a moment, a day, week or lifetime ago.
Much like photography .. one step at a time, that becomes in time, a process that unveils our creativity.
Heehaw .. Ride em cowboy...
Thanks Roger, ... andSounds like the makings of a YouTube video. Nice image too!!!
HaHaHa .. and Noooooooooooooo! .. the tripod will not work with this plane ,,,Can we keep this on a level plane, please?
