Photo 365 - On Assignment - February (Small Things)
Yeah, OK, I know you are going to ask why did I post a picture of Christmas lights? Well I've been trying to figure out how to photograph an incandescent lightbulb that blew out and has some cool scorch marks on the inside. The problem with trying to photograph a blown out lightbulb is lighting it up, ironic. After trying a variety of lighting techniques (lamps, flashlights, candles, etc.) I tried lighting the light bulb with Christmas lights. It kind of worked so maybe I'll post that picture tomorrow. But as I worked through the lightbulb problem it dawned on me that Christmas lights are small and viola! Bust out the short zoom lens, get real close, and bam!
