/ April 7, 2014Well done M, I love this shoot. It turned out really well. I’ve seen these lightbulbs around and love them but they’re quite expensive! I think the 2nd shot works, but it would have popped more if it didn’t illuminate the wire.

/ April 7, 2014How cool, M! I love the lines of the bulb. The back-light in the third image is just a bit jarring. Maybe you could’ve done something to soften it?
Namrata
/ April 7, 2014Hi M. Its really very tricky to shoot light. I like the second pic. I love the fact that the bulb is not in the center of the pic… it really catches the eye. Inspite of having limited resources you come up with inspiring shots.

/ April 7, 2014My favourite shot has to be the 3rd one! I like the way the brown circle breaks the jet blackness of the background. Great photography as always!

/ April 7, 2014Hi M! I love this shoot! You set yourself up for a challenge photographing in darkness…but this pictures came out wonderfully! They have a very Victorian feel to them, also like I just stepped into the movie “The Prestige”…well done! x

/ April 8, 2014How courageous. To shoot in the dark. You captured the filaments so well. The detail is stunning. These photos are gorgeous.
Samta
/ April 8, 2014Roxy spoke my mind – I felt I was transferred to the movie “The Prestige” too – I guess thats the light bulb effect.
I loved the first picture – the filaments are so beautifully lined there and nicely illuminated too.

/ April 9, 2014Like everyone said, you were brave to shoot in the dark. I like the raw feeling and even like wire in the second frame. You could have probably tried on a diffuser like a lamp shade to give it a depth. Other than that, I like the minimalism you have going on in it.

/ April 10, 2014I like the filaments glowing in the first photo. Love the theme – Light. Can I join the Photography styling challenge? As it is late and all of you have posted, is it okay for me to join now?
Redesigned By M
/ April 10, 2014Of course you can! Do you want to post for Light this month or wait until next month (Living Room)? There are only two more themes after Light.

/ April 11, 2014Thanks, Dillon! Those lightbulbs ARE expensive! I found mine for under $6 each through Amazon, so I thought it was quite the savings from other places. In the 2nd shot, I actually wanted the wire to be illuminated… just a bit more. I am so terrible with shooting lighting!
Redesigned By M
/ April 11, 2014I didn’t even notice that in the 3rd shot! I’m sure I could’ve toned down the glare a bit more in post-edit, but as we can’t edit….

/ April 11, 2014Thanks, Namrata! This was definitely a challenging theme, which really shows my weakness and which area I need to work on more.

/ April 11, 2014Thanks, Supriti!

/ April 11, 2014I guess they do kind of seem like that, huh! Suppose it’s the nature of the bulbs… they’re so vintage, haha. Glad you liked this photo shoot.

/ April 11, 2014Thanks, Nicole. I admit I didn’t shoot in complete darkness. The wall just happened to be painted black, so it looks like I did.

/ April 11, 2014Thanks, Samta. I was very pleased that the filaments were captured as well as they did.

/ April 11, 2014Thanks for the idea, Vaish! I hadn’t thought to shine a third light on the staging. Probably would’ve illuminated the whole photo shoot A LOT better.
