Ok, lets see what we have this week

Not many entries, but most of them are very pleasing to me, I think its fair to share few words on each.

Twist: I love the idea, please clean the bulb and repeat it.
2 light sorces: unusual white background on a lit bulb, well "played".
A Shot in the Dark: The reflections on glass the are amazing
Edison 10: This one I won't ask to clean it, it gives the "old/used" factor.
Flashlight: You need to increase the black on the picture, we can see "noise". I like the star effect.

For the winner of this challenge I pick Twist from Jason C, Mike53545 came pretty close, but I always end up looking at Jason's picture, and that makes it a winner

Hope you guys had fun, see you in the next challenge!

I really liked JasonC's image as well and knew it would be chosen towards the top.

The "unusual" back ground in my photo is a small soft box that fits over the flash. I wanted to see the bulb and everything in it. The problem came in that the exposure for the element was at 1/8000 at f/22 on ISO 100. I set the flash up on high speed sync and with the off camera cord I placed the flash behind the bulb. And that's the photo you see. Being at f/22 the DOF allows you to see the texture of the fabric in my soft box. That's why I labled the photo 2 light sorces

This was a good one, I just couldn't come up with anything. I still should have posted something though, just to get into the habit.

Congrats Jason and everyone else that entered.

Congrats Jason!

Thank you, Warl0rd. Congrats to Mike, and great interpretations from everyone. Yeah, darn dirty bulb. I don't mind most of the dirt on the dust on this bulb, except for that one dead-center micro hair. Thought about cloning it out, but I would have just made things worse.

Yes, this shot needs to be redone with a fresh and clean bulb.

I'll have the new comp up in a few hours, Thanks.
