Incandescent bulbs are being phased out. While the energy conservationist in me is happy that people will be forced to use less electricity, the photographer in me is a bit sad. Incandescents are generally much more interesting to photograph and CFLs or LEDs. Especially the clear bulbs.
This shots is actually 10 photos, taken with a macro focusing rail, and stitched together with Helicon Focus. I started with focus on the upper right part of the filament, and made my way towards the middle of the bulb.
It's really too bad about this 800px size limit. At bigger sizes, you see the coil of the filament. At 800px, not so much. That loss of detail really hurts this photo.
But I still think it's nice, and I hope to see some good votes on it.
