K is for Broken Filament

How to find a K in a light bulb....first examine all the bulbs, then wrap the most suitable in kitchen paper and whack it (gently) with a hammer. {for a sensible mumsy like me this was unspeakably exciting!} Carefully re-arrange the filament into a K shape and take a close-up shot (with a candle behind it to brighten it up). Weird but since when was my project normal?!
OverJoyed at your jenerous comments on my little J-shaped snake yesterday - he was blue with a blue nose ... drastically transformed by the power of the picmonkey.
Have a Terrific Tuesday!

[Helge Erik Storheim]

My first thought when I saw this was: "You did not take this with your Canon!" ;-) Great K, great macro shot and I love that silky smooth, grey background. PS. Hope you didn't kill a perfectly good light bulb to get the shot ;-)

[Cathy Donohoue]

Now that is a K!
And a light bulb. You have such great ideas!

[Shirley Banford]

I don't know anyone else who would do this. You're really into this. Lovely "K' and DOF.

[Sue Hawkins]

loving your alphabet series Phil! I woudnt have the time or paitence right now for this!

[Sam C-R]

Awesome alphabet series! had to follow to see the rest! x

[Gloria]

Brilliant seems to be the predominant adjective for this, being light bulb and all...
Brilliantly clever.

[Sharon]

Nice crisp clear image! Nice K and composition.

[Bev]

ROFL!! You're description made me chuckle. I love how you got this shot! Wrap it and smack with hammer... lol ... I am glad you didn't cut yourself This is a great shot, Phil! It captures the K perfectly. I just hope you didn't kill a live bulb but smashed up a spent one! Well done, Phil! :)

[Justine Wood]

Genius! :-)

[Lisabell]

Who knew a filament would be so interesting up close? I can't find any more watches to pry open so perhaps I should start smashing light bulbs.

[Lisa Pouncy]

Now this is really clever. You're getting more and more creative the further along the alphabet you go xx

[bmnorthernlight]

hahaha, if it wasn't so brilliant, I'd start worrying about you right about now...where do you get these ideas from?!!

[Sean O'Neill]

Fantastic Phil. The best so far I think.

[Cassandra Hoffmann]

Ooh your alphabet is just awesome! I like how you say "for a sensible mumsy like me" :)

[Mara]

I had a look at your albums & interview. You're doing something kncredible with your project. I admire your creativity and great ideas. Brava!
