Filament

About this photo

A macro photograph of a glowing filament inside a vintage-style light bulb, radiating warm golden light.

This close-up shot focuses on the intricate glowing filament of a classic Edison bulb. I enjoy capturing abstract images like this, using unique framing and unusual angles or perspectives to highlight everyday objects in a new light. Chosen as part of Flickr’s 'Circle' Selection for Twitter Tuesday—https://blog.flickr.net/en/2016/03/03/twitter-tuesday-circles-the-selection/

The image is centered on the bright filament, surrounded by concentric rings of glass and metal. The golden glow dominates the composition, with subtle reflections and textures visible in the bulb’s surface.
