333 - Red Pendant

From 365 Project
I saw this red pendant light while eating lunch today and took a closeup photo. The texture in the red glass shade produces different shades of red. Canon G10, 1/160 sec @ f/4.5, ISO 200 under exposed from the camera's meter reading by 2 full stops.

Really fun, eye-catching shot! The camera was probably metering on the bulb if you had to underexpose. I love the way it came out though.

Thanks Cait, The meter was playing tricks because I was zoomed all the way out so that bright light bulb in the center just dominated. Great thing about digital - shoot one, look, adjust and shoot another - repeat cycle until desired results are achieved.

Edison Filament Light Blub

Image
This is a reproduction on an early 20th Century "squirrel cage" carbon filament light bulb built by Thomas Edison. In today's modern reproductions the filaments are made of tungsten, which burns three times brighter than the original carbon filament versions. They are really getting popular in vintage bare blub fixtures. This one was hanging over my table at Tarrant's Cafe , 1 W. Broad Street in Richmond Virginia. Canon G15, 1/15 sec @ f/8.0, ISO 200, in macro mode.
