Light bulbs, a photo from Rome, Lazio

Photographer's Note

The incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe makes light by heating a metal filament wire to a high temperature until it glows. The hot filament is protected from air by a glass bulb that is filled with inert gas or evacuated. In a halogen lamp, a chemical process returns metal to the filament, extending its life. The light bulb is supplied with electrical current by feed-through terminals or wires embedded in the glass. Most bulbs are used in a socket which supports the bulb mechanically and connects the current supply to the bulb's electrical terminals.
Incandescent bulbs are produced in a wide range of sizes, light output, and voltage ratings, from 1.5 volts to about 300 volts. They require no external regulating equipment, have low manufacturing costs, and work equally well on either alternating current or direct current. As a result, the incandescent lamp is widely used in household and commercial lighting, for portable lighting such as table lamps, car headlamps, and flashlights, and for decorative and advertising lighting.

Hola Daniel!
Nice crop and play of shadows of these odd lamps. I guess it was very hot in Rome in August, isn't it?

Cheers!
Juan

Hello Daniel,
A well framed composition with superb saturated tones that help create a particular atmosphere. I like the unusual point of view and the repeating motifs of the lamps with their interesting shadows.

Bonjour Daniel,

J'aimerais bien un jour revisiter Rome et la voir à travers tes yeux. Ce serait un Rome complètement différente. Un cadrage bien réussi.

Amicalement

Hi Daniel
What fabulous close up of intriguing subjects neatly arranged full of character and charm as well. Effective crop in superb details and delicate textures. Lovely rich tones in warm light with some strong graphical feel so sharp and superb clarity. The contasting colors are stunning but somehow blend nicely. The convergence carries more strength and power to the shot as well as accentuates the depth. A delightful image well taken and good observation. Congrats.
Best regards

Hi Daniel

You really love those golden tones, and so do I. The diagonal lines and the play of light and shade are simply wonderful. Congratulations on a simple yet very elegant photo.

Un abbraccio

Hi Daniel,

The light bulbs 100 volts and over are already not allowed for sale. I have still some but soon I will have to use other types, much more expensive. Amazing that Rome is in sucg a warm honey colour. nice lamps, like for Christmas tree.

Warm regards
