PS work: The regular, Levels, Curves, Sharpen, plus... saturation and I used the burn tool on the filament. The dust particles where much of a distraction they came into good use this time, making the filament look as if it's really on fire. Oh and this is the same simple lamp used for the Incense photo. After finishing with that one, I turned around and liked the curves and metal tones so I shot it, hehe. You can see the time difference in the exif of these two.
I even forgot to change the ISO but the original is very clear, with all the detail going on.
