This is a purely found photo. I expect many photos to be setups, and likely quite a few hilarious entries. But I couldn't resist when I was walking past this light post, and I happened to look up and see a light bulb just resting in a dome. I cannot imagine why anyone would leave it in there when changing the old lightbulb. Or is it a new lightbulb ready to go when the current one burns out? Either way, it's strange, and more than meets this challenge.
Some interesting facts:
* This is my first entry with my new 50 1.4 after the 50 1.8 broke a few weeks back. I don't expect it to do as well as this lens can do, but that's more a reflection of the subject than the lens.
* I first edited this photo on my iPad, and got an image I liked. Then I came home, and took a stab at it with Topaz B&W Effects. I really disliked the effect I got there, so went in to re-work it with ideas I got from the iPad edit. The result was a photo with very similar style to the iPad edit, but higher quality.

#3, tied with another.
A quirky photo that I'd hang on my wall. Don't know what it's a shot of; lights, but what kind? And why is there a bulb within a bulb? Who cares, it still gets a good score.
