Well what you can say about this? When you tried selling your bulbs in which best way is all you have to do show your bulb(s). Buyer will sees your bulb and determines on condition of the bulb. Most seller have trouble to take picture of the bulbs because they were blurring (hassel with digital camera to tried figure out). I have one which I recently learned from digital camera to set up with default (Just minutes to show how to do). Remember that you can not given information about the bulb to know if bulb is totally used (such as burned for how long, how bad with blister on bulb wall, tolerance with filament discrete, etc...). It should be throwing away but not to be consider with how much value undergoing with bulb (If damage bulb equal to zero valueable).

Okay, let's do it... If you have your digital camera comes with manual instruction, you could be successfully. If you don't have it (Don't worry). Many people were not professional but I know that. Go through about macro setup and autofocus setup. This picture look above it, mine is macro turned on and autofocus turned off which I setted in 0.5m (meter is equal 3 feet or 100 centermeter or 36 inches) but my camera shoot nearly 6 inches from bulb object (recommendation use with camera tripod). Other optional, strong light source when enabled autofocus with digital camera and mounted with camera tripod (be avoid shaking with tripod, this will makes blur result). If your tripod is too big or too tall but no worry, uses on kitchen table (or workbench table, etc...) with no chair in it. Keep that mind when you setted with autofocus such as multiples or centerizes but farther distance will results blurr because sensor could not prefocus whenever either your camera being shaking by your hand or poor lighting condition and also your camera lenses being dirty or fingerprinted (always keep your finger away from camera eyes). It is hard to do.

My 2 light sources are liked a cheaper 8" inches reflector with clamp on lamps (you can get it in hardware store) with 75 watt incandescent bulbs (regular soft white light bulbs) or equavilent. Photoflood is perfer for the professional photography lighting, it counted in short bulb life, and will get hot (sweaty like pig, who know...), and yes, pretty much, it is expensive to buy from camera store. My set were sold for aleast $40, it is great to use. However you can use brooder light supplied with clamp (equiped with heat lamp but not recommended for photo lighting in general heat lamp is infrared raditation and can get hot if object near or your skin near into lamp. It is CAUTION!) but don't need to buy heat lamp, you can buy powerful bulb available with 300 watt utility light bulb (Whoa! that make energy bill will soars, not really that much but don't used up all day, this wills somehow), they are huge and will given that bright enough, yet get hot, too but be careful when handle with 300 watt because filament is due fragment either dropped them or striked too hard, bulb goes burnt out early. Not recommended with plastic socket like cheap reflector lamp. Always checked into maxmium wattage on reflector lamp (sometime has sticker on it or cord with tag attached). If you don't want that bright enough like 300 watt bulb, you can go lower wattage as much (200, 150, 100, and 75 watt bulbs) for required inexpensive studio lamp in your own. 200 and 150 watt bulbs are also filament fragment...

Oh, you means smart green ones but not rather than regular household lightbulb. Darn! I wish say that, too... To Be Continued... See at... Show Me Your Bulb Part 2 (sometime soon posted)
