A lot of us have Christmas stuff going on, so there’s plenty of opportunities there.
For those that aren’t into Xmas light, theres neon lights, lamps, streetlights, candlelight, moonlight ….. but show the source of the light in your shot!https://www.lightstalking.us/clipping-the-highlights/ by Dahlia Ambrose

My image is the front porch of a lodge in southern Ohio. I can’t wait to go back and rock on the porch with my favorite beverage, listening to the birds in the woods. Mike

Very nice and inviting spot Mike. I really admire the way you always keep control of the whites and highlights in your pics, just slightly blown but not too much. Works really well. John Denver could’ve written a song about a place like this 🙂

This looks like a wonderful spot to watch the setting sun. Very serene, with a perfect sunset. Hopefully you had a Corona in hand and toasted the end of a beautiful day. Mike

I was utterly entranced when I saw the late afternoon light filtered through this tree on the banks of the Suwannee River in northern Florida. I didn’t think the picture did any justice to the actual scene, but it’s close. (This is NOT enhanced)

Pamela, the multi-colored light rays are amazing! What a beautiful effect to be able to capture. Mike

The Lamp is an object at this year’s Amsterdam Light Festival. It is designed by the Dutch artist Jeroen Henneman. I was in my hometown Amsterdam on a location recce with a producer of Discovery for a shoot we had this week. We passed by these lamps and I remembered this weeks challenge. Took out my Galaxy and here you go. It’s not me in the image. It’s the Discovery producer.

Very whimsical shot, Erik! Looks like there is another desk lamp further behind you, or is that a reflection?

Terrific image David. Neighbours must think your a bit kooky spinning light balls in the front garden?

And to prove that it is not ALL lightpainting in my photo’s…

How long was the exposure in the bridge photo? The light and colors are beautiful.

Maybe you didn’t light paint this David, but you did a masterful job of painting the light…

Thanks everyone. This was taken from the deck of a cruise ship somewhere in the South Pacific – New Caledonia? The tug had just accompanied us out of harbour to see us on our way.

I put my Christmas tree up for the last challenge but it fits better here for this Theme … so I’m going to repost it here … a little light painting around the tree

Love it! A Christmas tree with a sparkly halo. Now if you could market that effect, you’d sell a million!

Love the second one. Very psychedelic! Reminds me of my college days! 😉

There is a great story here Bobbie and it looks like all work. Your students didn’t stick their hands into the plaster? 🙂

A great rendition of light and shade Bobbie. I agree with the others, there is a story here, maybe several. Nice rendering (metaphorically speaking).

I love the various textures and how they are emphasized with the lighting. Very nice! Mike

Thanks so much to all of you for your comments. It’s always a wonderful feeling to hear from people whose creations often inspire me.
Admins – I wish there was a forum situated between the non-critical challenge forums and the totally critical shark tank – a place where we could get some “friendly suggestions”.

Lovely shots Gray. The first one is straight out of the set of ‘Midsummer Murders’, a TV show I was watching recently. Lovely golden hues.

I can’t resist sharing this guy (I photograph Frosty every year) from our Country Christmas Parade:
And here is one straight into the sun on a foggy morning:
-
Great compo and mood in the horses through the fence Leanne…
-
-
-
-
Seems Frosty may have a bit too much egg nog. 🙂
Horses framed by fence is a really nice image.
Don’t know why this showed up under Toms. Hit reply three times on Leanne’s post and all three showed my text box under Tom’s. Third time I went ahead and submitted my reply.
Nice colorful bokeh Tom. 🙂
-
Did frosty fall over or are there too many low-hanging cables along the route Leanne? The horses/fence pic is great. Nicely framed and who would have thought barbed wire could hold such an important place in the compo?
(My reply is in the wrong spot too?)

Thanks for kind comments all of you! Graham and Dave: Frosty is ‘tipsy’ as he is ‘made’ out of a cement mixer. If you look closely at the right you can see the front of the truck, in red. He parks in front of the local Redi-mix until Christmas. My favourite float in our little parade.
Bobbie – no crazy PP in this one…the fog is responsible for the sun looking larger. The colours were barely tweaked…just enhanced a touch (I am a minimalist in that department typically). It was a pretty awesome morning for interesting light. I always try and get out when there is fog.
Funny thing…I found out after sharing the horses on Twitter, that the horses belong to a friend. They were very friendly and I had nose smears on my lens to prove it. This shot was taken just before they came over for visits!

Shot this last summer in available light, hand held. Just had a chance to look at it.

I really really like this bucweeet. Feels like every photon has been used to maximum efficiency with none wasted on unimportant peripheral stuff. The yellow lights against the pale blue window curtains, hovering above the table setting make for a dark mystery thriller story ambience.

Vishal, your post started out with some great suggestions, but ended with advertising for services. I don’t think that this is allowed on this discussion group. Mike

Nice colourful pics Kent with some similarities. Two big buildings with a taller tower between them. I’m struck by the thought that despite the traffic in the first pic and the lack of traffic in the second, the sky remains the same colour in both parts of the world. Is pollution just a big hoax 🙂 LOL!
-
I always love your comments Graham. I was actually struck by the similarities as well, which is why I posted both of them. Of the two places… China definitely has WAY more air pollution. Although, the locals told me it’s getting far better than it was 15 years ago.

I like the ‘welcome home’ feel of this shot Holly. I reckon nighttime porches would make a good throwdown.

Thanks Robert, they’ve brought out another two lens in the range, well worth looking at. I may be getting another one for xmas, so I’ll let you know how I get on.

And a question for Rob: Why is it that Tersha’s link to a photo on flickr works, while my link to a photo on EyeEm doesn’t?

These are the work lights in the basement of a barn. I’m drawn to how they aren’t straight.

Interesting insight, Preston. They do have a lovely curve. Don’t they.

This was a high res shot which is composed of 9 exposures total, total shutter time of 6 minutes. There was a meteor shower going at the time and if you look close there are five captured in this scene through the foggy sky.

Beautiful overall lighting plus the light trail. The photo conveys a mood.

The car lights make this Robert, although the overall light is lovely too!

This is an image from the Amsterdam Light Festival.
Parabolic Lightcloud. I like the form. But the description of the Light Festival / Artists what it means and is supposed to convey give me goose pimples (or in Dutch, kromme tenen).
