The Light
Light.
Direct, reflected, soft or harsh… I am never indifferent to the quality it brings to a scene.
Especially in the early morning or towards evening, I often find myself held while I should be doing something else, simply watching as the light changes.
This week, I wonder, how do you capture light in your photography? How does the evolving, shifting light shape the world you see — its textures, its moods, its fleeting moments?
As we move towards summer in the North and winter in the South, we are on the cusp of change, and I feel especially aware of the shifting quality of the light.
City streets, interiors, portraits, fields, oceans — wherever you are, the true subject is the light itself: its glimmer, its shadow, its elusive brilliance.
Show us that shot that make you go, "Wow! Look at that light!"
As always, standard rules apply:
Contest closes May 4th at 8am, BST.
