Lens-Artists Challenge #138: Natural Light
There are abundant opportunities to capture natural light as sunlight changes color over the course of the day. Light is different every day and every moment. You may also include photos of backlight and/or side light in your own yard/ local parks or shadows from your windows.
~~~
I’m always chasing the light. If I’m lucky, the sun shoots its magic through my living room windows at just the right time so I can catch it. Flowers are hastily moved to one spot after another…on a hastily cleared shelf…

There’s no time to waste…

Natural light cooperates more fully outdoors. If you’re paying attention…it may surprise you…


But my favorite natural light captures are at the end of the day…

…and as day turns into night.

These are all beautiful. I especially like the tulip.

Thank you Tina. Light and color combine for amazing collaborations. That sunset is my reward at the end of the day – a view from the back of my condo.

I love the bug surprise, Andrea, and of course the lake that reflects the beginning of sunset. The last one reminds me too much of all the CA fires, even though it isn’t one. 🙂 Gorgeous shots.

They are lots easier to photography than birds, in my opinion! 🙂

I agree! Birds are not cooperative enough for my skills, but maybe someday….
