Now that were are through being emotional (Thanks Jessa!) we are on to the next Bi-Weekly Challenge.  I tried to pick something fairly broad that you can still shoot your favorite subjects but maybe expand on the way you photograph it.  For this week's challenge there are 2 parts.  The first is capturing the effects of natural lighting.  Hopefully along with the pics posted in the challenge you will see what I mean. For me lighting or the lack thereof is what helps to capture a mood or feeling about the shot.  1   2.     With people maybe something like this 4.  Sunsets/Sunrises are a great place to capture the evening light and it's effects 5   6   7.
For Landscapes try and have lighting play a large role in the shot 8   9   10   11   12.  The main goal is to let the natural lighting have a big impact on the shot to create the tone or mood.  The second part of the challenge is totally optional but I hope you will participate.  There are so many talents that are on this site and I know some of us haven't been here long enough to see some of their best work.  So somewhere in your challenge posts please include your Top 3 shots you have ever taken.  Listed in order of favorites.  Top 1, Top 2, Top 3.  A brief description is great or not.  I hope it gives you a chance to repost some old favorites and gives us newer people a chance to see some of your great work. I really do hope it's a challenge you can enjoy!  

If you don't like the challenge at least you have a great pick for the next challenge:  jimmyneutron!
