I loved how light and dark added a dramatic element to this textured image I created.

I got seriously lucky with this one… the lighting was just perfect to bring more drama and contrast than I thought possible.

One of my shadow photos – dark and light:

I had to move around a little to get the sun 'just right' behind the leaf.

here's mine http://www.flickr.com/photos/acbrush/5989708045/in/set-72157627482498030
Perhaps not quite as dramatic a light/dark contrast…but a little bit of light and dark nonetheless:

With all the bright sunshine lately I have had great chances playing with light and shadow! Here is one of my recent favorites.

I love some good contrast! Here is an all-time favorite…

I love shooting into a dark garage on a sunny day. http://flic.kr/p/aeyoXF
On the other hand, it's also nice to shoot into a sunny window from a darker room. http://flic.kr/p/ajgw3k
I'm always drawn to the contrast

I love images with high contrast – such a compelling combination. I have lots of high contrast images to chose from, but this one came to mind immediately: http://dorisrudddesigns.wordpress.com/2011/07/10/fort-macon-black-beard-and-beaufort/
This has become one of my favorite shots.

Morning dew on the grass lends itself to gorgeous bokeh against a dark background.

Nothing fancy – just a nice quiet picture of a fall sunset & calm water of a pond.
this labor day weekend has been all about laboring rather than resting – there is a constant light shining in my studio
http://www.flickr.com/photos/autumnsun/6116425123/
Couldn't resist the light.

very dramatic.
Yes, another flower. But it was so purdy! http://www.flickr.com/photos/liffords/5063367477/
Lovely little school house in my neighborhood… http://www.flickr.com/photos/carolannluv/6117259854/in/photostream
This is my light + my dark photo – but also my story photo too… http://thefindingofme.com/?p=1141

Winter is coming up again, and rather than dreading it, I try to remind myself that what light there is, shows up all the better against the dark: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jennifee/5266940164/
Here's my light and dark: http://www.flickr.com/photos/anngeedee/5726220699/in/photostream
I like the combination of twilight and night lights in this photo.

I love dark – it makes the light so much more striking

Just before a storm came in, the dark clouds parted and I captured this bit of light!
Love the rays of light in the bottom right third of that photo.
on saturday we had a big family gathering
it was the last hot summer day and we were all lounging in the shade under some big trees
the dappled light created a beautiful embroidery of light and dark threads
http://www.flickr.com/photos/61760618@N08/sets/72157627602072656/detail/
the light on this is just plain stunning!!!
This is one of the lights-of-my-life in some stunning light!

Serendipity – I had lit up some candles and used Instagram.

I was pretty pleased with the light and dark in this photo. Shadows create the most interesting subject.

Experimenting with 'low-key' photography. I'm fascinated by the use of shadows and outlines.

Here's an old one of mine that fits the theme
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bjakobsen-martin/5001410190/
very good
playing around with manual settings what fun and with a few surprises.

Love that photo! I love the tiny rays of light coming through. Fantastic.
We had an amazing sunset yesterday. I didn't want to mess with or edit them, because I wanted to show the real beauty I saw.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/photohugger/6114660661/in/photostream
I think this sort of works:

This is very pretty, but it makes me tilt my head a bit. I think the leaning lines in the back do it.
I was really looking for something like this.
It has helped me a lot, Keep it up, Thanks.
This is a good article worth watching,efox-shop
it's probably too late for me to add this photo here, but I really like the way this one turned out. I wonder what our dog thinks when she's looking at me like this; she seems very melancholy:
