.....so lets have fun with this for a day! Anything that FEATURES some kind of a photo that features UNIQUE LIGHTING qualifies. Let the contest begin!

(Remember to use a link if it is an 18+ image and note that it is 18+ so the moderators don't blow this up and lock it down).

I think a lot of my images work for this one, but this is probably the most interesting!

This was created without using any Photoshop effects. Basically battery-powered bridal string lights hanging down from a home-made variable speed mobile (like the nursery kind) and a hula hoop on the bottom holding the centrifical forces in. Setting the shot, the model ducked into the circle, I turned on the mobile, set the camera at 1 second shutter, stood on a ladder beside her and hand triggered a remote flash manually while she posed.

This has always been one of my favorites as I love creating lighting gadgets.

Something a little different......a halogen "under-shelf" display light for a bookshelf, used as a night-light in my sons room.

Don't know how unique it is, but I thought this was a cool light coming in through our kitchen.

Taken with natural lighting and no modifiers close to sunset. The only photoshop done on this was to put the border around it, and add my copywright. Taken with my cheap little Kodak camera set to black and white.

This shoot is all natural light. There was several small pines completely covered in snow behind me reflecting light back into the scene to pull down the contrast. I stopped the camera down to get a nice star burst look to the sun. I positioned myself so the sun was almost completely behind the tree.
