It is Click of the Wild time again and Mallory totally took me out of my comfort zone this time with the focus on Unnatural Light. I used my flash more in the past two weeks than ever I think!

But that is one of the reasons I love this project so much. It makes me shoot more, and differently.

I had these idea’s of using dramatic backlight on subjects… but that didn’t happen, mainly because I do not have any off camera lighting equipment. I could have used other light sources, but honestly, I didn’t make it happen. So this is what I ended up with… tulips on my living room floor….

and to give you a good idea of what the unnatural light did for this image, here is a shot without my flash:

big difference, huh? I was kind of impressed ;) But I still prefer natural light! haha

I also took some shots in my hall bathroom, at night. I used the incandescent lights in the bathroom as my light source, no flash this time.

I put the flash back on for this random shot. I kinda like it. It feels so random and bright to have been in total darkness. I went outside around 9:30 at night and took this shot…. I was hot after getting off the treadmill, so the cold felt good, and I got a little more practice using my flash.

These next two shots are Kennedy under the trampoline at night… no flash on this one – just my iphone flash light on the ground illuminating her…

And this shot I turned my flash on….

There ya go, my take on Unnatural Light Please be sure to check out Click of the Wild and the other photographers sites for their thoughts on this focus! And thank you for looking!
