Have a look at these example images using light and dark for dramatic effect.
In photography light is everything. But to have depth and drama you must also have dark and shadow. So it’s your turn to interpret that and see how you can use darkness and light in your images this week.

Share your dark and light images here:
Simply upload your shot into the comment field (look for the little camera icon in the Disqus comments section) and they’ll get embedded for us all to see or if you’d prefer upload them to your favourite photo sharing site and leave the link to them. Show me your best images in this week’s challenge. Sometimes it takes a while for an image to appear so be patient and try not to post the same image twice.
