This week your photography challenge is to take and share an image with the theme of ‘artificial light’. This is an opportunity for you to experiment with some kind of lighting that is not ‘natural’. Whether it be the popup flash on your camera, a speedlight flash, off camera flash, studio lights or even lights around your home (lamps, christmas lights, candles, torches, sparklers, car lights etc) – take a shot that is artificially lit in some way and share it in comments below.

The subject matter can be pretty much anything – as long as there’s some element of artificial light in it – let your imagination run wild!

Once you’ve taken your best “Artificial Light” image, upload it to your favourite photo sharing site and either share a link to it below or embed it in the comments using the our new tool to do so. Please note it sometimes takes us a while to approve comments with images as there’s a moderation queue – particularly over the weekend.

If you tag your photo on Flickr, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag it as #DPSFRAMING to help others find it. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.

PS: don’t forget to check out some of the great photos shared last week in the ‘Framing’ challenge.
