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.

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 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

[claudia]

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

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/

Just before a storm came in, the dark clouds parted and I captured this bit of light!

[chris]

Love the rays of light in the bottom right third of that photo.

[rakusribut]

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

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.

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.

This is very pretty, but it makes me tilt my head a bit. I think the leaning lines in the back do it.

[ephone]

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:
