The Flickr group that I have been mostly active in and learned the most from is the Jamaica, West Indies group. At the beginning of the year we started a project to have members participating more in the group. Each month we decide on a theme to snap pictures for and this month’s theme was “Light Source” and the aim was to use a traditional or nontraditional light source to creatively create an image and share it with the group.

I am the darkness
We had 12 entries, mine being the one above where I used a flashlight in pitch black conditions to light half of my face. It is now my background picture at work. Two of my favorite entries are viewable below.

This was abeand’s entry
I loved it so much I want to try to get this effect in the future as my current camera cannot do this right now. View more of these trailing light effect pictures from abeand here.
