Official BimmerPost Photo Contest #19: CONTROLLED LIGHT
________________________________________
RULES:

1. Any interpretation of the theme that falls within Bimmerpost.com rules is welcome.
2. You must be the person that took the photo. Previous photos are acceptable as long as you are the one that captured the image.
3. One submission per contest.
4. Images must be no larger than 800px in any direction. Links to larger images are allowed but you must have one that is under 800px for the poll.
5. All contestants must host their own pictures (which includes hosting them on bimmperpost).
6. All images must have a title.
7. While post processing in Photoshop is allowed, adding or removing parts of the picture is not. In the event a photo is suspected to be "photo-chopped," the contestant will be asked to provide the original picture.

THEME:

a scene or frame where you control AND MODIFY all the light needed to expose the photograph. it doesn't have to be artificial light, but you do have to control all aspects of light in the scene (natural light is okay as long as you are controlling it or modifying it in some way). with one stipulation: no on-axis artificial light sources. meaning, don't use the built-in flash on your camera nor mount a flash onto your camera's hotshoe to light the scene. do not just flip the switch on a ceiling fan = uber FAIL. do not just capture available light!! and i may leave entries subject to my discretion so that all entries are of equal effort and creativeness to ensure use of modified and controlled light. if that's okay with you. ;]
all themes are open as long as these criteria are met.

you do NOT need fancy flashes/strobes to do this!! you can control natural light, or lighting fixtures with varies things (wax paper, linens, bodies....).





*I reserve the right to enforce these standards as necessary.

Be creative, have fun, dont get hurt
