I must say, I’m a great fan of interesting light to inject interest or drama into images. I shall start with an obvious one, a sunset….there are sunsets and sunsets, but the one last evening had some drama
I love sunlight through windows, creating patterns on the floor:
And this scene would have been quite different on a dull day, sunlight was a bonus creating depth in the image
And here we have light bringing out the contours of the old ruin:
One of my favourite things is backlight to bring out texture, as with these flowers….the petals look almost translucent:

An interesting set of images. What’s the ruin?
You must know it – Rievaulx Abbey, from Rievaulx Terrace
I tried to make it into Rievaulx, and couldn’t quite. Must Try Harder.
Well, it may be the position I took it from, don’t berate yourself!! 😄
You know me. I like a good berate.
😳😄😄😄
I was wondering the same, Yorkshire isn’t it? Apologies I’m new to this blog 😀
Rievaulx is in Yorkshire, yes. I visited with some friends when I was with them a good few years ago now. Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting, Nick….I’m off to see your blog in a while
Those are beautiful windows, Sue. That room feels very restful 🙂 🙂
It was
Some real beauties, Sue. I love the Rievaulx shot. And a great example of backlight. Something people are told not to do but used properly it is a great 👍use of light.
Thanks, Debbie, pleased you like these. And I think with manual settings on the camera, it is perfectly possible to get the right exposure
Re: Your sunset – I am expecting to see the silhouette of Scarlet O’Hara and Rhett Butler coming from the right.
And I really like your Dance of the Daffodils.
Love your idea of a Gone with the Wind scene! And pleased you like my defunct daffs, Elke!
Good choices indeed, Sue. I always enjoy that rusty car woodland ‘graveyard’.
Best wishes, Pete.
Yes, and I’m told there really isn’t much left to see now….
Lovely photos Sue, that ruin looks so interesting. The flower, you have captured the decay details beautifully.
Pleased you have enjoyed these, Ritva!
I love a post-sunset sky. 🙂 I’ve enjoyed seeing the natural light challenge – especially when offering a wide variety as you have done. Thank you!
You’re most welcome, Frank!
Well done Sue – hadn’t seen the ruin before and didn’t recognize the name in the comments. Must add it to my list. Your images are all lovely and point to the importance of light in our compositions. Your closing image is really a stunner. Did you white out the background in P/S or were you fortunate to find them standing alone? In either case it’s a wonderful image.
Pleased you like these, Tina! As for the last image, the daffs were placed against a white blind with the sun streaming through!
Sue, these are fabulous photos! I like the window and the old car and the daffs the best……I have a question do you know what that knobby looking plant is on the table? Cady
Some sort of cactus, I would say, Cady!
Oh!
The interior room with the pattern on the floor — looks cozy and resonates with me.
Cosy it was
Beautiful window! The ruin image is very beautifully framed. The Dance of the Daffodils is so cool, my favorite!
Thank you, Sue!
Yay! Really pleased you like these, Amy!
It is a wonderful blending of things. The lighting on your daffs is special. I like the old wreck in the forest. 😀
Quite a lot of old wrecks in the forest further behind the one you focus on to start with….
Always love light streaming through windows, especially stained glass.
Indeed!
Great examples. Very well done. Where is that church ruins?
The abbey is Rievaulx, in Yorkshire. A most impressive ruin
I love that window, the ruin, and of course, your dead flowers. 🙂
Thank you, Janet!
An amazing sunset and I love the ruins. Your last image is really brilliantly done, Sue.
Yay! Thank you 😊😊
Fabulous, Sue – and I love that window! Recognized the cars too…no limos
No limos AT ALL!
😀
I don’t photograph the many times I stop and enjoy the way the light is shining on a place or object. I appreciate the way you capture such moments and share them. I like knowing that you also treasure these ordinary moments.
Thank you, Elizabeth! Sine I retired, I have more time to notice things
Me too for sure.
😊
you are a lighting guru 🙂
Thank you!!
Can’t have been, there’s no arch elsewhere
