Theme: 
A Splash of Light

Aim for a scene where a small portion is lit by a splash of light and the rest is in shadow. Seek out a deep forest or a darkened room for a compelling composition. The beginning or end of a sunny day, when the sun is close to the horizon and is casting long shadows, may offer good opportunities. Nighttime is also a great time to find shadows and bits of light waiting for you to compose into a photo. You may also be able to manipulate your own lighting to create a beautiful photo, either outdoors or indoors. Look at light and shadow as the main subject, and use your imagination to do something special with them.
