Take a photo where the subject is illuminated from a single point of light. Note: Low key photos show high contrast, and many/most of the tones will be in the shadow range. A bright photo taken with the sun as your only source of light does not qualify.
Theme suggestion by orionid--thanks! |

| We may need to add a note on this one that the majority of tones in the photo should be dark. As it stands now, an image that is lit by the sun or a 1000 watt light bulb (as long as they were the only point of light) would qualify, though they're not what orionid was going for with the theme. |

| That was addressed in the original discussion, but yeah. Always good to clarify. |

| I posted a picture in the other (Themes area) thread asking if it would be okay. Any chance I can get a yay/nay on that? I'm thinking smaller scale since I doubt I'll be able to get the people I have around in on it. Thanks. (and a welcome back from me, too) |

| I assume the subject does not have to be a person. Correct? |

Looks good. One candle = one point source.

| Would you consider a Christmas Tree one source of light? Or is that considered too many lights? |

In my mind that would depend on the picture. If the tree were in the shot, not so much |

I'm leaning towards no. The point of this theme is low-key lighting, working with a single point source and the shadows it creates with/on the subject. |

| I would think the subject being illuminated from a single point fits the first pic fine, the illumination is just coming from the inside. |
