Out of Darkness into the Light CONTEST - CLOSED
As the days are getting shorter we do our best to lighten our mood with lamps and candles, trying to keep the darkness at bay. This darkness can be literal or more of a metaphor (for anxiety and depression), same with the light.
For this contest, I want you to choose at least one of my stock images and create a photomanipulation with darkness and light.
You do not have to limit yourself to images depicting night scenes with candles or lamps (though those will surely give you a great opportunity for high contrast images), you can also think about other light sources in other (dark) settings. For example moonlight, magic / fairy light, an eclipse, a dark cave, sunlight shining through trees, a sunset,... The only thing I would not recommend is a full on daylight scene since there are less opportunities for showing darkness when the whole setting already is so bright. Also do not limit yourself to just actual light and dark - you can also use the concept to convey a mood, an idea or a
Possible Contest + Features!
First off, I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who commented or otherwise reached out after my last journal where I talked about feeling stuck and unmotivated. I really owe you all for encouraging me to find ways to get at least some motivation back - because I think it might've worked. I mean sure, we'll need to see if it also works long term, but I do feel a spark and my muse has at least woken from her coma ;)
So I've had an idea: why not have a stock use contest (possibly with a bit of a broad but hopefully inspiring theme)? If you feel like this could interest you - but maybe only under certain circumstances etc, please head on over to my poll and participate in the discussion via comments, too! Nothing is decided yet, but I do have some ideas :aww:
