| May natural light (sun light) be included with one artificial light source? Sorry if this has been answered before. |

I think it was to use artificial light only, but I am not sure, and I am not sure if it was discussed or not. I guess it's really up to the "voters".
You might get the "this isn't artificial light" comment, as even if it has been discussed, some people never ever read the posts. It would be a risk.
I was wondering about candles too. The candle its self is "man made" but fire isn't really, so I think if I were to enter a candle pic, I might be going out on a limb and risk that it might not "meet the challenge" to some people.
not sure that really helps or not. I will be interesting to see how voting on that goes.

hi david! long time no see!
no, it is my understanding that no natural light may be used. i am considering that to be sun/moonlight. as far as i know anything else goes!
i'm just editing this to reply to heather, as well!
we talked about this lighting thing in the beginning and like i said, i *think* anything goes. we even talked about fire/candles and like someone pointed out, they never had a candle growing in their front yard, hehe, so it is artificial. i am not using a candle only because i need a slightly stronger source of light for my photo, but i would, if it is what my subject called for! :)

David, I'd have to agree with Heather. It would be risky at best.
Heather, I hadn't even thought about the idea that candles or fire would be argued, but I guess you are right. Flame in any form is a naturally occuring phenom. (I have to tell another member this as he is my cube-mate at work and we discuss our pics heavily, he had a candle shot in mind.) Could you substitute a sparkler instead of the candle? (You know, like the 4th of July?) How about a camping lantern? It would offer similar lighting, but I feel it would have to be considered artificial. |

Depends on the scene. If it is 'off white/ orange/ yellow/ green' then
that is your light source.
If it is just mostly white and ending up grey, you have to use exposure
compensation, either +1 or +2 should help.

Personally, I will probably have some ambient light, not as the main source .. but probably just becasue it might just be there.
