Good luck all and ill do my very best to get a poll ready on the 1st of October so the winner can post a new theme quickly.

A good theme, especially as, in Europe, our nights are drawing in. Lots of darkness to play in. Sad when Summer (what Summer lol) comes to an end.

Good theme. Must pull my finger out this month.

Will definately have to have a play with this one, this will be my first monthly entry and already my head is working overtime. :cool:

TBH I hate this subject but in true spirit I will give it a go.

Yup that makes two of us but then it is because I am totally pants at it, maybe if I give it another go I will learn to love it;)

Good technique though and I do love painting with light images.

Theres more than one way to paint with light....A night shot for example, of a rock or statue...Using a torch to paint the object gives great effect rather than a set light shining in one position. It doesnt have to be (im guessing) the classic long exposure with someone writing with or waving about, a torch.

Correct. This isn't limited to a set thing. I have 4 ideas, and all but 1 is completely different to the other.

This was my last attempt that involved using a maglite and one of those shower scrungy things:-
