Evening light / window view ~ Interlaken Inn, Lake Placid - in the Adirondack PARK • click to embiggenDuring our recent canoe trip in the Bog River / Low's Lake primitive area, Hugo and I worked together to make some pictures with artificial light as an supplementary light source - a kind of painting with light thing, albeit during daylight hours rather than night-time light as it is most often used.

Many natural-world macro picture makers use artificial light during daylight hours although, their intent is use it as a fill light to soften contrast and increase detail. That was not my intent, My intent was to use the artificial light as a kind of "kicker" light that might be mistakenly be thought of as being random streaks of warm natural light - much like the warm natural light streaks in the window pictures.
