Enough low angles! This time we're going to have much more enlightening subject, as each valid shot should lead the viewer into the light!
While some non-trivial interpretations of the subject may be considered, the primary goal is to include a powerful light source into your frame. The source in question may be partially blocked, but it must present enough of itself to represent a valid entry.
The list of possible light sources includes, but is not limited to: sun, moon, street light, desk lamp, flashlight, car headlights, etc. Anything that actively emits light and is much brighter than the surroundings.
As always: fresh pictures, moderate post-processing.
For the rest of the basic rules and index please check out this sticky.
Let's get enlightened! :-) :wink

This assignment is too similar to Specular Light.
I must be missing something here.
Was on my way home tonight when I noticed a fire at the airport, so I turned around to see what was going on. A small aircraft was upside down and burning. Didnt get alot of information except that everyone lived thankfully. I wasnt real happy with my execution as I had better shots but they were blurry or over exposed, heres a few that werent bad.

Hope these qualify for assignment.

If this picture is fresh, it does:- )
If not, it don't:-)
Yes, this assignment is similar, yet different. We're looking for the light source being the main subject of the picture, not just an itty-bitty part of it. Check the Douglas entry, or this one (old) of mine.
Great entries, very cool photojournalism!
I'd suggest to contact a local newspaper and offer them a copy (don't forget to charge:-)
Wow!! Those were some very lucky people. Great captures on the run!!

Another great one!
What is this place?
It's not a sun, it's not a moon, it's not a star...
it's only a frigging comet:-)

Thank you Nik.
It is a small lake close to home.
I see you caught the comet, very cool photo

One thing (amongst many others:-) SoCal is good for: clear skies 24x7 most time of the year.
Not many chances for dramatic sunsets or crepuscular rays, but at least comet shots can be taken at will:-)
Cool entries, thanks!

Awesome!
It looks like not only SoCal gets some snow this year :-)
I thought this to be a cool light shot as well....Glad the steam was covering up the sun otherwise the shot would have been no good.
