RRC: Blinded by the Light
Suggested by Vicki, author of the blog, Maraca
This particular challenge really challenged me, which is a good thing, because I have been wanting to step outside my personal comfort zone. It's been really rainy and dark this winter, so there just hasn't been a lot of natural light. I am not a huge fan of too much light, so the weather has suited me well enough, but for doing photos... well... it just depends on what your subject is. I was stumped with this one, but earlier this week an opportunity presented itself while in the drive-thru line at McDonalds. The car in front of me, a Prius, had the brightest tail lights I have ever seen. LOL... Ironic! EUREKA! I had my subject!
The following photos are some favorites from my archive. Natural lighting can be a lot of fun to work with. Here, see for yourself...

Carly, Sometimes it's hard to see what's right in front of you. The Prius's tail light - a good choice as is all the other beautiful shots! :)
Beautiful natural light photos!
And that is a bright taillight! Made a wonderful photo!!
I am VERY partial to the shot of the Golden Gate Bridge...that is awesome!
Oh my Carly they were all so awesome but the first had such a fun flavor
I love that you photographed a tail light! And your scenic shots are glorious.
That sunset by the bridge is simply awesome, I love it!
I wondered what your first picture was I found it beautiful without knowing what is ! Very special indeed ! to me it's the most creative one !
I very much like the Prius tail light -- so bright! The next two photos didn't come through for me but the last sunset did and that was very pretty. Wish I could see the missing two but that's the way my computer functions. Bummer!
Finally playing catch-up after being out of town. The tail light shot is kind of intriguing, a way to highlight (ouch) something ordinary so we see it in a new way. But the two sunset shots are superlative - just gorgeous!
