You could make a chap give up if you carry on with work as beautiful as this.

So lovely, if only I could come close.

Chiaroscuro

Chiaroscuro

Means, 'light out of dark', and while 90% of the contributors nailed
in wonderfully, some folks just don't get it.

Traditionally, it is portrayed as complete darkness with faces lit by candlelight.

I'd forgotten that I'd started this topic here - well, it was over six years ago now so I may be forgiven the lapse of memory.

There are many, many good photographs here - but by no means all of them are what I would classify as chiaroscuro.

There is a good exhibition on at the National Gallery in London, unfortunately finishing today if you've not seen it, called Beyond Caravaggio, showing many fine examples of this style in art, which they summarise as a combination of drama and lighting.

Please continue to post your photographs to this fascinating thread.

I hope this one might qualify... a dark interior lit from the chimney hole.
