Images need to be moved or re-posted
Everyone has posted images under the description of Assignment 3 - Light as Meaning. That thread is for introducing the assignment and perhaps a discussion or questions about the assignment. The images all need to be under Post Images Here - Assignment 3 - Image Submissions.

So, is important to repost everything for a solid base of the structure.

Kendrik was the first. When he is done, the task is from next, until we put all together.

@Mike Thompson I posted a image, but something is not going well, as hapened already yesterday. I hope it will be possible to fix it. Best of luck, Mike!

@Mike Thompson Yes. I see it very clear now. We all need repost here all the images that are in the wrong place. Each one, by order, is the best way for to recover the complete narrative.

Seeing with Intent - Assignment 4 - Image Submissions
Color, tone & mood. Comment on this to post images you have created for the Seeing with Intent Assignment 4: Light as Meaning. Intent: Color becomes expressive, not decorative. It's one more element that helps to tell the story.

The Journey within Matter: Moss and Solid Light Inspired by Kendrick’s exercise on tonal shifts, I chose to apply the 'time travel' concept to the botanical kingdom. I found that moss functions as 'Solid Light'—a materialized atmosphere that accepts tonal changes as if they were its own biological clock. The success with moss proves that when matter acts as 'solid light' and lacks a structure that betrays it, photography can effectively operate a journey through time. This experiment, however, revealed a crucial nuance: unlike the celestial sea, which is pure volatility, much of the plant world possesses a structural memory that resists this change of state, allowing only for a change in temperature.

Seeing with Intent - Assignment 3: Light as Meaning
Week 3 Photo Challenge: Create a photograph where light itself is the subject. Not what it illuminates—but what it says. Use light to imply emotion, tension, calm, revelation, absence, or hope. The scene may be ordinary; the meaning must come from how light behaves within it. Direction, contrast, softness/hardness all contribute to the emotional implications of your light choices Intent: This challenge asks you to move beyond light as a technical tool and treat it as narrative language. Ask: If the subject disappeared, would the light still carry meaning?

But I also believe there are moments when color is not a distraction, but the very essence of the light reflected on matter. In this photograph, the matter (the mountain) only gains its full identity because the color of the light 'dresses' it in an unusual hue, revealing a story of an encounter between heaven and earth. It is through this chromatic balm that light decides the openness and the physicality of all that we see.

@Kendric Lum In this other example of light radiating in the sky, I believe that the monochrome version is much stronger. Because the first color image already contained spots with very reduced chromatic restraint and the shapes had volume, the transition to black and white reinforced these opposites of light and dark, transforming the image into a sculpture where light is the protagonist.
