Just part of my living room caught my eye thismorning before the sun had a chance to change the lighting. In this shot I wanted the light from the lamp to stand out but I also wanted what was dark to remain dark. For the effect I set the FZ20 on F8, Manual Mode and setthe exposure bar to the far left.

very nicely done! i like the effect... almost like candlelight, with the dark shadows and the yellowhue to the light. you might try resizing the pic a little smaller for posting, though, so folks can see it without so much scrolling...
