We are so blessed with talent over at the Lighting Essentials Flickr Pool. This weeks selection is wonderful and exciting, cool and hot – all at the same time. This group has 27 very nice images to inspire you and lift your spirits.

Before we go down the pool to see some of the amazing work that has been collected here, I would like to mention a few things that are happening here at Lighting Essentials.

Workshops are in full swing. Seattle this weekend, and Tampa area next weekend. Then we have the special Mexico workshop on the horizon. Check out the workshop site, www.learntolight.com for more information.

Our contest for February is drawing to a close, so get your submission in before Saturday night. You can see the current monthly submissions at the contests page. Special thanks again to BorrowLenses.com and Mighty Imaging for their support on this contest. We are getting ready to announce the assignment for March by this coming weekend.

Be sure to see our latest Tech Sheets. They range from a three page tutorial on using Tilt-Shift lenses, to using a couple of speedlights to add a little hint of natural light to a non-natural light set.

On to the great images from our Lighting Essentials Artists. As usual, the images link back to the photographer who created them. And as usual, any image that may be considered NSFW is at the bottom of the page and there is a warning for you before you get there.

Have fun!
