i think that there is natural lighting along with some artificial lighting because they are being lit very evenly even though its cloudy.

the photographer made it look really interesting with the use of light because it is cloudy.

in order for the photographer to take the picture they had to plan it out and know how to balance the light because of the background.

cityscape

rules are simple background, balance and light as the subject because it looks like the whole sky is filled.

they are not really using any type of lighting except for whats already there, i guess it would be artificial because they are fireworks, the photographer enhanced the photo by being able to capture the light well

he picture was enhanced with the light because it makes the picture a lot more cool because it adds more contrast to the subject being captured.

patterns or repetition are being used with the flags at the bottom of the photo.

the photographer is using natural light because the are in a desert and it doesn't seem like there would be any other sources of light.

they enhanced the photograph with light by making it brighter at the bottom and not as bright at the top.
