Last night we participated in Earth Hour and turned off all our lights from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. By candle light we played cards and chatted. I also played with my camera and 50mm lens taking low-light pictures! The only light in these pictures is from the candles.
While I was at it, I took this picture. The current Photograph This! challenge on flickr is "eyes"..and this is my submission. I love how the catch-lights in my DD1's eyes are from the candles on the table. I thought it turned out to be a pretty cool shot.
Until next time...

Great photos! :0)
What a great idea! It's always a good idea for the kids to get unplugged.
Very nice pictures! How special to do this. When I was a child I would insist my mother turn off all lights and live as they did in the 1800's. In some ways, we should practice this now. I think to unplug is good for the soul and spirit!
Great photos! We celebrated also with a family games night.
Beautiful pics Jane! And guess what? I found my green light! thanks for the tip -- and my favorite non-auto macro lens thanks you too!!!
What a lovely thing to do! (Unfortunately I was doing the ironing at the time, so needed the electricity for that job!)
This image is so great Jane - beautiful eyes on that young lady
Gorgeous photos - especially the one of your daughter
I am loving the DoF created with that lens - so lovely. It's nice to do without electricity sometimes - makes us realise how much we use it. x
Oh wow, Janet. You are very talented in taking pictures
great shots...i love playing around with my camera in low light...but how did you get your daughter to sit so still? :) heheheh
Lovely pictures. AMAZING shot, I don't think I could get that in such low light (of your daughter.) I was inspired and I joined the flickr group!
