Interesting lighting that caught my eye

I reckon I will do this quite regularly. By this I mean I will take photos of lighting and such that catches my eye. I find myself often looking at at light in a different way these days. I find myself seeing things differently and looking at how something or someone is lit whether that's in a film, art or witnessing something myself.
The reason I found this interesting is in currently working on a film for my 3rd year Uni work which is based on the story of the raven by Edgar Alan Poe. One of the shots I wanted to do was a long shadow if somebody in a door way hence why this scene caught my eye. The light was coming from a parked car outside the which was passing down the alleyway to my garden and through the back of a bin which just lit a small perfect line through the garden and created an interesting lighting effect on the Christmas tree planted in the back garden. Unfortunately due to it being dark and only being able to quickly capture it on my phone the full effect of the lighting can't be seen but I still think it's an interesting image. It made me think how I could light the set with even a small single light from far away and pass it trough onto the scene and it still have a great effect like it has here and give me something to considering when approaching this project.
