Technique Challenge 39 - Shadows

May 1st, 2015
"Who knows what evil lurks. The shadow knows" ... from an old time radio show that may not play well with this crowd, but I couldn’t resist.

DATES: begins May 2 and ends May 16
TAG YOUR PHOTOS: technique39

So I get runner up and my first time hosting a challenge. I hope I do it right. Please let me know if I am missing something.

Shadows are everywhere there is strong light. Early morning and end of day can create great long shadows. Even middle of the day can cast a great shadow. There are man-made shadows with lights that can be creepy or very artsy.

Google "photography and shadows" and there is a wealth of ideas and great images to get your creative juices flowing.

Hopefully it will inspire you to “look beyond the light”.

Have fun and learn. Why else do this, right?
