Heart-Shaped Shadows!

[Katie]

With Valentines' Day rapidly approaching, I thought it would be fun to share our heart-shaped shadows (or other heart-shaped images). If you are interested, I put up a heart-shaped shadow tutorial: http://www.boostyourphotography.com/2014/02/heart-shaped-shadow.html I tagged mine " heart-shadow."

Or, hearts without shadows, still using books:

[Laurie]

not a shadow, but it was yummy! lol



oh, and here's another...I had forgotten about this one...

[Katie]

@luvmynynix Love the idea of the drops in a heart shape!

[Lesley Allen]

[Debra]

Thanks Katie. I've had a hard time with getting my ring to stay upright.

[Katie]

@debrac The mini-hold I mention in the article is a perfect stealth solution!

[Wendy Bowden]

Only one I have done

Book heart

[Cindy Genn]

[Michelle]

[Sharyn's Shots シ]

Oooh I have a couple ...

[Caz]

[Megan]

Extra special because I found it like that instead of ripping it in to a heart shape :)

[Katie]

@lesleyallen These are so lovely! What were all the little heart rings from?

[Katie]

@wenbow These are both beautiful! I love the idea of shooting from 'inside' the heart. Will definitely have to try that one!

[Katie]

@cindygenn Super clever! Had to click on this one to figure out the trick. Great idea.

[Katie]

@grapefruit So sweet! I love natural, found hearts. This is a cool one, for sure.

[Katie]

@sewsharyn Beautiful Sharon, and great in black and white. Love the idea of using the curve of a mug handle!

[Katie]

@cazann Really cool, Caz! I don't think I've ever seen this idea of using fingers to create the shadow. So cool!

[Katie]

@mlulu191 Awesome one, Megan! What a cool find! Did you keep it?

[Katie]

@mittens Super cute! Great against the red wall.

[Katie]

@northy Heh heh heh. Awesome.

[Katie]

@grapefruit @mlulu191 Here's a cool project my third graders did earlier in the year ... they were looking for natural hearts but mostly ended up creating their own. http://www.artisbasic.com/2013/10/see-heart-share-heart-3rd-grade-photography-unit-hearts.html

Not really a shadow but I did this about a year back.

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

And there was this one (that wasn't a shadow either!)

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Sort of shadows?


This was the last shot of a little story, for the full story, see:
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Then this one.

[Sue Wilde]

I had to go back 4 years to find this one...

[Hope D Jennings]

Cheers! :)

[Lisa Pouncy]

I took this one over a year ago

[Jo]

Did this way back in week one of my project 2013,

[Kim Shaw Ball]

Here's mine...

[Kim Shaw Ball]

I don't know if this one really counts as a shadow or not but it is hearts...

[Kim Shaw Ball]

Great thread @archaeofrog . I loved looking at all of the pics!

[Lindsay]

I did this for the weekly theme - drama, it involves hearts, but alas, broken.

[Michelle]

@archaeofrog love that idea. I may have to steal it for my class.

[Katie]

@grapefruit Do it!

[Katie]

@steampowered Ooh, creepy and dramatic! And that second one is a cool find!

@bulldog Works for me. Super!

@swilde Love this one! Was this a book you chose on purpose? (And did you need something to keep the ring up?)

@mzzhope Fun! Accident or intentional?

@psychographer Beautiful! Love the bokeh bouncing around inside the book heart.

@jo13 Very cute! Love shaped bokeh!

@kimshawball Cute! Really like the colors in the background against this.

@lindsaydaisyboo Really cool idea and way to turn the concept on its head!

[Kim Shaw Ball]

Really fun thread @archaeofrog ! Thanks for starting it.

[Katie]

@kimshawball Thanks, Kim! Figured it was a good time to get into the Valentines-photography mood.

[Alicia]

[Kim Shaw Ball]

Here's another one I tried....

[Katie]

@kimshawball Lovely! Did you have to hold the pages together in the back or did they stay by themselves?

[Katie]

@aliciakgregory Hi Alicia! Are you trying to share your picture from the 7th with all the heart-shapes? If you want the photo to appear in the discussion, look over on the right-hand side of the picture page and under the "share" options is a text box. Copy all of that paste it here, and presto, it's your picture!

[Kim Shaw Ball]

@archaeofrog , They just stayed by themselves.

[Katie]

@kimshawball Nice!

[Alicia]

@archaeofrog thanks so much, I am new and was wondering how I could get my pic on thread! was sick so did not spend too much time investigating, so u read my mind! Awesome!

[Alicia]

[Jeff]

This is a very creative and cool idea. Used some of these ideas and gave it a shot.

[Megan]

[Katie]

@mullejf Very cool one, Jeff! Like the addition of the flowers to add to the scene too.

[Katie]

@luvmynynix @lesleyallen @debrac @wenbow @cindygenn @grapefruit @sewsharyn @cazann @mlulu191 @mittens @northy @steampowered @bulldog @swilde @mzzhope @psychographer @jo13 @kimshawball @lindsaydaisyboo @aliciakgregory @mullejf

Thanks for all the great heart-shaped ideas; keep 'em coming!

... and another one! Here's the full tutorial on heart-shaped bokeh, if you are curious: http://www.boostyourphotography.com/2014/02/heart-shaped-bokeh.html

[Michelle]

Here's another one I did last week.

[Caz]

[Katie]

@grapefruit Super cute key chain and like the bokeh texture!

@cazann Awesome light and silvery glow here. Fabulous!

[Susan T]

Here's a few I've done

[Katie]

@soozieqt Very cool collection! I like the side angle and the gilded-look of the bottom pages.

[Cindy Genn]

[Katie]

@cindygenn Awesome natural heart!

[Debra]

[Katie]

@debrac Oooh, a bit mysterious without seeing what is casting the shadow! (Also kind of funny that 'lower class' is the best definition I can see on the 'love' page.)
