CREEPY SHADOW by sangwann

CREEPY SHADOW

A street artist starting his project on the Sliema promenade.

The other day I said that during last weekend I had several opportunities for taking photos . These were mainly, the Msida festa and a Street Art Festival on the Sliema promenade. There were several artists who between Friday and Sunday demonstrated their artistic skills.

I selected this shot for the shadow cast by the artist while at the beginning of his project. I took another shot of him from the opposite direction but, although the painting – still at its beginning – looked better, the artist’s shadow didn’t show.

Thank you very much for looking and for beautiful comments and the fav’s on yesterday’s picture.
Will we see the finished painting?

Cool shot

Gee I love this picture. Well done.

The shadow is dominating - almost making the artist look aggressive! Lots of photo opportunities here with this event!

Dione, this is wonderful. The shadow is so strong. I also love the pops of colour. Watched the opening of the Commonwealth Games last night. Cheered loudly for Northern Ireland. I thought Malta looked fab so I'm going to cheer for them too.

Love your creepy shadow and beautiful painting! Life in action!

@dianeburns No. I don't know what happened to it when it was finished. Besides I didn't take my camera again after that day.

@ceilidh I saw it, too, Margaret. Hope the Maltese team does well. Thank you for cheering for our athletes. They are all amateurs.

Cool capture of him in action - I do like the depth the shadow adds to the picture.

Great lighting and capture of the shadow works well

@sangwann I prefer to watch amateurs to highly paid prima donnas

That looks interesting, great candid shot!

I think this works very well and I agree with you that the shadow makes the shot interesting Dione.

Wonderful capture-I could never do my artwork when someone's watching me-:)

Great documentation!

Great capture , nice choose , Great sight on the artist and his work

Great capture of this artist and his shadow!!! Love his bare feet as he paints!!! Hope we get to see the finished product tomorrow!!!

That's really interesting- I wouldn't think of them drawing at night. The shadow looks really good as do the silhouettes of the on-lookers.
July 25th, 2014  
Well spotted and captured!
July 25th, 2014  
I really enjoy these street artists. Some of them have such great talent
July 25th, 2014  
That shadow really is something. It's almost as if it's the artist's alternate self, mad (as in 'crazy') about the creative opportunity before him. I'm curious, will or have you seen the finished project? Is that some sort of gun he's drawing??
July 25th, 2014  
Neat shot
July 25th, 2014  
Great street shot Dione, and that is a creepy shadow :)
July 25th, 2014  
I'm impressed that he feels confident enough to work in that low light!
Intriguing and different night shot, Dione! Love his shadow, great angle.
July 25th, 2014  
Ah love the shadow over the artwork! Does appear quite creepy!
