Playing With the Shadows

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I've been fascinated by shadows lately. I find myself observing the way the light changes on my walls and floors and the way the shadows move across them. Someone suggested I shoot a week of them and start a discussion thread on shadow shots- so here it is! If you'd like to join me in a week of shadow shots, tag your picture "playing-with-shadows". Here's one I took last week to get you started:

I was trying to get a decent picture of me on my bike this weekend...I found the best one of all wasn't a direct shot, but the shadows created by the mid afternoon sun

I like this thread so far, I've always been fascinated with light and shadows and this is probably my favourite shot I've ever done. Certainly not taken this week though!

Wow - your picture is gauze curtains! Really cool - love the composition too

Here's a minimalist photo, showing just the shadow.

This was taken a few months ago: my first foray into post-processing.

I LOVE shadow shots and take quite a few, especially while I'm riding. Here's the latest one - thanks for "playing-with-shadows", Ann!

Thanks for posting all those cool shadow shots!! I enjoyed all of them. I'll be posting my first shadow shot for the week in a bit- I saw it on Saturday and was wowed by it when I uploaded it into my computer.

@ingrid2101 Thanks Ingird! This shot was really great because no matter which way I turned it, it had a solid composition to it. I ended up liking it best on this edge- with that ribbon-like twist.
