Shadow Play

Nothing's perfect in this world, least of all the light when you're taking photographs. Either it's dull and dreary or else the light is smashing fiercely down giving burnt out highlights and inky-black shadows. Black shadows? Well, why not?



















And a self-portrait to finish off....














Take care.

    There are times when the fluidity of the shadows beats looking at the real article, though not always... :-)

    Such interesting patterns John - sometimes the shadows are more interesting than the reverse.

    These are pretty special. I'm partial to a good shadow pic - not to mention the sun that creates them!

    Interesting...shadows always are. I think my fav is the one of the bicycles above the self portrait.

    Wonderful urban shadows.
    I'd love to live in a place where there are such beautiful wrought iron fences.

    I love shadows, so atmospheric. The shot of the lady on the bike is beautifully symmetrical. Love it!
