Shadow Shot Sunday!



Get out you sleuthing clothes, it's time for Shadow Shot Sunday hosted by Tracy at Hey Harriet! Click here and sign up to show us what kind of clever, different, beautiful or strange shadows you have come up with!

I liked this shot because I got shadows and reflections on the window all in the same shot!



Even a plain, old, everyday stairway takes on a mysterious look in a shadow!



My struggling old ivy was happy for the sunshine, too!



These colored shadows are of empty vases I found and put in the window of my room and they showed up on the side of the comforter on my bed!

Down the dark stairway
through the deep shadows, into
a rainbow of light…

Great shot with the reflection and shadow.

Tom Hilton said...

Excellent set! I really like the strong contrast in the second one, but I think the last one (the colored shadow abstract) is my favorite.

Susan at Stony River said...

That's an interesting collection! I like the staircase and all the sunshine you've captured. If you didn't say what the last one was, I don't think I would have guessed!

Ralph said...

The shadows in blue and other colors stand out wonderfully. The blob of a shadow from the ivy can be one of many things. Shadows and clouds give us a chance to use our imaginations - at any age!

bobbie said...

All beautiful, Sylvia. Yes, the stairway looks very mysterious.

Chris said...

The stairway shot cries out for Alfred Hitchcock narration, doesn't it? Nice.

Nice pics, Sylvia. You have a knack of seeing things and then bringing them alive.

It is through the presence of shadows that we can learn to see the light.

I like when the shadows comes in many different colors.
An dyes the sun can make fantastic shadow ordinary things.

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face. ---- I will laugh a lot so we do not have to have winter here but summer NOW... MB

Each shadow picture is impressive. I liked the light and darks on the comforter the most. Shadow shots are so special to me because I am surprised by them. It showes a deeper way of looking at things. Thanks for your continuous support.

Hey Harriet said...

A great collection of shadows! The cool stairway shot looks like something from a creepy old horror movie. I hope you have no monsters hiding on your stairway! ;)

Martha Z said...

I always enjoy your colored shadows, but these on the comforter is one of the best.

MonikaRose said...

Sylvia - these are great shots - I love using the windowsill too as a place for making the photons (and shadows) dance. When I was in High School I met someone in the library, as I like to say, over near the dictionaries. She made up the word windowsilliness and every time I take (or see) a photo like yours, I think of her. The staircase shot is stunning in its simplicity. Thank you so much for posting them.

Sarah said...

I love the banister shadow and the coloured ones too!

The Summer Kitchen Girls said...

love the colbalt blue...our favorite - love all of them really - you found quite a lot of fun shadows this week!

Carin said...

Yep that everyday stairway takes on a mysterious look as a shadow. Love the last picture of those vases showing up on the comforter.

Kewl shadow series as usual. Love the colored shadows but my favorite today is the stairway railing.

Evette Mendisabal said...

Ooh, I love that stairway shot! It would make a great cover shot for a mystery novel!

Happy SSS Sylvia.

diane b said...

Very interesting shadows.

That staircase does look mysterious, and a bit foreboding.

Thanks for commenting on my shots!
