Shadow Shot Sunday!


Time for Shadow Shot Sunday again! Check into Hey Harriet's site, sign up and play with shadows!

I love colored shadows! Actually, I just love shadows period because if there are shadows, guess what? It means there's SUNSHINE! And it truly feels like SPRING!!!

Hey Sylvia, amazing what a little blue supermarket-bought storage top can do to a shadow! Love ALL your shadows! :) Mine is up!

Martha Z said...

Good shadows, I like the blue tint in the lid shadow. Is that a wisteria not yet in bloom? Mine is done now it is iris that grace my garden.

bobbie said...

Colored shadows are the greatest! and I really love your stairs against the house.

Cindy said...

Oh, I love how the blue shadow turned out!! I really like the fence with the tree's shadow..that's my favorite.....it could be used for texture in PS.

Yes sunshine is a beautiful, beautiful thing.....it's been way too long for this beauty!

My favorite is the one of the shadows against the fence. I love it. There's something ethereal about it.

Yayyy...for the sun, it's raining here in Iowa today...argh...but yesterday was glorious!

I really like the blue shadow, too. Very cool idea.

Very interesting camera work. The problem today is managing all the photos.

Tash said...

Nice selection! The 1st one is so creative & so fun. I'm partial to Shadow Shots too.

I like your coloured shadow concept. Perhaps everything we see is just light filtering through varying densitites of energy. So some shadows are seen and others are invisible to our eyes.

Your first shot combines shadow and reflection, as does mine.

Pretty blue shadow. What fun this must be looking out for the hadows. Glad you have the essential ingredient of some sun to capture them. Good days are on their way.

That first one is a great idea! Very creative of you to notice that blue shadow. Nice set of shots.

I, too, like colored shadows or what glass or other transparent/translucent things do to shadows.

Great shadows! Love the blossoming tree on the last picture. It feels so good now that it is Spring and the sun is shining!
