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…

    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.

    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!

    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!

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

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

    They all are all really good, but I think the top one is tops.

    Have a great weekend Sylvia!

    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.

    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! ;)

    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.

    That staircase does look mysterious, and a bit foreboding.

    Thanks for commenting on my shots!
