Despite my lack of effort, I do have two shots to offer. Recently I posted several photos of a simple white pitcher, some of which are all the better for the shadows they contain:
A few days ago I was photographing a neighbor's sheep and llamas and got this interesting shadow shot, totally by accident. I didn't notice the shadow of the llama's head until I looked at the photos on the computer. Pretty cool!
There you have it - my humble offering for the Shadow Play challenge. Many thanks to Donna for organizing the Personal Photo Challenge each month. You can see more great photos by clicking on the links at this site:
Oh, the head of the llama is just amazing. I love to look at photos when I get home and discover something neat like that. Great photos for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteExcellent photos...I love the last one, what a great surprise!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful still life in black and white. As soon as I saw the sheep I thought it looked like the shadow of a llama but wondered how that could be possible. Good catch!
ReplyDeleteYou don't need to make excuses. These photos are exceptional and very artistic.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure you could have captured that sheep/llama image if you had tried. What a fun surprise. Your still life is lovely -- so simple and strong.
ReplyDeleteLove the whole tone and feeling of the pitcher. Very nice!
ReplyDelete"Serene" is the first word that came to mind for your first picture. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the pitcher is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI was so hoping that you would showcase one of your photos of the white pitcher and dramatic lighting! And I'm glad to see that it is a black and white to emphasize the contrast. This is a perfect example of embracing the shadows. There is a shadow side to the pitcher, the long shadow cast on the table, and the shadow of the windowpane. It is a simple composition, but it has a LOT going on!
ReplyDeleteAnd the silhouette shadow of the llama on the sheep is a hoot! Great timing and eye to get that one.
I think you licked this challenge without any problem at all!
It's like an extra gift to pick up something like that in a photo. Very cool! I loved your white pitcher and shadow shot. Very artsy!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful shadow photos. I love the shadow of the llamas head on the sheep. Your profile pic is also a good shadow photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a moment Nancy when you saw the Llama's shadow on the sheep - a revelation!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe white jug image is beautiful - wonderful shadow play and it seems there was a magical light that day!
Your blog header has great shadows in the flower too!
Enjoy your weekend!

Both are absolutely perfect for this challenge. I love them both but especially the simplicity and charm of the first.
ReplyDeleteThat is most definitely a cool shot of the llama shadow on the sheep.
ReplyDeleteI just joined in the photo challenge and I'm checking out all of the links. Beautifully done! I also paint and that first one would make a perfect still life. Thanks for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteOh how Neat!! You could say the second shadow looked like a wolf's head!!Hahaa
