shadow shot sunday

camera: Wide Lens Superheadz, film: Lucky black and white film, SHD 100

You'd expect shadows on the ground all the time, but that doesn't mean you can't find interesting shadows when looking up instead. This is one of those shots that turned out much better than I expected, and might be one of my favourite black and white photos so far. The sun cooperated perfectly, creating the long striking stripes of shadows across the wall. I like.

Go to Hey Harriet to see more Shadow Shots Sunday.

    Yes, looking up has its rewards!


    WELCOME THE SHADOWS

    Welcome the shadows surrounding your life,
    Treat them as lover or husband or wife;
    Welcome them in as you would one who’s dear;
    Hug them, embrace them without any fear;
    Honor, respect them, and give them their due,
    For shadow and light are both parts of you.

    Beautiful beautiful shot! I think most photographers stray away from shadows because they can be difficult to work with, but I find them to be absolutely gorgeous.
