Casting a Shadow

Photo of a silver dish taken on a very bright sunny day.

Time for Donna's monthly party

A Personal Photo Challenge.

The subject for January is "shadows".

Donna runs a very professional monthly challenge.

In December she gave us a brief

accompanied by this quote:

In order for the light to shine so brightly,

the darkness must be present.

~ Sir Francis Bacon ~

  

Donna gave us heaps of tips and suggestions

plus links to photographic sites like

this and this

to inspire us to think about what we

photograph

 

This photo and the one below I found in my archives.

Both were taken in the late afternoon

on a walk through Cornwall Park.

I used Pixlr to sharpen both photos with

Hagrid effect.

This photo reminds me of the shadow games

we played on the wall as children

do you remember those?

I use a basic “Point and Shoot” 

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS3 with a Leica lens.

Thank you Donna for hosting.

I enjoyed spending a couple of hours

doing my 'photo shoot'!

I'm learning more with each new challenge!

Please pop over to Donna's blog

and see what the other participants have put up!

Better still join in - I'm sure every blogger

has a few shadow photos in the archives.

Thank you dear friends

for visiting and for your kind comments.

Merci à bientôt
be kind to one another!
