Photo Hunt - Shadow

Shadow is the theme of this week's Photo Hunt. so here goes:




1. This is a photo of a chimney on a building near Temple station. Note the complete absence of shadows. A poor effort for this week's photo hunt


2. This is another example of a photo that features no shadows whatosever but is quite contrasty. I'm not doing that well, am I?


3. This building near Cannon Street station features reflections but still no shadows. Try again

4. This ugly blob is me taking a photo of a shadow. At last a shadow.. wasn't worth it eh?

  3. Photographing shadows can be tough work! The buildings look great tho - even if shadowless... Glad you at least found your own shadow! =)

    LOL! Great progression there. I bet all those buildings do cast great shadows when the sun hits them just right.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Well that was a nice try. I liked the progression.

    I also wanted to let you know that there is still time to enter my contest for a great photography gadget at Win an XShot from BenSpark.

    The chimneys are superb! For that shot alone I would have said it was worth it.

    Thanks for visiting yesterday :)

  41. Isn't that just a gorgeous chimney though? The council here has done some revamping of an old street and has fitted them with chimneys like that (sort of). It makes them look so good.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I've always liked the word 'fugue.' I want to pronounce it FUG U!

    ReplyDelete
  45. It's a good one eh? Perhaps it should be Bach's Kick arse-a and Fug U!
