Jealous of your sunshine; it's been really gloomy here, and even some snow in the air today.

For your second, if you get that patch of sun again, I'd drop the exposure so that you don't blow out the bit on the floor; it will also cause your shadows to go darker; you can slide down the exposure before you shoot in the phone app. 🙂 That's a lovely little corner to work with.

Excellent use of shadows and lines!

.. early-light and shadows - view from the balcony Thursday morning ..

I like how the light and shadow shape the building in the background.

Not an original subject. But this week has been miserably cloudy.

Well it seems fairly original to me, given that I don't have heads in rock statues near me! Cloudy days are hard to find shadows, but they are still there. 🙂

View attachment 2172566 Same on my side - mostly cloudy and very greyish. Tried to create some shadows with a flash, but did not succeed.

Walked today to the central station and it is the best I could get this week.

Great entries from all of you. Very inspiring. 💪

Great job making the most of the gloom. It's a great moment too, with the person right underneath the pedestrian signs.

Just a quick one for now. Went to the museum this weekend and was very fascinated by the shadows of the artefacts. Will be posting more photos soon

Ooh! Really interesting. Museuam light can be hard to work with, but I like how you used the wall for your shadow.

I've posted an image of this statue before. But still, this project keeps me thinking about the theme all week and gets me out of the door with a camera. So even if the images aren't original, it definitely serves its purpose!

Got a chance to reshoot this. Is this better? I went 2 stops down. Thanks!

Here are some more photos for last week‘s theme. I didn’t manage to post them earlier.

No shadows without lights. It‘s not always easy or possible to wait for the perfect light to cast the perfect shadows, but luckily also artificial light sources worked for this week‘s theme. I also tried to take some photos with the sun, but, besides the photo with the shadow of the statue, they didn’t turn out that special, at least not for the theme of shadows.

Just to let you know, I won’t be able to edit and post new photos over the next two weeks, because I’m travelling. But I’m photographing a lot and will post as soon as I get home.
