Shadow Lighting

September 29, 2009

My youngest son and I worked this past week on creating shadows with an inanimate object for a local photo contest.  We played with lighting, depth of field, focal points etc.  It really was a great project and one that I enjoyed thoroughly.  Not so much becuase of the subject mater, but because of my partner in the project.

This first shot is his and the 2nd one is mine.  Neither of us “won”, but I was proud that he was brave enough to submit his work to a judge, knowing that he could be criticized.

    but not everyone sees it.
    it’s wonderful that you
    shared this with your son.

    The textures of the wood and the reflections and shades of the glasses could not be described better than since it has done it. Fantastic image

    Warm greetings
