Shadow's Shape and Shadows Shape

Seeing shadows and darkness as part of a bigger picture, a bigger story can be surprising.

Light Reaches

Light reaches.

It reaches to the dark places.

We all have them,

the dark places.

Sometimes we just need to turn around

and see

that light reaches

us.

After Hours

Light and Shadows

In my newly hung basket of flowers (which I received for Mother's Day from my favourite son) I spotted a few blooms that faced downwards. Quite interesting to me in their perspective, I grabbed my camera and began to shoot. Shadows and light made a significant difference between these two shots, creating very unique images with the same type of flower.

The bokeh and green backdrop of leaves gave this image an interesting and magical feel. Though the shadows are on the heavier side, the bokeh gives a feeling of lightness.

The hard light and dark shadows in this image bring a great deal of drama to this tiny flower.

Shadows and Substance

Where does substance end and shadows begin? Here in this image this is not easily discerned. With the macro lens, these lines are blurred even more.

I'm often surprised at what is to be seen. This world we live in is so very interesting. It is worth taking the time to look and to look closely.
