The Saturday Self-Challenge: Shadows
I used a cutout of an elephant along with the light from a window to make a shadow on textured wallpaper.

Day one with the new Pen F, my first time with the 4/3 format. It's a great little camera, the only issue is the lack of instructions in the box a CD my computer won't take and a cryptic in camera menu. I have always been an Olympus fan (love the OM2), so this adventure will be fun. This was late evening, Tramore races, lots of low direct light.

Shadow is known as a Necrospherian, a ghost-like creatures who are the spirits of many worlds, all residing on the planet Etyosa. This planet is ruled by the tyrant, Fractus (Phantom), who seeks out the strongest of his kind to amass an army. Under his reign, those who are deemed weak or have no potential are exiled. Shadow, being one who would fight against his ruler’s tyranny from a rebel faction, was not only exiled, but sent to a planet in the physical realm. This was his punishment; he could not hide from those who would see him as a monster. He was able to be incorporeal for only short bursts, unable to escape or try to figure a plan in secret.
He had discovered that the locals often wore masks to hide their face and would wear armor, this was a planet of warriors. Shadow had crafted a mask, armor, and even a cape for flare to blend in with the crowd. When time came around to fight another, he had used what the locals deemed as “nightmare” powers. His powers were mental manipulation and super speed, able to take almost any opponent and force them into a dream like state where he could have complete control of what were to happen. He would be able to read the minds of those he took control of, knowing their weaknesses, and creating a nightmare that would defeat the enemy. This was not something a Necrospherian could do in their own realm, but no other has been exiled to a physical world, so Shadow was unaware of this power.
After his powers were shown, he had become the rival of many, and yet would always win any battle that came his way. He became a leader with a small group of elemental warriors, and fought many enemies. One of which, was his original enemy, Fractus (Phantom), who had started to bring his army into Shadow’s world to overtake it. He had made friends, lost friends, even became reacquainted with his original rebel group.
However, something completely unpredictable had occurred. Without any warning, the whole planet was engulfed with a bright, blinding light. Where all if not most of the inhabitants were sent to what looked like a whole new world. Enemies, friends, all covered in a pink dust that fell like sand once brushed off themselves. To those that were not of Shadow’s kind were completed oblivious, acting as if nothing had changed. While all Necrospherians had noticed the change. This was the work of the Aeonyx, Kairos, who had copied the planet’s creatures for his own pleasure, but due to the physiology of the ghosts, they were merely moved from one planet to this fabricated planet. They could sense Kairos, and have been sent to a world they cannot escape. The Aeonyx had realized his mistake, and sent beings of his creation, the false Aeonyx, to secretly find and destroy these beings. If they were to spread the word of Kairos’ plan, all is lost, making it easier for him to be found by Lady Void.
The Necrospherians had teamed up, even Fractus with Shadow, many battles, many lost, with only a handful of them left. One of which, was Shadow, who had changed drastically since this occurrence. He had been spending many, many years trying to run and fight against Kairos and his minions. He had become a veteran fighter, a master of his “nightmare” powers, and had casted off his mask as a symbol of his Necrospherian pride. He had the remains of his team stored away, in the event that he could escape this planet, he can try and bring them back. Despite his increased skill, he had grown frail with time, and while still a more than capable fighter, realized he could not do this alone.
He had heard of a small group of fighters who were under the command of a white, sleek robot that had possessed the powers of magnetism. Shadow had studied him as well as his team for multiple nights, and had discovered that he was not a confident or skilled leader, but had potential to be. Minion, the leader, had a great team who did not see eye-to-eye or even all together at one place, but had studied many battles they have gone through.
Shadow had decided to intervene when Minion and his team were in a losing battle with Vanity, one of the false Aeonyx. Calling her out for what she is and revealing to everyone that this whole world was the work of a great overseer. From there on out, Shadow became a guide and an elder to this team, to not only bolster a better leader and team, but use them to defeat Kairos, and travel back to his home world.
Found this old portrait today whilst cleaning up the harddrive.
Taken during the period when I was shut outta Flickr.
I like it.
Seeing it again made me warm inside.
King street around 6pm during the week.
Probably one of my favourite shots taken on the xpan so far.
The sun dips perfectly down this street and creates some harsh light for nice, long shadows.
Having another instagram Toronto meetup this Saturday! If you're around shoot me a message!
The ONLY thing I found interesting about this picture was the SHADOWS on the ground, I hope YOU too.

The sun was streaming through a break in the storm clouds lightening parts of the ground but was not able to reach everywhere.

33 - Shadows
It's taken me a while to get this right and to deal with how the lighting should work. It's been quite fun trying out different techniques and this end result is not too bad...with the exception of some blown highlights. But we'll ignore that.
I moved my dads car into the garage compound near my house and realised that both headlights were creating a second, slightly softer shadow so I threw my jumper over one of them to block it out. I took a series of shots which were eventually layered and masked in photoshop, and then bumped the curves up to give it more contrast.
Mysterious shadows of the backyard trees and grass in the evening summer sun.
