Capture a shadow, dance with the wind, stand in a rainbow, begin at the end.

From the "50 Bikes with a 50m Project"
This is one of the few bikes shots I have taken outside of New Orleans. 1-33 have all been from the French Quarter. This one was taken just down the road from me, in Kentucky. It was parked outside of an ice cream parlor

Mostly out of curiosity, I downloaded the Reddit app and signed up. Much of what's on there makes me cringe or shake my head, but I've been spending time at their Photoshop subreddit. I've been learning some things as I look at what folks have submitted for critique. Composite photo montages are extremely popular there. Something many submitters ask is how to make an element blend better into the scene. Commonalities seem to be not paying attention to light sources, and not knowing much about shadows.
That prompted me to set up some things and shoot photos at various times of day to study contact shadows and cast shadows. This is one of the shots.
Mannequin's right foot is off the ground so there isn't a contact shadow there, but there are at the other foot and where parts of its body contact the ball and where the ball contacts the shelf.
I thought at first this would be a simple set up, but then I noticed that there is light reflected from the shelf upward onto the ball and mannequin, from the ball to the mannequin and from the mannequin to the ball.
New Mexico is a strange place for shadows. We're so high in elevation that in direct sunlight, shadows here don't behave the same as at lower elevations. The edges are more crisp. There isn't the same fall-off of density as the shadow gets farther from that which is casting it.
I had to shoot this photo before the sunlight directly hit the shelf in order to see the gradations of density.
Painters study light and shadows, but rarely do photographers. And if folks are going to be trying for photorealistic montage, they also need to know about light and shadows. As a result of these shadow study photos, back at Reddit I've been recommending that the compositors set up an action figure (all of them are guys in their teens and twenties it seems) and a desk lamp to see the directions that shadows are cast from a source and the gradations of density between contact and cast shadows and within cast shadows.

During my last outing we made a stop here to grab some early morning light on the Butte.

Ange ou démon?? Angel or devil??

I forgot I'd taken this one. My first whole day with my Canon, so just experimenting.
Taken at my pet sitting house. Dogs playing/fighting/chasing the cats and not at all interested in what I'm doing. I will get some decent shots of them soon, if only they would stay still.
I've been trying out some no border techniques lately, and this was one of my favourite ones. Hope you guys like it got some more stuff in the works. Schools really busy right now so not building much, but keep your eyes out for some new stuff.

As for spiritual life: what I object to about “the Spiritual Life” is the fact that it is a part, a section, set off as if it were a whole. It is an aberration to set off our “prayer” etc. from the rest of our existence, as if we were sometimes spiritual, sometimes not. As if we had to resign ourselves to feeling that the unspiritual moments were a dead loss. That is not right at all, and because it is an aberration, it causes an enormous amount of useless suffering.
Our “life in the Spirit” is all-embracing, or should be. First it is the response of faith receiving the word of God, not only as a truth to be believed but as a gift of life to be lived in total submission and pure confidence. . . . From the moment that I obey God in everything, where is my “spiritual life”? It is gone out the window, there is no spiritual life, only God and His word and my total response.
… As for your having defects and still knowing about the life of prayer, well, all I can say is that this is not unusual. I have never met anyone who did not have a lot of defects, and this seems to have relatively little to do with it, provided they are just things in their character which they can’t really help. Such defects are very useful and do a lot for one, if one accepts them rightly. On the other hand there are a lot of defects which we could easily be without if we were not dominated by our environment, and caught as it were in a kind of trap by our own surroundings and our own history.
