Shadows and light have fascinated me for as long as I can remember, even as a child. So it isn't surprising that Paul Strand's photography excites and exhilarates me! Strand was one of the defining masters of early American modernist photography. He was also influenced by Edward Weston and Alfred Stieglitz.
I could have chosen many of my recent photos for this exercise on shadow and light, but I chose this one because it is different and I like the surreal feeling it has.
This was taken on an outside terrace. When I looked up, I could see big slabs of plain concrete above my head, but what really grabbed me were the shadows from the out of sight, striped canvas awning creating shadow stripes on the concrete as if they had been painted there. I could have cropped this, but just loved the reflection of the inside lights reflected on the big glass front - like other-worldly dots of energy seemingly floating in the sky!
This image empowers me and yet also allows me to dream! Leaving it in colour, gives a certain lightness to it, thanks to the space of light blue sky
Captured at a viewing of "Your sunset shadow" (Olafu Eliasson, 2024) at Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. This installation features an empty screen illuminated by eleven spotlights.

Shadow Mountain Lake is a reservoir in Grand County, Colorado, near the headwaters of the Colorado River. Shadow Mountain Lake is created by Shadow Mountain Dam. The lake forms a continuous body of water with Grand Lake, the largest natural lake in Colorado; they are separated by gates.
Shadow Mountain Lake is part of Arapaho National Recreation Area.
The creation of Shadow Mountain Lake was authorized by the Colorado-Big Thompson bill, passed in 1937, which also created the Colorado-Big Thompson Project. Water from the Grand Lake-Shadow Mountain Lake body is diverted through the Alva B. Adams tunnel, at the eastern edge of Grand Lake, into the Big Thompson River on the east side of the Continental Divide. Storage began in 1947.

Cloud shadows drape foothills of the southern Sierra (timelapse).
14 years ago I noticed cloud shadows on some foothills near highway 233, at the southern terminus of the Sierra Nevada. I turned my video cam on and recorded 12 minutes. Here it is sped up to a little over 1 minute.
The original footage was only 1440x1080 and shaky. With modern tools like Topaz and Premiere, I was able to stabilize and sharpen it, and upscale it to 4K. This will be one clip for a new YouTube video I'm working on featuring artistic clouds over California landscapes.
For Flickr this is a 1080 (HD) version with some gentle music. I'm interested to hear if you like this kind of video.
Last day of the month and my picture is here! The theme this time was “Svartvitt” (Black and white).
I knew right from the start that I wanted to take the opportunity this month to play with shadows. Black and white shadow images are the best!
I actually have my fiancé to thank for the picture, it was his idea o use plastic leaves to create a cool shadow. And it turned out absolutely lovely if I do say so myself.

I liked the repetition here. I also like the play of threes. 3 awnings. 3 pairs of windows and 3 gray brick accent walls. But it was the strong shadows that initially caught my attention, so I did my best to frame this shot up with 3 complete shadows.

Just a shadow of myself - a bit of fun while waiting for a train on the Cumbre Pass in the Chilean Atacama region. This was taken earlier in the morning, but by midday in December, right on the Tropic of Capricorn, the sun was overhead - less than ideal lighting conditions.
