Our shadows, like our selves are not clearly focused, while the background, the semi dry creek bed, is sharp. There is no manipulation of the photo, the leaves on the left just reflected the sunlight differently.
Trying for a decent flight shot and got this one showing not only the shadow of this Grey-headed Gull -
Chroicocephalus cirrocephalus - on the surf but also it's reflection on the wet sand. Taken on the beach at our hotel in The Gambia, West Africa.
Many thanks to Chris Bradbury for the correct ID of this bird.
In the Masters Historic Racing paddock at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montréal.
The Shadow DN3 was a Formula One car used by the Shadow team during the 1974 Formula One season. It also appeared twice during the early stages of the 1975 Formula One season in an updated DN3B form.
This Shadow car was driven by Jean-Pierre Jarier of France.
*Shadow: (ombre in french)
A shadow is a region of darkness where light is blocked. A shadow occupies all the space behind an opaque object with light in front of it.
The cross-section of a shadow is a two-dimensional silhouette, or reverse projection of the object blocking the light.
The smaller the angle between the direction of the light and the surface on which the shadow occurs, the longer the shadow is.
Walking on the Moon Shooting Rabbit Tracks, St-Donat, Quebec, Canada
Note:
Frozen tracks were made by a wild rabbit ( hare). They look like if they are applied over the snow, in fact they are old frozen tracks which are covered with a thin layer of fresh snow.
in psychotherapy the shadow is often thought of as some to be aware of and resolved.
here in this photo the shadow is created by green growth, something that is life bearing and to be encouraged.
not always is the shadow to be avoided.
The idiots who lay down the cement for our driveway/garage pad miscalculated the drainage, and rather than going toward the alley the water runs toward our house. Because of this, a little lake develops in the spring when the snow melts. It is sufficiently far away from our house, but right next to the garage. In the spring freeze/thaw cycle, it turns to water, then ice, then water... What yo see here is some icy snow (partly in shadow), ice over cement, and then another layer of ice to the right. You can probably make out an oak leaf in the center/top area, and some odd patterns in the frozen area. I intensified the colors, obviously, but the patterns and colors are all there in reality, just less obvious.
Experimenting with available light &shadows of this brand new copper penny! Taken 11/30/07.
My favorite available light photo. My Bible was monumental b/c the pages were thin enough so that it stayed open and flat when trying this out...

a bench in the sun, but only half. the man sits just on the edge, where the light meets the dark. his back turned, shoulders drawn, as if carrying some thought too heavy to share. the shadow swallows most of him, leaving just a sliver of light on his neck. it’s quiet here, though the city hums somewhere beyond. valencia's sharp winter sun cuts the scene into halves—one bright, one black. sometimes, silence feels louder than the noise.

I don't know the name of this flower. I found it while my husband and I were walking around the nearest pond. It was the only one of its kind, it was surrounded by hepaticas. I was having an ice cream then so I couldn't be bothered to take photos :-) I brought it home instead. It was never easy for me to take photos of white subjects especially if the light is too harsh. I experimented on different angles, and as I was holding this flower I realized that it would be cool to have a photo of its shadow too. The background is actually our balcony's door. The flower & camera were handheld.
We adopted Shadow as a little puppy in 1963 from an animal shelter in southern Los Angeles when we lived there. We think he was a spaniel-retriever mix of some sort. He made the move with us in 1966 to College Park East in Seal Beach. I took this photo while he was enjoying a treat in our back yard. He was a wonderful family pet! Shadow succumbed to illness in 1974. I get weepy-eyed every time I think of him.
Extra dark'n'dingy because I accidently underexposed this roll of film (shot 100iso film at 200 - I think that's underexposing...) - just being stupid - but actually I really like the darkness
