Upload for Strobist Sunday shadow theme.
I took this self portrait at beginning of November as part of my 365 which is now on the back burner. I placed my flash outside the french doors to our garden. We've got opaque vertical blinds and i was trying to get high contrast stripes of light by playing around with angle of the blinds and position of the SB900. Flash is bare bulb on a light stand at head height. about 6' camera left on 1/2 or full power. Triggered with my cheap, not very good Calumet radio triggers.
I'd never fancied myself a shadow puppet show designer, but a friend asked me to build one for The Heist Project, so I did.
This shadow puppet show is called "The Horse and his Shadow"
Each puppet has 2 movable limbs.
The shadow from the skylight took on the image of an eagle. Taken in Terminal H of Chicago's O'Hare Airport.
Saw this shadow on my neighbours wall when I returned home this afternoon. So here's a little brain teaser for fun.
1. What do you see in this shadow?
2. What do you think made it?
I'll post my answers in a day or two. Have Fun!.
Hello shadow
What's it feel like to be the shadow of me
Following me around
Head facing down
Got no way of saying
Exactly how you're feeling
Dark, all the time
What's on your mind
The shadow
Shadow of me
You're the only one
Who does exactly as i do
Capture every movement
Memorise my fear
You're forever here
By my side
The shadow
Shadow of me
[Lucy Vernezze]
I set off yesterday in the early evening sun to chase shadows for this weeks theme. It is definitely my favourite time of the day for light. As I drove the sun was going down faster than I could drive and keep up with it and nothing around inspired me.
So I headed for the harbour hoping I would find some shadows still there. And as I parked the car the most beautiful full moon appeared on the horizon and slowly rose up. It gave me enough time to set up the tripod and grab some shots. This one is straight out of the camera and although the foreground bugs me a little I still like how the clouds turned out!

this time nobody asked, but i thought i'd go ahead anyway and show how i do these ragged white borders. this is not the only way to do it, and is not even the only way i do it (some other variations are in my on the border set), but in case there's anybody who both cares and has not already figured it out (a narrow intersection, i'd guess), this gives the basic idea.
Shadows, reflections and curved glass combine to form an intricate pattern.

Every picture has its shadows
And it has some source of light
Blindness, blindness and sight
The perils of benefactors
The blessings of parasites
Blindness, blindness and sight
Threatened by all things
Devil of cruelty
Drawn to all things
Devil of delight
Mythical devil of the ever-present laws
Governing blindness, blindness and sight
Joni Mitchell
Note the directions of the shadows. Both of these are shadows of sunlight, but neither of these shadows is from the direction of the sun. Both are from reflections from buildings.
Shadow puppetry originated during the Han Dynasty when one of the concubines of Emperor Wu of Han died from an illness. The emperor was devastated, and he summoned his court officers to bring his beloved back to life. The officers made a shape of the concubine using donkey leather. Her joints were animated using 11 separate pieces of the leather, and adorned with painted clothes. Using an oil lamp they made her shadow move, bringing her back to life.
