4/52 "Shadows"
52 Weeks of Pix
It was so nice to finally see the sun this week, even if it was only for a day!
Fai attenzione alla tua ombra. Ogni uomo ha un fratello che è la sua copia esatta. È muto e cieco e sordo ma dice e vede e sente tutto, proprio come lui. Arriva nel giorno e scompare la notte, quando il buio lo risucchia sottoterra, nella sua vera casa. Ma basta accendere un fuoco e lui è di nuovo li, a danzare alla luce delle fiamme, docile ai comandi e senza la possibilità di ribellarsi. Sta disteso per terra perché glielo ordina la luna, sta in piedi su una parete quando il sole glielo concede, sta attaccato ai suoi piedi perché non può andarsene. Mai. Quest'uomo è la tua ombra. È con te da quando sei nato. Quando perderai la tua vita, la perderà con te, senza averla vissuta mai.
Giorgio Faletti
P.s. Mi scuso in anticipo con coloro a cui non piacerà questa foto ma,è uscita estrema,di solito tendo a ritoccare la nitidezza e/o il contrasto oppure a portarle in bianco e nero in post produzione per ricreare ciò che ho nella mia testa,questa però così mi piace troppo

Friends and I went up driving up to Los Gatos, for no reason but doing things for no reason is mostly the Fun times of hanging out.
Fact : I hate washing dishes !
Zack Simpson's Mariposa Shadow Garden. You stand in front of a projector and hold still. The butterfiles in the field land on your shadow. Check out mine-control.com for more info on his artwork. This installation is at Navy Pier.

Title of photo: Harsh Shadows
Objective 2: Creative Exposure
The camera mode (P, Tv, Av, M) and why I chose it: It was set on Tv mode to allow for control over the shutter speed.
f stop used and why: Since I was using a tripod f/14.0 could be used. A large depth of field allowed for the detail of the flooring to be shown. --changed with the shutter speed
shutter speed used and why: 1/8 was used to capture the detail clearly without much noise
ISO used and why: ISO 200 was used since I was shooting quite close to a bright window with no other light in the room. I also wanted a crisp shot with minimal noise.
Exposure compensation and why it was used: Exposure compensation was at 0 because I wanted the strong contrast between the shadows and the floor and the bike was not too bright.
Focal length and why: 55 mm was sued to get a close zoom without having to remove the camera from the tripod. –I needed the tripod since I had a small aperture and a slow shutter speed.
Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design
The principles of design demonstrated (describe the use):
Emphasis – The yellow of the bike makes it stand out. The frame of the bike is placed on the top horizontal line of interest. Your eye is drawn there right away.
Movement – Diagonal lines in the flooring moves your eye through the photo. Also bikes are a way of transportation=moving. (Theme shows movement)
Repetition/pattern – The repetition of the diagonal lines in the flooring create a pattern. (A sense of rhythm)
Contrast – There is contrast between the dark shadow of the wheels and the lighter part of the floor. There are different tones of black, white, and brown in the background.
The elements of design demonstrated (describe the use):
Line – Diagonal lines move your eye through the photo.
Form – The 3-D form of the bike is shown by the shadows casted on the frame.
Shape – The shape of the wheels are shown by the shadow casted on the floor. Some common shapes in this photo are easily recognized: the circle of the wheel, and the triangle of the bike frame.
Texture – The lines on the floor have an interesting rough, but uniform texture.
Objective 4: Lighting
Type of lighting and why: I used back lighting to create the shadow of the wheels. It is slightly diffused as you can see that the shadows are dark, but not very defined.
Objective 5: Post Production (ex. dust/spot removal, contrast, white balance, sharpening, borders, etc.)
Corrections/adjustments made:
-Resized to upload to Flickr
-Curves and levels to add more contrast
-Slightly sharpened to define texture
-Adjusted temperature to give it a warmer feel
-Added a small vignette border to soften edges
-Added signature
Objecctive 6: Critiquing
I really like the detailed texture and warm colour scheme of this photo. Next time I would turn the bike the other direction to move the eye into the negative space of the photo instead of towards the edge.
Objective 7: Photographic Styles (ex. portrait, landscape, etc.)
Type/style of photography: Still Life
The camera mode (P, Tv, Av, M): Tv
f stop used: f/14.0
shutter speed used: 1/8
ISO used: 200
Exposure compensation: 0
Focal length: 55 mm
Large depth of field, simple background, shape and form present, and shot at a different perspective to create shadows.

The kids and I walked to the pond at the end of our street to feed the fish. I took this while we were standing in the middle of the cul-de-sac, playing with our long shadows.
she stayed up above the kitchen cabinets most of yesterday (Sadie's first day home) Shadow is not amused with this new cat and is making us call her Shadie (with a Sean Connery voice)
In this image from NASA's Cassini Saturn probe, you can see the shadow of a moon (as yet unidentified; it's a known moon but I'm not sure which it is!) on the rings. But just above it and to the left you can see shadows from the ice boulders in the rings themselves! They make the jagged line of shadows just above the narrow bright ring.
Venture deep into the heart of the Sahara, where the enigmatic Tuareg tribe, also known as 'the blue people', illuminates the vast desert with their vibrant attire. 'Shadows and Sands' unveils the captivating life of a smaller Bedouin camp, nestled amidst the endless dunes. Here, the rich blues of the Tuaregs robes contrast starkly against the golden sands, creating a visual symphony that resonates with the spirit of the desert. Experience the interplay of light and shadow, as the sun sculpts the landscape throughout the day, transforming it into a realm of mystique and wonder by night. The series offers a window into the unique culture of the Tuareg, their traditions, their vibrant life under the Saharan sun, and the magical nights under a canopy of stars.
Poem
In Sahara's heart, where sands and skies entwine,
Dwells the Tuareg tribe, in blue robes so fine.
A sea of dunes, golden, vast, and wide,
Whispers stories of a world, hidden inside.
Targi and Targia, under the sun's fiery gaze,
Their indigo hues, through the desert blaze.
In this land of silence, where time slows its pace,
They move like shadows, with elegance and grace.
As day gives way to the blanket of night,
Stars twinkle above, in the soft moonlight.
The campfire flickers, casting a warm glow,
Dancing flames narrate tales of long ago.
In this oasis of life, where dreams are sown,
The Tuaregs laughter, in the winds is blown.
Their eyes, like jewels, reflect stories untold,
In the heart of the desert, bold and bold.
In the shadows and sands, their legacy thrives,
A testament of resilience, through countless lives.
In the rhythm of the desert, they find their song,
In the vast Sahara, where they belong.
Haiku
Blue robes in the sands,
Tauren whispers at night,
Desert stars alight.
