I was sitting behind my daughter whilst she did homework. she sun was shining at her back through the window. I lifted my hand and saw the shadows quite clearly on her back....so I had to try to take a shot of it...

During beer intermission of the New Belgium Clips Beer & Film Tour movie watchers got creative with shadow puppets, I got more beer. Great event with proceeds supporting local non profit WI Bike Fed.

1. I went on a scavenger hunt around my house in search of items I might use for this picture. It was simply crazy how many different items I played with for this photo shoot! I ended up choosing 2 silk flowers of similar color to create the monochromatic effect of different shades of burgundy. I laid the flowers on a white plastic cover and just kept shooting until I finally chose this one.
2. This photo gives a nice use of negative and positive space with the interaction of the edges and my shapes. This also draws your eye down the photo to observe the shadowing effect from the petals on the flowers. This allows the viewer to discover shapes (shadowing) that are not immediately obvious when you look at the photo. However, it is the dominance of size of the petal that really draws the viewer’s eyes into the photo. The most focused part of the petal gives the illusion of popping out at you which is validated by the shadows on the white plastic cover. I believe that the similar shapes and the monochromatic color give a very nice harmony for my photo. By combining these elements, it certainly displays an appealing and interesting aura to my photo.
3. The positioning of the objects was probably my biggest hurdle which included: how close together do I want my shapes, laying them in the middle of the cover, taking equal parts of both shapes and how much negative space do I want were all issues that played a part in this composition. I preferred the one shape off to the side with the other shape producing the dominating factor.
4. I have many pictures of this setting in a horizontal and vertical mode. I believe that it offered the best composition at a vertical angle psychologically, because it was more dynamic and active when comparing it to my horizontal photos. This photo was actually shot horizontally, but I turned it vertically after I downloaded it on my computer. I much preferred the effect of the vertical shot of this composition.
5. I tried shooting this in macro, but it did not create the look I was searching for, so I went back to manual focus. This allowed me to really zero in on the one petal to create the blurred upper part of the photo. It was taken with natural lighting coming from the large dining room window. A lot of time was spent rearranging my props and refining the focusing.
Sunlight and a wind chime with a star created this shadow on my old sideboard.
I love this root wood - can you find the small heart there?
Have a great day!
Just visiting. Aren't we all?
He's possibly an Australian Shepherd, an American breed.
Love his white fur necklace; chances are I will never see him again.
Update:
Shadow is no longer of this earth. My neighbors were taking care of him briefly when I shot this.

This is the shadow from Steph's kitchen door reflecting onto the floor. It's the one spot in the kitchen that's worn like this. When you look closely you can see the original hardwood floor and then three subsequent new floors, each one built on top of the old.
