Mostly out of curiosity, I downloaded the Reddit app and signed up. Much of what's on there makes me cringe or shake my head, but I've been spending time at their Photoshop subreddit. I've been learning some things as I look at what folks have submitted for critique. Composite photo montages are extremely popular there. Something many submitters ask is how to make an element blend better into the scene. Commonalities seem to be not paying attention to light sources, and not knowing much about shadows.
That prompted me to set up some things and shoot photos at various times of day to study contact shadows and cast shadows. This is one of the shots.
Mannequin's right foot is off the ground so there isn't a contact shadow there, but there are at the other foot and where parts of its body contact the ball and where the ball contacts the shelf.
I thought at first this would be a simple set up, but then I noticed that there is light reflected from the shelf upward onto the ball and mannequin, from the ball to the mannequin and from the mannequin to the ball.
New Mexico is a strange place for shadows. We're so high in elevation that in direct sunlight, shadows here don't behave the same as at lower elevations. The edges are more crisp. There isn't the same fall-off of density as the shadow gets farther from that which is casting it.
I had to shoot this photo before the sunlight directly hit the shelf in order to see the gradations of density.
Painters study light and shadows, but rarely do photographers. And if folks are going to be trying for photorealistic montage, they also need to know about light and shadows. As a result of these shadow study photos, back at Reddit I've been recommending that the compositors set up an action figure (all of them are guys in their teens and twenties it seems) and a desk lamp to see the directions that shadows are cast from a source and the gradations of density between contact and cast shadows and within cast shadows.

Mischievous Bella got up on the shelf with my Bears & dolls, at first I was like what are you doing up there, then I realized how cute she looked & ran for the camera.....

Shelf cloud from storm approaching from the north reflects ground light from southwest Twin Cities suburbs.
Looking northward along the Tarn Shelf, Mt. Field National Park. Tasmania. MacKenzie Tarn in the foreground with Johnson Tarn beyond it. The Rodway Range escarpment running through the left side of the frame. The Tarn Shelf is around 1200m in altitude with the glaciated Jurassic Dolerite of the bedrock in plain view.
Obviously a perfect blue sky day for a walk among the sub-alpine rocks and water holes and snapping away at the clumps of gorgeous, orange 'Fagus' in its Autumn glory.
Fagus or Nothofagus gunnii is endemic to Tasmania. It is limited to isolated pockets in selected sub-alpine areas of the island. It is a beautiful tree with gorgeous green to yellow to orange to red leaves when they turn.
As a remnant Gondwana species, it is our only deciduous, native tree and is often called Deciduous Beech (as such it is). It's sometimes also called Tanglefoot for its interlocking branches. It can grow to be quite a tall plant in the right conditions.
It is very precious and not at all tolerant of fire despite it's high altitude-bred hardiness.

Lucked upon this beautiful cloud formation. After it provided some rain, a nice mist covered the land in the distance.
The last few days have been spent dealing with the polar vortex. Besides the frigid subzero temperatures, Sheboygan, Wisconsin has also had an amazing shelf ice buildup along its Lake Michigan shoreline. The result has created an otherworldly landscape that have drawn photographers to capture this temporary condition. Some have practiced extreme photography, scaling these ice configurations for that perfect shot, but also putting themselves and first responders in potential life-threatening danger. I have to admit that years in the past I did so myself. The two photos posted today were taken from the actual shore, not from an ice shelf.
The middle of the three posts today is a drawing that illustrates why shelf ice exploration is dangerous. A friend originally posted it and asked others to share it as a preventative measure. I am doing this and hope that it is helpful.
Gingerly picking my way along the shelf ice on the left side of the stream in order to get up to the waterfall....always makes you pause when you hear it crack and groan. The good news is I made it out alive with some beautiful shots on a perfect winter day. Happy Monday!
One day, I found this old metal shelf in an alley and dragged it in and cleaned it up. It's the perfect place to store some of my papers.
Perfect for cabinets, bookcases, and wall shelves! Three groups of decor with and without built in shelves.

We arrived at the top of the Snake Pass yesterday under beautiful blue skies and an inversion towards Glossop. We decided to head to Higher Shelf Stones to photograph the inversion form above. But soon after, the mist started to rise. But it created some magical conditions as the wind gave us some clear patches to reveal the landscape. The freezing fog did amusing things to my hair after the walk onto Bleaklow.

As I walked this ridgeline I came upon these slabs of granite that looked as if they could be shelves on a wall.
If trying to survive in a culture of constant bullying, intimidation, corruption, mobbing, stalking and harassment; what kind of Shelf Life do you think you would have? Such a culture is thriving in Yosemite National Park. Those in power will deny it, so will those involved. Those that dedicate their lives to this Park, don’t dare stand up to the status queue of incompetence, corruption and intimidation. If they do so, they will risk their careers, their families, their livelihood, their Civil and Constitutional Rights. They will become Targeted Individuals.
This link shows examples of this immoral culture and acceptable behavior in Yosemite National Park:
Gang Staking, Community Stalking and Workplace Mobbing are thriving in Yosemite National Park. These immoral and illegal acts are carried out by my coworkers, neighbors, residents and contractors. They are allowed by Yosemite’s Law Enforcement and Superintendent.

On my dolly shelf today: Simply Guava and Simply Mango. Underneath the dolly shelf, the old bookcase looks better now that I’ve painted it mint green. I like to pause here as I walk down the hallway, just to look at my cute dolls!
I rearranged again. I bought some acrylic pieces to use as shelves, so it's all even now. Also, I can probably fit a few more future purchases in there. :-)

The steep sided nature of the ravine where the River Awe opens out to join Loch Awe can clearly be seen here, the railway sits on a narrow tree lined shelf some feet above the road. The line here is protected from rock falls by a unique arrangement of wire activated semaphores - three such signals are visible in the shot. At the time of the image the trigger wires were being replaced.

[Update: I had to fix a minor issue with this shelf and when I re uploaded the model I somehow made it 3 land impact now. so its now 3li and not 5li.]

Leave dead trees and shrubs standing (as long as they are not in a dangerous place) to decompose naturally.
Unwanted plants or trees can be killed by ring-barking and left to provide a source of decaying wood. Make two thick cuts, about 20 cm apart, around the trunk and deep enough to cut through the bark and into the wood. The bark between the two cuts should also be stripped from the tree.
Ring -barking individual shrub stems also produces standing decaying wood without killing the whole plant.
Ring-barked plants will sprout from below any wounds and may need continual cutting of growth to completely kill the plant.
Leave old stumps to decay naturally and only remove them if necessary.

Amazing sky developed over home. Watching it pass over us was surreal, such a beast.

SUNSET ~ Shelf-Cloud ~ Florida Everglades
Palm Beach County, Florida U.S.A. - 6/23/20
I'm going to stay on this 'great-night' for a while, if you don't
mind. I got far too many 'great-keepers' to let them pass and
get buried in the archives. It was the best night of the year
(so far) with its amazing sunset/weather-phenomena and the
shelf-cloud. Only the second shelf-cloud I've ever seen in South
Florida. So bear with me for a little while, and thanks for looking.
