The purpose of these challenges is to encourage us to get out and get the best shot of an assigned subject. It's a great way to enhance your photography skills.
Even if you think you take crappy pictures, please join in. Those of you just reading the forum and not posting, this is your chance to join in and show off.

This month's challenge: "Shadows"



Be creative.
Experiment.
Get out and try something new.
It can be a shadow of anything - a cow, a lamp, a cupcake, a urinal.
We don't care.
Or interpret "shadows" in your own way.
Just have fun and post your best results here!

Only rules:
It has to be taken by you.
It has to be taken in Upstate NY.

A winner will be selected based on the following criteria:
-freshness (have we seen it somewhere before or did you take it just for this challenge? - we prefer the latter!)
-frame
-subject
-creativity
-use of color (or lack thereof)
-uniqueness

The October prize:
*50 Trillion Dollars!!!!!

here is one I took last winter. I loved the long shadow of that tree

This was a kind of self portrait of me with Alan at Greentopia a couple of weeks ago.

I think we're off to a great start, ladies!

Continuing to mooch off my photos from long ago, having nothing freshly published, I couldn't help but post my favorite (and only) "Shadows" image.

I love the way the sun shining through a window creates shadows on all kinds of objects and emphasizes the details...

here is a little bit of shadow in my garden
The leaves and grass produced a nice little shadow on the mushroom

Looking for shadows this weekend...not hard to find...with all that bright sunshine. This was taken on Little Sodus Bay in Fair Haven, NY.

Saying goodbye to Crescent Beach...my favorite way...capturing one last memory, to last me through the coming months.
