On the Side/ Shadow Shot

In-their-dreams shadows

Dontcha just LOVE shadows that make you look skinnier than you really are? Too bad some also make us look much shorter.

Greetings from Joensuu, Finland!
I have visited your other blog, when I was active in my Joensuu blog.
Now I am back there and it is nice to see " old friends"

Cool shadow finds, EG!

I like the fact that they didn't know you were snapping a photo.

Have a great weekend.

Definitely a great "action shot" shadow set! I'm really impressed that you managed to grab that without anyone noticing!

Gerald (Ackworth born) said...

o these are fabulous shadow shots

you asked about the colours on my Kensington Gardens post on Hyde DP - I used the "old newspaper" effect in PaintShopPro - it is very similar to "sepia"

Rosebud Collection said...

Great shadows and you did a good job..I think it would take more than a shadow to make me look thin..ha, ha..
Happy SSS.

Bonnie Bonsai said...

I think the basis of the reflection of our shadow or any object for that matter lies on the time of the day.

See, when you take a picture in the middle of the day, the shadow is hardly visible because you are mainly stepping on it. Isn't that interesting? :)

Colleen said...

My favorite shadows are the ones that make me look tall and skinny. That's my alternate reality!

The Summer Kitchen Girls said...
