Shadows: Shaded | Dark | Cast
Well, it was rather an overcast day today so I couldn't manage to get shadows from natural light sources. Once again I'm doing my photos late afternoon or early evening. It's just gone 7:00pm and I've taken a heap of photos from playing around with the lamp I used for the self-portrait and putting all sorts of things in front of it to experiment with different effects. Not having anything in particular in mind makes it difficult to set something up and to achieve a result that I'm happy with.
This is the shadow of a patchwork teddy bear. The LED bedside lamp gives this interesting multi layered outline. But I found it really difficult to get a sharp focus on the softer outlines. I had always planned to convert whatever shots I took to black and white or at least limited colour. I've played around with the hue and saturation to get this green effect.

This is the one I'll probably run with for the CY365 gallery, although once again I found it challenging to get a strong focus, but seeing that the word is dream, perhaps I can get away with a 'soft' focus and dreamy effect. Or not.
I am trying to get the photo/s uploaded onto this blog on the day I take the photo, but sometimes it's pushing for time. Just a quick and easy salad for dinner I think at 7:15pm! So, with this, goodnight.
