Shadow Shot Sunday #43




Our Australian friend, Tracey, hosts Shadow Shot Sunday for us every week, at Hey Harriet. If you have any interesting pictures that you have taken of shadow, why not join in?


Last summer I took a picture of shadows on a window blind. Nothing spectacular, but I kind of like it. About a week ago I noticed shadows on the same window, and the contrast between summer and winter caught my eye.

There is an amazing difference isn't there? At this time of year my favorite would have to be the first one! I scrolled all the way down on Harriet's blog but couldn't find the sign-in place, but I'll keep checking. In the meantime I'll go ahead and post a shadow! Have a great weekend, Bobbie!

What an interesting observation and a nice idea to compare the seasonal shadows. I think the summer shadows look more lively. But then I also look more lively in summer compared to winter :)

Venetian blinds lend themselves to shadow-shooting!

I like it, the contrast of summer and winter...alright already...come on spring!

Kay said...

I love it! You could almost turn partterns like that into a giant wall hanging. Beautiful.

Those sure tell the tale of two seasons - nice work!

Michele said...

Ah yes, quite a difference indeed... my kitty loves to play with the shadows on the blinds when the wind blows... it's rather funny!

bobbie, I love the shadows and the difference! And how do you know that the shadows on my walls have always been there? Have you been in my house when I wasn't looking? Bwahahahahahaha! :)

I really like the first shot.

The Summer Kitchen Girls said...

Cool - so glad that you picked up on that! We like both pictures....although we like the view outside of "window #1"!

Lisa said...

NEATO!!!! Those are sooooooo cool.

I love them.

Gemma Wiseman said...

Great comparison of seasonal shadows! The difference is quite incredible!

Alissa Nicolau said...

The contrast is interesting as the mood changes in each photo.

Love the shots, very creative.

Carletta said...

Very clever!
I don't know that I have a favorite. I like the crispness of the first but I like bare branches anyway so this subtle shadow of them appeals as well
Great find.

What a fascinating study of the two seasons. Hang in there - spring will soon be turning everything green again for you, while we dip our toes into autumn.

raf said...

No doubt for me, the warmer light of summer attracts. Keen observation windows for the seasonal shadows, Bobbie.

Chris said...

Simple shot but great observation on your part to capture it the way you did. Great contrasting of the subject.

Chubby Chieque said...

Dramatic contrast, huh? Summer, branches w/ leaves while winter just branches.

Ahhh... aren't we addicted to catch shadows now and trying to define every inch of our pix?

Great job, girl!

PJ said...

The shadows on the blinds are like ever-changing pieces of art. It's a great idea for SSS.

Unknown said...

Very cool juxtaposition. Great idea.

Happy SSS, Bobbie! (hug)

Nice job.

Dianne said...

the bare branches make such wonderful strong lines
