Day 24 - Shadow Bookends

Today's assignment: Use hard light that casts sharp distinct shadows in a photograph today. It's VERY cold here today (-40 with the windchill this morning). It warmed up to -31 this afternoon so we put the dogs' coats on them and took them out to the back yard so they could get some fresh air, very fresh. Although it's cold, it's very sunny so getting shadow pictures today was quite easy. I got Sadie's front and Dexter's back side and tail as they were standing next to the pool. Peg had the idea to put them together as book ends. I played a bit in Photoshop and voila.

Day 320 - Shadows

Went out again with my students to see what they could capture. Once again they showed their gift at 'seeing' unique possibilities. I put all our pictures on my computer and although I know I didn't take this one I don't know which one of my creative youngsters is responsible. I'm not too worried though as I'm sure they'll let me know who's responsible. With winter quickly approaching I'm pretty sure this will be one of our last snowless pictures for awhile.
