Experimenting with shadows can be a fun and rewarding way to push yourself to try something new with your camera, your subject, and your surroundings. Shadows can also add depth and drama to an otherwise ordinary image.
For this week’s Photo Challenge, find the shadows. You can choose a literal interpretation and shoot an actual shadow, or you can play with the light and dark, and create a moody scene, or capture your subject in a rich and interesting way.
So, I’ve tried to choose some images where something is shadowed!
The courtyard at Bridport Arts Centre is shadowed by a decorative canopy and the buildings on each side of Buckydoo Square.
She’s beautiful, you’ll just have to believe me as she is so well shadowed.
A Dartmoor day with the sort of weather that makes the clouds shadow the distant moor, beyond Scorhill.
Maybe you will join in?

A lovely collection, Gilly. Many moods covered here.
Thanks Myfanwy, I hadn’t thought of that 🙂
Love all of these, Gilly, but the shadowy moor is my favourite. 🙂
Me too Sylvia, its Scorhill, my favourite place on Dartmoor 🙂
Beautiful photos!!
Thank you 🙂
I’m not much of a shutterbug, but are all interesting choices for the challenge. I couldn’t do any of this. 😀 ❤ ❤
Oh you could, I rarely use my camera manually so its aim and shoot!
I must REMIND myself to aim and shoot.
Maybe… but I’m not the fastest kid on the block 🙂
That’s good to know because I’m not either!
Buckydoo Square? LOL but it’s my favourite of this series, Gilly.
It’s a brilliant name but I don’t know what it means!
I particularly like the moor, Gilly, and I think I might see Holmes and Watson just at the very edge. 🙂

It’s not that far from the setting – and legend, that inspired Baskerville!
Great post Gilly…I love those images my friend and serves as inspiration to all to their shadow …Lol kidding 🙂

I love these photographs. Good composition. Hugs, Barbara
Thanks Barbara, hugs right back to you!
Reblogged this on IdealisticRebel's Daily View of Favorites.
Oh bless you!
Wonderful selections you’ve made for the challenge, Gilly. Loving hats the way I do the bronze sculpture is my favorite. Did it have a name?
I hope you have a super weekend. 😀
It didn’t as far as know, I would name it ‘Mystery in blue’ 🙂
Excellent variety. I’m always partial to cloud shadows, and the woman with the hat is splendid. I want to walk on Dartmoor.
Thanks Meg, Dartmoor is waiting 🙂
Wonderful shadows and intrigue, but Dartmoor would steal my heart every time 🙂
Oh I know it honey 🙂
I’ll follow all the others onto Dartmoor Gilly, such a beautiful, dramatic sky
It’s a very special place and there at Scorhill is my favourite!
I love the perspective on the first one with the dim to bright separation. Cool!
Ahh thanks Rommel, that’s Buckydoo square!
Lovely photos. Great post as always.
Thank you, I love your gravatar pic 🙂
I believe you that she is a beauty – and super creative take on the post
Thank you Yvette 🙂
🙂
Stunning shots Gilly. I love the statue. 😀 ♥
Thanks, I love sculpture, wouldn’t it be great to have something like this in your garden?
Oh absolutely! I bet the monkeys would love it as well. Are you sending it over? 😆
I am intrigued by the lady statue – who is she?
I think she is the creator’s imagined beauty! 🙂
hi Gilly,
I’ve learned from your lady with hat,
it’s good to be shadowed!
Of course you look splendid too, did you buy the guitar?
They’re all beautiful. Shadows are revealing. The moor is sheer magic.
Thanks Patricia, Dartmoor is indeed magical and mysterious!
