Why is it that when you want to take a proper photo of a shadow, your own shadow gets in the way. Like having a picture with your own thumbprint stuck in the corner. A MeMe.
It was foggy this morning. I needed to go into Shrewsbury to pick up my grand daughter for her half-term hol. By about 1pm the fog had lifted and the sun came out. The colours of the trees along the river Severn were beautiful. I'm one of those people who hates shopping - especially on a Sunday, so to pass the time until her train arrived, I took some photos across the Frankwell Foot Bridge leading down to the municipal car park and soaked up the sunshine.
Happy Shadow Shot Sunday
Great shot - enjoy the hols with your grand daughter.
ReplyDeleteShe's only staying until Wednesday - but we love having her
DeleteCool pic. I like how the shadows are lines going down, down . . .
ReplyDeleteAmy - thank you - it was foggy here in the morning and it was just a bit of an aim and shoot pic when the sun finally came out.
Deletethats a great shot...and what a great way to spend a Sunday :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Monkey (I feel a bit cheeky calling you that) Hope you had a good weekend too.
DeleteI love pictures with people in them, even if they are just a shadow. Great shot, Molly.
ReplyDeleteHave a great holiday with your granddaughter.
What would we do without our grandchildren.
Deletea splendid new header photo!!! When I read your posts I feel as though I've crawled into a delicious novel - with wonderful names like Shrewsbury and Welshpool. It's a book I cannot put down. Excellent shadow shot too Molly. happy week to you.
ReplyDeleteBecky - you've just put an idea in my head - like why are places called by those names. In Shrewsbury there is a 'Fish Street' and 'Butchers Row' and 'Dogpole' and a naughty one, as well as 'Frankwell' - did Frank actually own a well there? Have you got any strange sounding streets near you?
DeleteThat darn sun. Charming picture, nevertheless.
ReplyDeletethank you
Deletelove your shadow shot Molly.Enjoy the granddaughter!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda. She's the only one we've got - and we do.
DeleteWere you not tempted to 'crop'? I know it's cheating, but occasionally it can work wonders.
ReplyDeleteI quite like PicMonkey for editing which I do sometimes - this one was as is
DeleteI love shadow shots, with or without people. does your camera have a zoom function? Try this....aim at a portion of the shadow past your own shadow, then zoom in to get the shot you want.
ReplyDeleteThanks River. Yes it does have a zoom feature - I'll try that. this one was a bit of a quick one.
DeleteLove the photo, Molly, with or without your shadow and also your new header. Enjoy half-term with your granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteThe Autumn colours are lovely, but haven't the leaves come off the trees quickly even today.
DeleteSome good tips from fellow bloggers, but the shot is charming with your shadow. Yes, have a good time with your granddaughter. Your half term is very early - ours isn't until next week when we shall be looking after our two grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely time with your grandchildren too.
