Use of shadows

[Chunk]

[QUOTE=jar_e]As photographers, shadows can either be a burden or a huge help for us. Anyone have pictures of how to use shadows effectively/neat use of shadows?

Here's my lame attempt. Me taking a picture of my shadow
QUOTE]Didn't I just see your picture over on Critique where the shadows add a nice counterpoint to the pattern of the bolts and nuts and rivets?

Here are a couple from my last shots in 2004.

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men....

Chunk,

That is true, let me put that one in this thread too. Downbyfive, Nice light at the end of the tunnel aspect, neat shadows there too. Chunk, great shadows on your pics, love how the shadows make that steel one much more complex.

I am a big fan of chiaroscuro even though it technically is supposed to by devoid of color.

Here's a contribution to the Use of Shadows collection.

Enjoy

CDP,

Glad to know I'm not the only one who finds photographing their own shadown interesting!

This one kicks ass, Jared! I love it. So many different, and seemingly conflicted, colors and tectures. At first I thought it must be too different images put together. Very, very nice. You should add this to the abstract gallery, if you haven't already.

Stumbled upon this one...A picture of me taking a picture of my shadow...Beat that!
