For the most part, shadows
are things I take for granted as being inevitable components of the
photos I take And there's many a time, especially when I'm taking
photos of delicious food, where shadows can get in the way of a good shot.
With regards to the photo at the top of this blog entry: A friend and I were waiting to board the ferry to Macau at Shun Tak Centre when I noticed the natural shadow play taking place on a section of its wall. With regards to the middle photo: yes, that's my shadow inside a seaside Tin Hau temple even while I stood by the doorway outside of it!
As for the final photo presented today: The shadows of the side railings along a paved trail in Tai Tam Country Park are what made that particular shot worth taking -- and a fave of mine. And for the record, that particular country park is my fave one on Hong Kong Island -- and one where I've been on many hikes, including the Christmas Day hike that yielded this photo, and another that resulted in one of my fave photo-essays ever (and yes, please feel free to click on that link to check out that entry)! :b

I just did the "fave" meme... but I loved all of your shadow pics
I have to take pictures of subjects from different angles and lighting to avoid showing up the shadows in my pictures. :)
Hi YTSL, a wonderful photo collection. I smiled at your comments about shadows getting in the way of a good shot and when they are the focus of your shot. I kind of know that feeling. :)
Have a great weekend.
the 1st image the shadows are very complicated yet interesting.
Love the pattern of the first shot!
Lovely takes!!

Hi Jerry --
Thanks and hope you have a good weekend too. :)
I am not that particular about shadows... coz I am no expert in photography. s
As long aas I am happy with the shot that will do.
I like the shadow of the railings though. Now I know what to look out for the next time..
Have a great weekend. :)
I love your fave shadows. I'm the same way about shadow adding to some shots and getting in the way of others.
I love all three of these and esp. your shadow in the temple. Hope you're having a great weekend.
Hi Aiyah Nonya --
Do you take close-up food or nature shots? Those are the ones where I often find that shadows -- specifically mine! -- can get in the way... ;b
Glad you like the railings shadow shot. :)
Hi Carver --
Thanks for liking my fave shadows. Have to say that when I saw this week's Photo Hunt themes, the first photo I thought of was that Shun Tak Centre shadow pic... :)
