The Shadow Challenge is Live
This week’s challenge is shadows. As photography is about catching light but this challenge is about catching the shadows.
Play with different light sources. See what they do to the photo. Does it obscure details? Does it enhance details? Is the shadow or the original subject more interesting at this point? For this challenge, as soon as the shadow is more important, take a photo.
There are a lot of great tutorials out there on this subject. In no particular order, here are a few of my favorites:
- https://www.picturecorrect.com/tips/tips-for-using-shadows-in-photography/

- https://digital-photography-school.com/20-shadow-images-to-inspire-you/
- https://www.craftsy.com/blog/2015/02/heart-shaped-shadows/ – this one is about creating shadows that you want.
Remember that you can submit up to three photos. And these contests are about you improving your skills as a photographer so preferably these photos are from the last six months.
