Another Shadowy Weekend from the Beach in Black and White ~ 9-9-11

          Aug. 30, 2011       5:38:44pm        5:38:48pm       5:38:49pm          5:38:58pm            5:39:00pm







Fun and Games at Sandbridge ~ VA Beach, VA.

I am still in shock that I was able to get a shadow and a reflection, both, in the first picture. I had no clue until I saw it on the computer screen.

    Don't you just love those little surprises when you really start to look at your photos?

    BITS OF SHADOW

    Bits of shadow and blasts of light,
    Morning and evening, noon and night;

    Days of darkness, gloomy and drear;
    Sometimes bright ones, bringing good cheer;

    Spring or winter, summer or fall,
    Light or shadow—embrace them all!

    I like the second one and I think the first would improve with a tighter crop. The entire series is lovely.

    Terrific group of shadow shots for the day and how fun!! I'm sure you had as much fun as Eloise did! And what a lovely granddaughter she is! Enjoy what's left of your weekend, Genie!

    Hi Genie, Thanks for the dancing shadows comment. I think #2 is OK the way it is. I was suggesting you crop #1 from the top, maybe down to just above the breaking wave. And the contrast in the last shot needs tweaking. The whites need snap. The last could be the best of the lot with a bit of work.

    PS -- You are welcome to email me anytime you have questions and you think I might (might...LOL) have the answers.

    No matter what color they are, children and shadows make a nice combination.

    You did a great job with these shots. Now I'm missing having a little girl at the beach. Not that I don't still go to the beach sometimes with my daughter when we can both get away but mine is 26. I'm so sorry to hear about your injury. I hope you will heal swiftly.

    She is an innocent and beautiful subject! Little ones can make such a great game of running away from the incoming wave then charging at great speed into the receding water. The ocean beach is such a great place to capture the energy of youth - and shadows too!

    Genie, this is a terrific set of b+ws of your adorable Eloise. I am appreciating John's helpful comments; lessons for both of us.

    [PS. I live in Manila and have been back home from Bucharest since July 1. However, when I link to a meme, I use the place the photos were taken, meaning they often come out of my archives.]

    I LOVE this Eloise series. it's perfection. I love any photo of her - she's very photogenic - but as her grandmother you manage to capture her in unique perspectives. happy day to you Genie.
