Shadow Play
Thought I'd share these as they're a bit different to my usual offerings.
Fiona was on the carpet next to my chair and seemed fascinated with her shadow cast by the evening sun.
I only had the little compact camera to hand so with it rested on the arm of the chair I fired a couple of shots off.
I knew the contrast would be ridiculous but decided to convert to B&W and make a feature of the darkness / lightness rather than try to adjust levels.
Anyway - opinions, comments welcome as ever.
Camera: Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS
Exposure: 0.003 sec (1/400)
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 6.2 mm
ISO Speed: 80
Camera: Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS
Exposure: 0.004 sec (1/250)
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 6.2 mm
ISO Speed: 80

They are great Phil, crisp, sharp and different enough to be interesting as images and not just as photographs of your daughter.

Well Phil, I suppose there has always got to be one who will rock the boat. As it stands, image #1, without your text just does nothing for me at all. However, after applying a 50% setting in PS to both Shadows & Highlights it produced an image which, in my humble opinion is excellent. It stands on its own without the need for words.
