RRPC: Light Moves

Our challenge for the Robin's this month is brought to us by Julie who authors Stately Barrett Manor. Our subject is light...not see much of that around here lately.

The official challenge...Take a picture that shows the quality of the light. By that I mean the hues of a sunset, water reflected on water, refracted light, something interesting with light.




One day last week Allyson and I were looking out the window at the birds and squirrels and when I turned around this is what I saw on the opposite wall. I wanted pictures but by the time I got back the shadows were gone. The sun had moved on. So this morning I decided to go downstairs to see if the sun was playing more games with us. Sure enough there were he shadows on the wall. Everything in the shot that is black is a shadow. I noticed another thing. Cloud cover makes an impact also. In the span of less than one minute the shadows changed dramatically. I still wish I had been able to take the shot the first time I noticed the shadows. The images were so crisp not at all like these muted ones. Maybe tomorrow morning I will get up when the sun comes up and see what the shadows look like. But then again if I am warm and toasty under the cover, I might not get to see it at all.

Be sure to stop by and see what the other Robin's have come up with. They are an amazing bunch of photographers. They don't know it , but they have taught me a new way to look at objects before I click the shutter. I am always amazed at how they interpret the challenge and their shots are always interesting.
