I think I like the window casting those shadows a lot...


Cheers,

    Great pictures of light and shadows.
    I especially like the second one. Did you do some trick to the WB in PP?

    You know there is an artistic (painterly) term for that. It is Chairoscuro:
    chiaroscuro |kēˌärəˈsk(y)oŏrō; kēˌarə-|
    noun
    the treatment of light and shade in drawing and painting.
    • an effect of contrasted light and shadow created by light falling unevenly or from a particular direction on something : the chiaroscuro of cobbled streets.
    ORIGIN mid 17th cent.: from Italian, from chiaro ‘clear, bright’ (from Latin clarus) + oscuro ‘dark, obscure’ (from Latin obscurus).
    Not to be confused with the Record Labelrolleyes1.gif .

    You know it's funny- I hear that all the time :D ... but it is one of the photos from my slide shooting days which has now been scanned (by a really good scanning site called www.scanmyphotos.com ). I might think of cropping the picture very slightly to show less of the sky (maybe just above the roof of the hut)...

    Thanks for your comments..

    Cheers,

    The first photo grabbed me. The color of the lights...somehow they appeared fluorescent to me.

    Then I was drawn to the object/photo above the door. What is it?

    It is a painting of the emperor on his throne... Sharp eyesight...eek7.gif

    Those are just stained glass windows with the sunlight streaming through...

    Thought it was someone sitting on a chair...I didn't think of a throne
    though :D My eye sight isn't that good. I stared at the photo for quite awhile trying to figure it out rolleyes1.gif

    Ahhh...solid stained glass...never thought of that.

    I like your photos
    I've seen a few of your posts so far and I love them all. You do really good work. I love the one with the cows in this post, to bad the sky is blown out.

    Thanks Karrie... Yeah it was the setting sun behind the hills and I had a choice whether to expose for the cows or the sky and I chose the cows which blew out the sky- the range was just too much .... I do intend to crop the sky till it is just above the hut (that way you won't see too much of it... I guess my focal point were the cows and I also wanted to capture the entire hut...

    Appreciate your honest feedback... thanks
