Raking Up Night Exposures
These shadows came to me one night when we got home late. I haven't taken any pictures at night before, and none of them turned out decent anyway, but I couldn't stop myself from trying to capture these shadows.
About one hundred shots later, I ended up with these three photos. They are dark, and they are night shots. Tracy, can you see what you're doing to me? I even chased shadows at night! How is that for a nut case?
I remember when I was younger; I played with my own shadows! Now, I'm an old woman playing with whatever shadows I could find. This was the shadow of my rake that was left in the corner of our driveway.
I haven't figured out how to take night pictures yet even though I have night shot mode on my camera. I tried it, but it didn't work out as I had hope.

I played with my shadows when I was young too.
ReplyDeleteI played with the shadows of my hands. It can be a cat, a butterfly or anything.
Oh wow, another creative take, Icy! So cool! I'd like to try those one of these days! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat? 100 shots? Can you change the ISO to higher?
ReplyDeleteGreat angles!
I think you got some terrific shadow shots regardless of the time!! I'm still trying to learn how to use the night shot feature on my camera, too. But so far I haven't been successful, but I'll keep trying! Have a great day!

Isn't it amazing how shadows can make such interesting images? Thanks for sharing once again.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful patterns of light and dark, my favorite is the last one. I like the post title too. :)
ReplyDeleteI think your pics look great! I really do enjoy your shadow pics.
ReplyDeleteIcy, these are great! I love them.
ReplyDeleteHehe...if you're a nut case then so am I :) I'm not very good at night shots but it's fun just experimenting. Yours turned out just fine I think!
ReplyDeleteI used to love to play with my shadow too. I think your shots t urned out well. Taking pictures at night is not easy.
ReplyDeleteLove the shadows created by the rake. The middle one almost looks like a mirror image. For someone who doesn't take night shots you did very well.
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies for words of encouragement!
ReplyDeleteEbie--With higher ISO, the pictures turned out very grainy!
Love it Icy, I never even think of shadows during the day so at night they wouldn't even come to me. I don't like the shadows of myself because they are always too fat :D
ReplyDeleteI know this obsession! I love chasing shadows!
ReplyDeleteI like the rake shadows - night shots are difficult.
