Photography SIG – Photos of the Month

Members periodically select specific subjects or themes for their photographs. The current theme is “SHADOWS.” While light may provide the key ingredient for photography, shadows provide the flavor. Shadows add depth, shape, and texture to our imagery — not to mention, contrast and balance. As in this theme, shadows can even become the focus or subject of an image. Simply put, a shadow is a dark area on a surface that appears when light from a light source is blocked by an object. Members were urged to use their imagination and creativity to try to capture an interesting shadow. The following photos taken and selected by members, exemplify that theme.
