Shadow shutters

I love the song "Moonshadow" and I dont often get the chance to stand in the moonlight to cast a shadow, however I do stand in the sunset and sunrise, thats where I can cast my shadow. My hubby and I have already put together a few shadow snapshots of our shadows cast in famous places and upon some famous rocks, cliffs, riverbeds and desert sands, They prove to quite effective and since starting we have a few friends joining in with our little "shadow shutters" Its quite tricky to hold the camera, try and get all arms going somewhere or other and then still aim for a great photograph. Give it a try next time you come to an earthly canvas that your shadow is cast upon. Become one with nature - just a shadow on the wall . . . you know what I mean. This is one of our fun shadow shots - I nearly took a dive down the cliff in front of me giving my hubby a kick with the leg . . we had to compose ourselves afterwards for me to catch my nervous breathe back! Happy Monday to you all - be blessed and happy writings.

I love moonshadows, and find them fascinating. Just to think of the long journey that sunlight has to take and how it must ricochet off this big rock and then back to earth just to give me one little shaft of light to keep the darkness incomplete. Happy Monday, Inlemay!

That's a great shot! The shape on the right, what or who is it? It's like a person standing on the cliff...

That must have taken a bit of composing! Glad you didn't become just another selfie-related incident.

ha ha - we did a few, but we were laughing so much that if we had fallen to our deaths down the cliff, it would have been in a happy frame of mind - so to say

What a great idea. I haven't seen too many of these but it sounds a lot of fun setting one up.

we enjoy it and mostly we like to watch the people around us enjoy us being silly as well

This is a good photo, I usually see my shadow on photos where it should not be there at all.
