Project 52 – Week 34 – Shadows

Friday morning means a new Project 52 post for you to feast your eyes on. Some of the members of the Beautiful Beasties Network (a professional pet photographers’ forum) are taking on the challenge of doing pet-related photography, with a theme that changes every week, for an entire year. The goal is to start shooting outside the box, to challenge ourselves as photographers and to expand our vision and talents. So far I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my participation, and I have learned to look at my dogs and their accoutrements in a different light (and at a different angle).

This week I got to choose the theme, so I settled on something that I’ve wanted to try for a few weeks now . . . shadows. Now, I know when you read shadows, you’re thinking that I might hide half the dog’s face in shadows in an attempt to be artistic. But no, I literally wanted to take some photos of shadows. The pictures didn’t turn out entirely as I’d envisioned, but I think they’re kind of cool.

Who could this be? Only the shadow knows!

I think this almost makes Jack Jack look like a wolf (more likely a mangy coyote!) – by the way, he was barking, not howling

These shadows don’t evoke thoughts of Cocker Spaniels as much as I was hoping they would . . . but if you look hard, I think the dog is recognizable within that grey blob.

Gracie gets into the act too . . . . she’s not as fluffy as this photo makes her look, I promise!

I you’ve enjoyed checking out the shadows on my sidewalk. As this is a blog ring, please continue on to the Windsor-Essex Furtographer’s blog for more awesome photos . Once you’re done with Nicole’s blog, keep clicking through the links at the end of each blog until you get back here, and you’ll have seen all of the Project 52 blog posts for this week.
