Seen and Unseen

.
Pulling one from the archives this week, since it works so well for both Sepia Scenes and Thematic Photographic's "shadow" theme. Photographing shadows has always been a keen interest of mine, I'm intrigued by the interplay between the seen and the unseen. (I think) this one is a potted lemon tree, or perhaps it's the clementine. I'm too tired cold lazy to go upstairs and take a look. Here are some several related shots taken a few months earlier as well.

  2. Wonderful robin I like playing around with shadows also.

    I thought about joining the shadow photo meme too. But right now I am having some PC problems so I am waiting.

    This is very very good...I like it very much.

  6. That's lovely, Robin! I was psyched to see his theme was shadow(s), since I love them too :-) Mine'll be up at midnight my time.

  8. This certainly fits both of your themes.
    Very clever to use the sepia with the shadows. I never would have thought of that.
    I really like this - nice job.

  11. Works fabulously for both. Simple and elegant. Love the juxtaposition of the organic with the architectural.

  13. I like this a lot for either prompt. I suppose that shouldn't be surprising since I'm a big fan of monochrome and ... well, what's more monochromatic than a shadow?

  14. I find shadows very interesting. Especially on walls or ceilings. It adds a touch of mystery to them :)
