Description
Five out of 44 pics captured 12/10 & 12/11/13, of a teen center pergola style structure, situated at the same local park where I have snapped countless other shots.
A ZOOM would add to the viewing benefits.
I normally visit the park very early in the morning for photos, so this is the first time I went there later in the day, around 11:45 am, when the sun was pretty well overhead and in a virtually ideal position to do its stellar shadow work. As a lover of shadows, this was like nirvana to me, so I began moving, composing and clicking away at a hectic pace because I was so excited and stimulated by this surreal scene. Anyway, it took two days to get in all the shots because my battery was exhausted after eight fotos the first day, so I returned exactly 24 hours later to finish the shoot. And best of all, there were only three other people at the park, and not close enough to create a problem.
Toodles.

How very cool these are! The shadows are so stark and shadowy, and the grid pattern so striking. Well done you, and worth having to go back and finish!

These 2 recent shadow collections are giddily active and eye popping, and amazing that they came not from a wild modern design---created to make all kinds of interplay of light and shadow---but from a simple pergola, which, although it's designed to let in light, isn't necessarily designed with dramatic effects in mind. You picked the right time---early morning for this would've created a whole different milieu. And you showed the patience of coming back a 2d day, to get more of what you were seeking. I imagine you studied these views many times over when you were there. The first shot looks like a park structure with a strange case of measles, lol. Amazing how the breakup of light speckles the thing. The second, you explore shadow and light on a flat ground surface, which is fascinating for the diagonals of the concrete, and how they cross the diagonals of the shadows on near-right angles. And how the shadows are perfectly aligned with the edge of the background building. This is first rate composition, Harry; and I imagine you walked all over hell to find just the right pov's here. The 3d through last are closer views of the measled speckled "interior" (so to speak), with several angles, and with some shots of the ceiling beams---if one can call them that---and how the light breaks into those as well. I like the inclusion of the right-side column in 4, adding a strong punctuation mark to the broad perspective. And 5 brings us closer to the interior spots of number 3. A giddy explosion of strong contrasts and very strong patterns. I'm glad not too many people were around. Wonderful series...and now to the 2d one (I'll fav both with that image)...
