Description
Captured 5/31/14, of a teen center pergola style structure, situated at the same local park where I have snapped countless other shots. I took similar shots of the same pergola and shadows back in December of 2013, which were taken near high noon. The sun is relatively low at that time of the year. I snapped this one at 8:15 am, and is most tame compared to the ones from last December, but I still like the effects, comparatively subtle as they are.
Aloha.

I love how the lights/shadows all take on different sizes and shapes, i.e. chevrons, squares, stripes and spots...it's such an esoteric image if you only look at the light or only the dark! Amazingly cool 3-D (or even 4 or 5 D) effects; you got a real winner of a capture here. I love it!

Perhaps a shorter depth of field blur would have made the background of the photo and would have more scene this bright abstraction form these geometric figures projettées by light on horizontal or orthogonal carriers!

Huh? I can't find my code book on this comment. I think it came out quite well considering I was using a $100 point and shoot camera with very few setting options.

I'll mention Monet again, with his series of haystack and cathedral paintings, etc, where he painted the same subject, but at different times of day, so he could get all the varieties of light and hue for each. That's what you're doing here, and I'm all for it: It's absolutely part of your art. The ultra-sharp contrasts are only offered at certain times, so getting the other contrasts make this a full-range of contrasts. This one's beautiful. It's almost---forgive the analogy---like the pergola got chicken pox: It's speckled all over, and the diagonals are so pure it's almost an abstract. It's like someone painted those notches on the pillars, they're so perfect. In this shot, the lights seem almost painted-on, or as if they were part of the solid matter itself. And it all opens up in the upper center and falls into restful shadow below. A fine shadow study, and the stark clean-cut diagonals I swear look like someone put them there. Just shows how much there is in a "simple shadow" shot---a whole world. Fine work, I agree with the above. Harry, I'm at 2 hours now, so I have to stop again. But I'll be back again. The one drawback---and it's the ONLY one---of your 3-a-day pace is that, just as I make it to page one of your gallery---boom! 3 more go up! Lol---I'm playing catch-up here. But I do get some current ones, so I'm eating into the final stretch, come hell or high water. A pleasure as always. And a learning experience too.
