Assignment: Working with Shadows

Don't be bashful! If you want comments, give comments. You don't need to be an expert photographer to express your opinion about the work of others. You don't need to go into great depth. A simple remark about cropping, composition, color, subject matter, etc. can be of just as much help to a budding photographer as an in-depth critique.

As you know, no photographic images can exist without light. Shadows, on the other hand, are typically ignored. For this assignment, I want you to include shadows in your image as part of your composition. I want you to explore their potential. For best results, shoot this assignment on a clear, bright, sunny day. Once you gather several images you are happy with, post your favorite to the Web site.
