shadow play

Shadow play is one of my favourite things to look at on Flickr. There are some amazing street photographers that use shadows to create the most incredible shadowscapes that rely on precise timing. Once such photographer is Flickr - christian1712. His work is so clever and the titles he uses show just how much thought has gone into his composition.

It has inspired me to get into the city and do some street photography but while I am getting motivated to do that trek, I thought I would give shadow play a go outside of my home. This is R walking down the street on bin night, it was around 8pm. I used the light from the street lights above him and my 50mm on f/1.8, ISO1600. It is quite grainy which I think adds to the mood I was trying to create. I converted it to black and white in Lightroom.
