Holy shit. That's a badass title. I'm going to have to break some thumbs for this one.
 
^ yeah man, you're gonna have to pull out all the stops :) And we accept re-submissions up to the deadline if you're not sure which one to pick or change your mind.
 
Just to be confirm...we can interpret the theme "shadows" to mean whatever we would like, correct?
 
Sure thing. You can explain why you think your picture fits the category too if you think it helps promote that idea :)
 
Zoplicone Bandit is going to have a hell of a time choosing from his photos!

I wonder if this round will have a lot more B&W than usual?
 
Yaay! Tubbsy gets things going :)

I really like that shot mate - the texture is fascinating.

Did you have to process/filter to get that, or did it just come out like that naturally?
 
I dropped the lighting down just a bit, but it came out that way without too much work on my part. It's growing on me, but I'd love to get a shot in the city, the way the shadows fall in some of the sketchy neighborhoods is fascinating to me, with light passing through busted windows, gaps in fences etc, has a layer of texture that's hard to find elsewhere.

Okay, I feel like I HAVE to be a "shadowmeister" at some point in my life, even if it's just for a month. But I'm nearly certain our resident z-drug thief will get the title, at least assuming he is still a resident.

I've got some good possible entries, I'll think about it a little. I have some from the solar eclipse last year, I don't know if you guys have ever seen the shadows as the sun starts to get covered, but it's like they're made up of tiny crescents the same shape as the sun, instead of being solid. I remember there was a partial solar eclipse when I was in 6th grade and I noticed it, and I was trying to tell adults about it but they were like "oh okay honey, that's cool, we're trying to talk" 8) I never knew if I was just imagining it, but now I have photographic evidence. %)

By the way, nice photo tubbs. :)

Damn BtS your dog is cute. Has anyone ever told you that? ;)

My little brother has a dog that looks a lot like that, he's an Australian Shepherd. Also my girlfriend's neighbor's dog who is I believe an English Shepherd. What kind of dog is yours?

CFC: That's stunningly beautiful
