Shadow Shot Sunday.

I recently came across a great blog dedicated to photography and specifically shadow shots.




Hey Harriet comes to us from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia and graciously hosts Shadow Shot Sunday each week, featuring (you've guessed it) fabulous photographs of objects and the shadows that they cast.




I decided to join in with the other participants, for the first time, with some photographs taken in the churchyard on Wednesday morning after the first heavy snowfall.




The peaceful serenity of the village churchyard, parts of which date to circa 12c.

  3. Hi Maggie I love shadows, just need the sun here in the UK. Although saying that we have had some today and the snow is melting from the roofs. On the right hand side of my blog page is a photo I took of Phil's and my shadow when we visited Savill Gardens in the snow just before Christmas!!

  7. Maggie, great discovery. . . both the shadows on the snow and the new blog event. These are beautiful photos. Wouldn't it be fun to capture these same spots with shadows during other seasons? You could have a series.
    Still cold here, but no snow. Just temps in the teens. Brrr. . . I'm staying inside to eat chocolate. LOL

  8. Hello Maggie,

    Shadows add a sense of mystery to photos, I think. Yours are wonderfully composed.

    Bon week-end

  15. Hi Maggie

    Thanks for the shadow photography link. I am going to consider joining as soon as I return home from Toronto where I am helping out with the care of our twin granddaughters born in Nov. We had lots of sun today so it would have been perfect to get out into the snow with my camera. Oh well, soon......
    Cheers

  19. Good Morning Sweet Maggie...
    As always you have done an amazing job photographing. I love the steeple picture. Is is so serene and peaceful at the same time. I love to walk around at the cemetary and look at the beautiful headstone. It is so quiet there and you can think. I love that most. Peaceful.

    I will pop over and see this photographing sight. It sounds so amazing.

    Have a beautiful evening sweetie. Country hugs and much love, Sherry

    Hope you are staying warm and have good books to snuggle up with.

  21. Welcome to Shadow Shot Sunday Maggie. Your images are just beautiful and so poignant covered with snow. We were in France during the northern summer and it was certainly sizzling then!

  22. Love, love your shadow shots today. I can't stop thinking about the movie version of 'Phantom' when I look at each photo. Great job.

  23. These are lovely! Thanks so much for joining in Shadow Shot Sunday! It's great to have you playing along.

    PS - I'm from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, but not NSW. That's a different state to Queensland. Not too far away though. We are neighbouring states :)
