March 2012 Photo Assignment
The assignment for March is "Shadow". Singular or plural.
It's a very easy subject, yet can be quite tricky. They're all around us but very often taken for granted. The best occur outside in early morning and late afternoon, but will never be the same 2 days in a row. Night time shadows cast by street lights or building lights are everywhere too. OK, enough clues, start noticing the shadows all around you. You will have to have a camera with you at all times. Rules: You must be the photographer, and it must be taken this month. Use whatever camera you have with you at the time. You may submit several images to get feedback, but by the deadline you must edit it down to one for the voting poll. Photo manipulation of contrast, brightness, color, sharpness and crop are allowed. "Chopping" something into the image is not allowed. HDR is not allowed. ( I suspect there will be an HDR assignment in the future. Save that technique for that assignment please) Use of Smart phone apps are not allowed unless used for the standard manipulation listed above. No borders, filters etc. (Again, another assignment ) Deadline for submissions will be 11 PM EST on Thursday March 29th, 2012. TxAg will compile the submissions into a voting thread that will last 3 days. The Poll will be single vote only and last till 8PM EST on Sunday April 1st. Have fun with this one! |

Well damn. It has to be taken this month. I am going to post one just for the fun of it. Was taken about two years ago at a private party. This guy has hired Faith Hill, Brooks and Dunn, and The Eagles were there last August. This picture was taken backstage when Bon Jovi played.

Debatable. I was looking at one last night at work. There is a storeroom on the bottom floor. There is a 7' tall cutout bunny stored in there. They sometimes leave the light on in the room so there is a bunny shaped shadow cast on the blinds. I'll shoot it tonight to illustrate.
The bunny is silhouetted, but what is seen from the outside is the shadow it casts on the blinds. Debate.... |

Cool, I didn't know about this section and found it by accident. Lol. I have no training or good equipment, but enjoy taking pics anyway. Txag's pm's now make sense to me.....duh. I have been painting and not reading as much. Can the shadows be reflections on water or is that different from shadows? Here is the only shadow I have if so. This looks to be fun!

Glad you found our little corner of the Barn Neece
Reflections are different from shadows, and will make a great topic for another assignment. There may be photos with a combination of shadows and reflections though. If there is a shadow in the photo, you'd be good. Questions are a good thing |

This is probably a first for me - actually getting a pic for a photo assignment in on time.....was at Sweetwater Brewery sipping on a Happy Ending Porter when I glanced down and saw this. I'm sure the people I was with thought I was crazy when I aimed my camera in my glass to snap this.
