Thanks, OG, I like that one, too. It's fun to play around a bit with light and shadows. And I thought I'd try that one as a B&W.

Nice one, splintercellsz.

I've taken a few hat-centric shadow/silhouette photos over the years. Had no idea I'd find a place here to post them!

Tim Bender beehive bowler in the backyard.

A bit o' whimsy with the same hat, looking more like the old Bill Cosby "Picture Pages" pen:

Clever snow shot, Jeff!

r.l. parker, good one! What's the surface upon the shadow resides?

Splintercellsz, you do realize that your diabolical picture was your 666th post?

 

[splintercellsz]

I did not! Haha, that's pretty spooky!

Your photo looks very empowering.

Thanks. Asphalt. I think I might have messed with hue and saturation a little bit in LightRoom.

Great shot! It has a very classic feel. I bet if you were to set it in black and white it could be mistaken for a shot from the golden era.

Re-post from another thread, but I just love this filter...

 

[bowlerman]

sweet! what filter is that?

 

[Alive'n'Amplified]

I run it through Photobucket. Don't know the name of it, but I used a high contrast low brightness setting, along with the filter.

Great shot, AnA. Very atmospheric--Bowlerman and David, too.

Couldn't see the black one at first glance. Tricky kitty!
