Nice theme. I'll give a try

By shadows, should we think the Shadows?

...By shadows, should we think the Shadows?
"The" Shadows

Hmm, showing our age, are we?

[Immunogirl]

Or pictures of late night visitors or things that go knock in the night... Or maybe goths, if those still exist.

[Bart]

I like shadows, actually.

Usually, I'll walk in the shadow rather than in the sun.

So, unsurprisingly, I have some photos readily available for this theme.
All with Panasonic FX500.


Campo Santo in Gent, Belgium






Pier in Nieuwpoort, Belgium






B&W by itself







Allow me to add this one just for fun - outside of the contest that is.

And we're off

Bart, you made nice entires... I'm not surprised to find an "almost" B&W
I've been crawling through my archives and discovered I had no suitable pictures yet.

[Immunogirl]

Great entries Bart, I think the graveyard one is the most powerful. I love Gent, Maybe about 7 years ago I spent a lot of time in Belgium.

G.T. - I guess you're just going to have to go out and take some pictures

[Bart]

Thanks G.T. Have to be true to my reputation

Thank you, Immunogirl. Nice to see you love Gent. Actually, I live just between Gent and Brugge (around 20 Km). Another 'mediaeval' town with good photo opportunities.

[G.T]

I still have one month to go out... I hope I'll have some light instead of rain: today was pretty wet.

My first one, with the Sony DSC-V1, aging 5MP point and shoot:



Hope to have a few more this time around. Sunlight does help...

[Immunogirl]

There are always flashlights when there's no sunshine.

I like how you froze the water drops from the fountain.

[chubasco]

Thanks, will check the EXIF info, but must have been fast shutter speed. EDIT: Like
this one better, taken with Olympus 35SP 35mm rangefinder, Fuji Xtra 400, BW conversion
in Silver Efex Pro:

[Immunogirl]

My contributions, which of course don't actually count 'cause I'm judging. All taken with a pentax optio w60. I was actually pretty tempted to make this month's contest reflections instead of shadows.

[chubasco]

Love that 2nd one, will be doing some kayaking on the Tennessee River later this month. The
last time I was in a kayak was the early 80's, sea kayaking near Vancouver BC.

Here's my first entry, I hope it isn't off-topic. From file, don't ask me how I made it.
From my old 3MPix :

Camera Pentax Optio 30
Exposure 0.003 sec (1/400)
Aperture f/2.9
Focal Length 5.8 mm
ISO Speed 50
