My First Shadow

Melinda, meaning @melinda010100, is the host of a competition that calls for creativity and search. Melinda is a very nice person and has invited me a few times to participate in this contest.

I was not ready. I was sorry I didn't post shadows, but I could not find anything that I liked enough to think it was worth showing.

Much later, that is today, I understand that I have to build something for the contest. That I have to create something. This contest urges us to creativity. It gives us the theme and we need to show our imagination and ability.

The theme for this week is:

Bottle And Jar Shadows

Here is the photo with which I participate for the first time in this contest:

Let me now show you how I came to this picture.

The first attempt was using sunlight. Unfortunately, the sun was directly overhead and shade less spectacular.

I understand then that I have to make the shadows in the house. I decided to project the shadow on a wall. I've had several attempts!

First, using a light bulb.

Second: The Light of a Candle

The shadow was, as expected, rather weak. That's how I came to the last test, using the torch from the phone as a projector.

That was thankful for me. But there was another problem. I have taken several pictures and now it is very difficult to choose. I don't know what to post...

Only shadows?

... or...

The bottles with their shadows?

Finally I chose an image to see the bottles. I don't know if I made the right choice ... but I had to decide.

If you want, you can tell me your opinion. Would you have chosen something else?
