Everyone is welcome to join in with the Friendly Friday Photography challenge.
This photo challenge is alternately hosted each Friday by the bloggers:
Something to Ponder About and The Snow Melts Somewhere
The prompt for this Friday is:
Shadows
I hear you say that you don’t have a photo with a cool ‘Shadow’ in it?
Then create one, like I did above! Add a frame or border with a photo app if you like.
I am really curious to see what you come up with this week!
Spread the word and gets your blog community to join in on the fun.
Instructions for Joining:
- Write a post including a URL link back to this Friendly Friday post.
- Tag your post ‘Friendly Friday’
- Once published, paste the link to your Friendly Friday ‘Shadows’ post, in the comments here, so we can find you and visit your blog.
- Include in your post the Friendly Friday logo, found below, if you wish.
- Please note there are no deadlines for participating. New prompts are posted each week alternately at the host blogs.
- Be a part of the Friendly Friday Community and visit the links in the comments section. It can be quite interesting to see another person’s post on the prompt.
See you over at Snow’s blog TheSnowMeltsSomewhere next Friendly Friday.
That’s quite a difficult topic this week Amanda, nevertheless, here’s my entry. Happy Friday and have a lovely weekend everyone. 🙂

An interesting theme, Amanda! When editing pics for my blog, I often increase shadows to add a bit of drama and make them stand out so they don’t look flat 😊 So I’m all for shadows in photography!

That is interesting, Snow. Shadows can create a dramatic effect. Do you edit all your photos, or just the ones that might warrant adjusting?
LikeLiked by 1 person
I used to edit them all very carefully. Now I no longer have the time or patience! 😆 Do you?
LikeLike
No way would I have the time to edit them all. There are some that don’t need enhancement, as they are only for my record. I do find editing useful if you have auto snapped and the light needs fixing. Then “crop” is also useful. We are fortunate to live in an age where we have access to an infintite number of photos. Unlike the old days where you rationed your shots due to a limited number of photos on a roll of film! Remember that?
