Winter shadows are great fun.

The strong sun, coming in at a low angle, creates images of high contrast. Many of these carry a degree of humorous ‘threat’: the kind one can imagine on the cover of a dark novel.

The ‘intruder’ appeared when I was framing the shot of Tess, sitting on a bench. The sun came out behind me and suddenly there was a new figure in the shot… An ancient monk, perhaps, bearing a staff!

And he’s behind us!!!

  1. Ah, the dreaded shadow! I tend not to see mine when I’m framing a shot, then there it is photo-bombing.
