Everyday scenery

A photo of a fence. While the fence itself is ordinary, its shadow takes center stage in this image. The length of the shadow, the surrounding brightness, and other elements make this seemingly simple shadow quite intricate. The familiarity of this everyday scene adds a sense of connection.

Where there is light, there will always be shadows. Shadows themselves are not physical objects but merely images. However, focusing on shadows in photography can dramatically change how we perceive them.
