At first I was not sure how I planned to capture the shots for this assignment; when I think of light and shadows I think of just before noon or later in the evening. I actually started with the 2 bottom shots, I took these on a stroll though the Yale area. I fell in love with that bridge and when I warmed the picture a little more it gave it a "dusk" feel, despite being taken about 1pm. Walking about to my house I kept playing with different ways to take the pictures, and captured the second one.
The first three I used my son as a little muse. We were going to the movies, he like to climb the walls and jump off the blocks, I noticed his shadow as he was doing this and snapped the picture mid fun (my favorite is the one of him jumping) and while walking in I notice the way the light poured into the windows, I then edited them to be black and white to add some drama. I was curious if it was ok that he was partially in the picture or if that does not work?
The view down the path to the bridge is a classic. I do like the stark light in the empty parking lot and the way the blue sky was rendered a dark gray. Looks like you had fun with this.... I like the one of you son mid-air too!
