This was an incredibly fun photo walk – probably my favorite so far. I love the play of light and shadow and I love that "magic hour" right before sunset.

As always, please feel free to do your own photo walk. Use "light" as a prompt or anything else you can dream up. Keep the focus on just one thing though for a challenge.

All photos this time around were taken with Canon XSi around 7pm. ISO was set at 100 and I used manual focus (and then didn't do any focusing) for a few of them. See all photo walk posts here.

    I’m going to do this asap! I’d be meaning to take my camera along on a walk or hike through the neighborhood but didn’t want to look like a creep hah! Now I’m justified!

    I have it set on Av so I can make adjustments to the aperture and the shutter speed will match itself appropriately. 🙂

    I was asking because that lady (=you) totally looks like she is expecting.. are you? or is it only the wind that blows your shirt?

    haha – I promise when I have news to share it will be a much bigger deal than a random photo in a random post. 😉

    Elise,
    I love the photo walk idea, and now I’m addicted:) I was struggling the other day thinking of a “theme” for the day, as I like to call it, and this light theme would be perfect for my next walk. I only have a couple, but feel free to check out my neighborhood walks

    Light is an awesome subject! I’m at work during most of the daylight hours at the moment, so I might have to wait until a clear weekend or summer again, but I love it!

    I love all the light/dark neutral colors here! How did you take the 5th photo? I thought maybe you took it through a window/glass and it’s a partial reflection but it’s so clear it doesn’t look like it’s taken through glass.
    I had no idea there was a whole free font of cameras… awesome! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

    p.s. I don’t know anything about TypePad comments, but is there any way you can set it to where we get an email if someone replies to our comment? I LOVE that you reply to a lot of your comments but I have to go back to the post to check, and it’d be great if I could get a notification if you reply to my comment. Sorry if this is obvious or you’ve addressed it before… just wanted to ask. Thanks! 🙂

    Thanks! I mostly do that too, it makes me feel like I have some creative control without the worry of full manual mode!

    hey Skye, it should email you when I respond as long as you left your email address, which you do! Not sure what that is about, I get emails when I comment on other typepad blogs and the author responds… As for the photo – It was just taken in the street. I was partially blocking the light so you get the shadow. 🙂
