Early Morning Sun and Shadows in My Apartment

Thanks

Hi Jack

May be I don't understand the motive, but I like the result. Very artistic.

Well, that was quick! I'm a very early riser and am always fascinated by the little games the sun plays in the morning. Endless variety and endless surprises.

Jack,

I do clearly see good old Scrooge, happy as he is in the early morning, after the three ghosts have left him finding himself stil alive and well. No i do not dare to compare you with Scrooge, but you know sunlight, shadows and walls do sometimes, as you write, play fun games.

I am really trying to write something that is light and airy however the diffused dark side gives me a sense of being eerie.  Do I see the open beak of a crow? In some Caribbean cultures, a wild bird flying around in the house is a portent of bad luck, even death. 

Thanks for your imaginative comments on this picture. I can see Scrooge but the crow eludes me - thank God!

It nearly feels voyeuristic, but in a discrete way, somehow. Not brash invasive, but rather catching that little glimpse of a hidden world, and the itching curiosity that follows inevitably after. Slightly uncomfortable, but well, now that we're here... beyond that (personal) discomfort....

Somehow I also take some comfort in the ray of sun, that hides in the back. Comng from the shadows, we're moving towards it, and yet cannot see how bright, warm and nice the light will be. Most suitable for the time of year!

Nice light and shadow play on the verticals, well done.

just makes me feel comfortable and warm

A most magical capture of movement....of the Sun? Our Planet? Your power of observation to the Nth. power. I fathom your thoughts for taking such a magnificent, unique and mind-boggling image. Perplexing, vexing, delightful, challenging. Yes, that's it, you challenge the mind, as you probably challenge yours too.

I concur with D.G.: magic. Perhaps you are transforming into Gandalf, Jack. That would explain the wizardry in your photographs. 

Cryptic and intriguing, it commands my attention.

I have a sense of witnessing a conversation taking place, but having no idea of what is being said. There is definitely a sense of motion in the shadow. Nice work, Jack. --Lannie

BRAVO! Your popularity is present as always, and your fans....loyal. Turning the trivial to a riddle. Interesting composition leaving the left part with "something" sort of "intruding" to see what are you finding through your viewfinder. Interesting, you make the sun "raise" from left to right! He..he..he...Interesting as always, the subtleness of graduation in the shadows....and plenty more. Best regards. DG

I see a hide and seek being played between the shadow of a monster, and the grey little thing thats lurking in the corner on the left. Such simple elements, but so strong sense of story. I also like to experiment with these early morning and late evening shadows. I take the liberty to share a photo I recently shot. The difference is, my photo lacks the strong story line seen in your's.

Thanks Supriyo. I'm still getting used to navigating around PN after being absent for so long. I finally saw your comment and attached picture and I see we're pretty much on the same page. It's not the explicit that's important, it's what is implied that is fodder for the imagination. Your picture, which I have already commented on, assures me that you are aware of that. I rely on the viewer to play an important role in "understanding" my pictures (though there's really not much to understand). If the viewer has to be instructed what to see, than my work is not for them. I'm sure you get that.

Damn! I'm rather late to this party. - - Previously on a few occasions, Jack, I've observed what I took to be your penchant for offering various ways to bifurcate reality, whatever the hell that is. In this instance, I'll assume it's a two-dimensional object appearing before me. Here you offer bold, vertical black line as a means of partitioning the well defined realm from the fuzzy one. (Inasmuch as the fuzzy realm is much larger than the other, I'll conclude that you may be a subscriber to fuzzy logic. Its basic tenet is that many-valued logic is far more useful in variety of disciplines than a two-valued one, i.e., one whose values are limited to true or false only. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzy_logic) - - Also, I'm fascinated by how the area to the right of the vertical line contains a gradation of shadows from right to left. The further one's eye goes in that direction, the shadows become less well formed, i.e., more amorphous. - - Finally, I apologize to those folks whose com meets preceded mine if it seems that I filched any or your ideas. Hopefully I am not guilty of this.

Michael....thanks for the extended comment. I'm an early riser, usually up around 5, not really by choice but simply because I've become an old geezer who really doesn't sleep very well. The silver lining to this affliction is that I can see the early morning light and the attendant shadows. I'm always surprised how the light creates its own compositions that often send me stumbling after my camera. It's fresh creation daily if you're not too sleepy or too much in a hurry to get on the internet to notice them. I'm sure you're familiar with this phenomenon yourself. One other thing not really related to the picture but to comments on photos in general. They were much easier to read on the last version of PN and you could actually have line breaks. This long stroll across the page is daunting for these old eyes. I certainly welcome the dialogue but I do wish they would make comments easier to read. I don't know why they don't use the same layout they have on the forums which seems to work very well.

Jack, I too don't like the comment formatting. I tried addressing this onSite Help, and several members told me that I was the only one still having the issue.

In any case, I'd appreciate hearing what you thought about my emphasis on fuzziness.

I like it Jack...it’s a nice abstract image and I feel the visceral sense of warmth cast by the sun...very expressive...regards....David

Wonderful image with unique play of shadows & light. Take care,............Patsy

Thanks Patsy. An image from the good old days when comments were plentiful and I looked forward eagerly to my time each day on PN
