Metering for shadows is an interesting experiment. If you meter for the shadow, in full daylight, the light area gets overexposed.

The first two images in this gallery are the same thing in a flagrant violation of the stated instructions. They are going for different things though. The first is the shadow of the plant and the second is the light ripples in the shadow from the light bouncing off the planter.
The brown paper was interesting because the shadows all have different densities depending on how many layers the sun had to shine through.
The cat tree tower shadow was interesting because of how nebulous it was. It came from diffused light through the doorway. A bunch of focused-sourced diffused light?
I just liked the contrasting angles of the shadows crossing the different grains.
The basketball hoop has the sharp dense shadows as well as the thin ones of tinted glass.
The can on the snow has those dark shadows of the leaves and can crease as well as the shadow with the snow reflecting more light into it.
The blue wall was interesting as both the shadow and the light wiped all color from it. I took a picture of it metered for both the shadow and the light. I posted it metered for the light as the over-exposure is violent and bright and some details are still visible in the shadow.
The down spout looked as if it were sucking up the shadows.
Designs on mesh.
Mug handle with shadows from different light sources.
The next several were inspired by the art I chose. I liked the idea of all the different textures being highlighted by the shadows, and regret I didn’t use an apple instead of the lemon for a different texture. My favorite is the last one.

Erika Ottela is apparently one of a number of artists that has done shadow work on eggs. I don’t think she was the artist I was originally thinking of when I googled shadows on eggs but I did like how her photo came out. I used her image as inspiration for the yoga mat/egg/fruit photos.

I think I need to work on using different stops besides F5.6. I hadn’t realized how often I was dialing in just to maximize my light.
