City Walk

Sidewalk Shadows

If you follow me on Instagram you know that I love, love, love taking photos of shadows. I thought I’d share some sidewalk shadows that I took on some recent city walks.

Black Lives Matter

On my latest city walk I visited Art Park, which has become the hub of Lancaster’s Black Lives Matter protests. I’ll let the art and signage speak for itself.

Tree Shadows in the City

I’ve been attracted to the shadows of tree on sidewalks and houses lately. On a recent city walk with my camera I took lots of photos of these shadows.

Photographing Flowers in the Park

I’ve been spending a lot of time in my local park lately. It’s so beautiful in spring with all the flowers blooming. To take these photos I used the aperture priority setting on my camera. I set the aperture to a wide opening (small number) to blur the background behind the flowers.
