    as Paul said, the disappearing shadow is very cool… the eye keeps going there and then falling – very disconcerting!

    I love these. I am waiting for the timing to take a photo of one with a red stairway, but its on the highway, so havent figured out how to stop in the right place yet. This is great with the arched shadows.

  • Mark Richards replied

    Hey Jan, was wondering if you ever got the shot of the fuel storage tank on the highway that you mentioned?

    Wow, this is fabulous! I was trying to capture shadows on a tank last week, nothing as awesome as this though, and the security guards tried to shoo me away too….

    many thanks Gary, I still working on the portfolio, I think I getting a feel for the type of photography I enjoy doing most now… though not much different to what I’ve been doing, just the post processing.
