03.16.14 52 Week Challenge-Shadows

I have been playing around with this picture in my mind’s eye for a couple days now. I wanted something that was mysterious looking that still met the theme of the week of “shadows.” I ended up shooting it last night during a commercial as I was watching “The Walking Dead.” If you’re a fan, wasn’t that a mind blowing episode last night? Anyway, back to the picture. I used a clamp on light with a 150 watt bulb to cast a shadow of my hand on my bedroom wall as I held the camera and shot the photo with the other. It took a few tries, but I’m happy with the way this one turned out. Kinda reminds me of a “Walker.”

Photo was shot with my Nikon D800 and post processed in Photoshop CS6, with just a few adjustments, mostly in the shadows of course.
