From these three shadow samples, I have discovered a lot about the behavior of light. The first sample was created during class using a variety of lights coming from multiple directions; all being filtered through a wire mesh material. The second image is the shadow of a tree on a sidewalk. I found it interesting how the density of leaves influenced the intensity of the shadow. This created a very three dimensional image on the flat surface. The third sample is of a shadow on a set of stairs. The flat shadow became very dynamic on the multi-layered surface.
I found the second sample most interesting, and would like to investigate levels of translucency. I think layering has a lot of potential in creating different types of shadows, which is where I will further develop my investigations.
