Shadow Hunting (SMASh) Round 291

Hello everyone! 😎 📷

It's a 291st Shadow Hunting (SMaSh) contest in a row. One of the oldest contests on the Hive blockchain, it has been running continuously for more than five and a half years and regularly pays out rewards for interesting shadows.

Do you have any good shadows to show? Be brave, this is not a strict photography contest where strong juries judge frames, lighting, contrast and so on. Just an interesting shadow, a moment in time that you captured with your camera or phone and that's enough. Shadows are everywhere, especially on a sunny day outside.

So, are you ready for Shadow Hunting? Believe me, you won't find this opportunity anywhere else. You go out for a walk, take photos of shadows, post them, and get rewarded for it. Where else have you seen that? That's awesome!

Did you know that our community paid out $16,196.10 in rewards last year? $7,485.42 author rewards and $8,710.68 curator rewards? Source.
What you're waiting for?

Although I take a lot of photos, I don't consider myself a good photographer. I only use my phone. Shadows are everywhere and if you make it a challenge you will see more of them.
For today I have prepared some photos of shadows, the first four were taken in one location in just fifteen minutes.
I hope you like them.

My wife and I went to the seaside for a weekend on the island of Pag in Croatia and stopped for a coffee in the town of Senj. The weather was sunny and clear and while we waited for our coffee I went into action :)

Pigeons

We sat on a bench on the shore and watched the sea, a flock of pigeons circling us. And this one was coming at me, I had to take a photo.

And a whole flock. Yes, we were eating some sandwiches, so they came to us. They were waiting for crumbs.

And the shadow of the bench on the dock before the pigeons flew in.

Shadow of a tree

The shadow of the tree where we had coffee.

As I mentioned at the beginning, I shot all this in just 15 minutes. Coffee, one cigarette and shadow hunting :)

Then we moved on, from Senj to the island of Pag another 52 kilometers. First the ferry, and then, the final destination - a shadow on the beach.

That's all for now, thanks for your attention :)
