This week’s theme, Shadow, is one that could be interpreted in many different ways particularly at this time. I call this photo, Stepping Into My Space:
ISO 25 f/2.2 1/1166sec 4.15mm
What’s going on in this photo? Quite a bit. I’ll divide it into pros and cons.
Pros: I’m out on my daily allowed by the government walk, and it’s a beautiful day. The other shadow is my walking partner/teenager and we are both healthy. This is a friendly dog.
Cons: This is not my dog, it’s not on a lead, and I am both allergic and scared of dogs.
For me, this photo has a bit of conflict and tension in it. The original file lent itself well to a square edit, so I went ahead and used Hipstamatic to create the image. After an initial shuffle of random filters, which the app will do for you with the touch of a button, I settled on a combination I liked and then did some additional edits to come up with this final version.
Your thoughts and comments are welcome below.
Cheers!

Your right to fear the dog. They are still wild animals inside…

Plus, I had a bad experience with one as a child, so that has always stuck with me, rational or not.

Sounds perfectly rational to me! When I walk in my neighborhood, I carry a screw driver in my pocket, never know when your going to have an unsupervised dog chase you.

One of my sons is scared of dogs, always has been. He would love to not be scared of them as he loves dogs to bits…

I personally would like to be able to feel like I could handle it better. It would be nice not to have to calm myself down every single time, this particular dog for example, was clearly not a threat when I was able to look at the situation as a whole.

I like dogs but feel owners need to be respectful and have their dogs on leash. Definitely stepping into your space.

Yes, I am a huge fan of dogs that are kept on a leash!
