Warm greetings fellow shadow hunters! šŸ˜ šŸ™ šŸ’š āœØ šŸ¤™

For my entry in Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 353, I'd like to share a few photos that I took last week, of some very pretty shadows playing in the leaves of some Asian sword ferns (related to Boston ferns) that are growing right outside the Flow House. I see and appreciate their lovely shadows often, as I go about my day, and sometimes, like today, I photograph them, when the light is just right.

Due to the particular position of the sun in the sky, and the angle from which I was taking most of these shots, actually getting good photos was not very easy because of the glare. I persisted, and after many attempts, I did get a few pretty good ones. I hope that you appreciate them as much as I did when I took them! šŸ˜ šŸ™ šŸ’š āœØ šŸ¤™

Youā€™re definitely doing great with just a phone camera!!
Maybe try to get your hands on an older DSLR with a 50 1.8 lens or something, they will open a whole new world of photography as well!

Hahaha...oh, indeed, I know, and that's what I'm afraid of! I'm already pretty deep into photography now even with just my phone camera, so I can't even imagine how it would be with actual dedicated cameras and lenses! šŸ˜ šŸ™ šŸ’š āœØ šŸ¤™

Capturing the perfect shot despite the glare must have been challenging, but it sounds like your persistence paid off.
