Me and My Shadow
Image: © Andy Farrington Taken: 14 Jun 2011
This shot was taken from Johnston's Bridge near Kirkcowan and I struggled to work out why I kept getting a dark shadow on the grey granite stone bridge. I was using my small point and shoot Panasonic with an LCD screen which I was having trouble seeing through because of the glare ... because ... the sun was behind me shining on the camera and also casting my shadow on the bridge creating what is a really weird picture with part of my head appearing as reflected water. This was truly not posed and I couldn't do it again if I tried!
