The occation A visit in the village Bosilovo. 

Friendly Macedonian people passed along the village streets, yesterday and wondered what on earth I was shooting in this darkness. And like so many times at home, when I approach a group of people with the camera, they start joking with each other. An elderly man cried aloud, teasingly  to a friend: "come here and be photographed". A group of men, outside a pub were watching the photo shoot and informed an arriving companion, that now it is his turn to be photographed. The answer: Go and drown your self in the river. Raw but hearty. Anyway, it was a small series of evening photos of the village's streets and backyards. My favorite thought I use in this post for a photo tips on the use of shadows. 

Photo tip 2 of 100. Let the shadows talk!

The yard on this picture had, apparently many interesting shapes. Not least the raging monster shadow on the wall. How to take a picture like this? Sharp shadows is many times something undesirable in a photo, but they can also be used knowingly. Like when shadows offers interesting shapes and details. So the tip is simple: Look for talking, pleasing shadows and try to frame them in the picture. This picture was taken with the camera on the tripod, wide angle lens, slow shutter speed and iso 800. But imaginative shadow images can of course also be hand held, eg at midday when the sun is high and when formed extra numerous and black shadows. Try it and let the shadows come a live!
