Shadow Shot Sunday #31

Howdy! Today marks my 100th post! Ok, it took me almost a whole year to publish 100 posts, and with so many wonderfully prolific bloggers out there it’s not a huge achievement by comparison, but it made me happy to reach that number. Another thing making me happy right now is that I’m on holidays from work for a few weeks. Yippee! Due to this, for the next two or three weeks I’ll be having a bit of a bloggy break, but will still continue the Shadow Shot Sunday posts during this time. I expect things may be a little quieter on the shadow front this time of the year but anyone still around and wishing to join in, please do, as SSS will still happen each Sunday as usual. Also I’d just like to mention that if you add your shadow shot link to Mr Linky after Tuesday Australian time, there is a good chance that it will be too late to be included in a collage. Creating the collages and the links that accompany them does take me quite some time to do, and I do them whenever I have the spare time to. That spare time is often earlier in the week. With the time zone differences I’ve always been flexible with the times to post and link your shots, and that will not change, but if you’re keen to have your shot included in a collage I thought I’d mention for future reference that Tuesday will be the collage cut-off day. I’ll include this info and anything else relevant I can think of somewhere else on the blog with a link to it each week so any new participants in the future can simply click for the details. Better than boring you all senseless here with repeating the same waffle each week!

The four Shadow Gallery collages this week feature one photo from each participant from last Sunday. If you’d like to participate in SSS, it's easy peasy! Shoot a shadow, post it on your blog on Sunday (or close to Sunday), then add your link to Mr Linky at the bottom of this post, and visit other players. Have fun!

Here's my Shadow Shot(s) Sunday #31



These shots are taken of my newly acquired vintage Argus seventy-five camera that I recently won from the awesome Claire of the Naked Lady in Bloom blog. Isn’t it great? These cameras are perfect for the TtV (Through the Viewfinder) technique and I’m so looking forward to having some fun experimenting with it! Claire also very kindly constructed a nifty lens tube contraption for me. Thanks ever so much Claire!

Last weekend we had our first BrisStyle team market and it was a fantastic day. It was a great success and the event I believe exceeded all of our expectations. My BrisStyle blogging buddy Bec has done a spectacular post about the market over on the BrisStyle blog so head on over to check it out. It’s an informative and super fun read with lots of photos! The post also includes a bunch of links to other fab blogs that posted about the event. I was also going to do a post about the market but with everything so perfectly covered by Bec and many others, I’m now taking the easy option instead by typing click here!

Well, have a wonderful week ahead everybody and I hope you all enjoy your Christmas celebrations in the company of those you love, and surrounded with fabulous food. It’s funny to imagine so many people will be experiencing a white Christmas (or at least a very cold one!) while we here in Australia will be sweltering in the humidity of our scorching summer! Whatever the temperatures may be, enjoy and stay safe. xo

Happy Sunday & Merry Christmas!

What an awesome camera, I'm still getting the hang of a digital, so going backwards for me would be too much of a strain for this blond brain to fathom...have a wonderful, restful week and fabu holiday!

I've been following and enjoying your shadows for ages and I'm expecting santa to bring me a new camera for Christmas so that I can finally join in!

A very merry Christmas to you.
I'm having a bit of Argus envy here...
What great shots..I like that camera.
Have a wonderful Christmas Tracy..
Wishing all the best to you and yours
for the New Year..

We are getting snow and tomorrow is suppose to be a bad storm..Not liking this kind of weather. Would rather Santa hitchhiked, instead of using his sled. Oh, I shouldn't be so grouchy..forgive me.
Chubby Chieque said…
Cool shots! all of them.

Enrich shadows compare to me :-( I have to chase them for tomorrow's post.

I will revert when I post mine.

Hugs!
bobbie said…
Very cool photos. Very cool camera!

Thanks for your comments on mine. I don't think I'll be doing many comments today. Sick, sick, sick. So many people are just now. Probably the crazy weather.

Love your new camera - it makes me regret all those early cameras from the Sixties which I ditched.

Have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy your break!
Gemma Wiseman said…
Your new camera looks quite a professional piece! O wow!

After the end of school year plus moving house, I am about to collapse into school holidays too! I am not sure how I will post in this time! Probably scatttered, but I will definitely be keeping up with the shadows around for Sunday posting!

Enjoy your time out!

And a very happy Christmas!

I don't think I would like to meet Gallery Juana's cat. Those teeth look really sharp!

The old argus 75 hey! I have absolutely no idea about vintage cameras other than it looks kind-a old to me ;) Great shadow shots!

Hope you enjoy your holidays and have a fabulous christmas & new year.

I can't wait to see what you do with your Argus 75! (I'm trying to learn from everyone out there doing TTV!) I just got a Kodak Duaflex and have been trying out TTV for the first time. It's tricky, but such fun...
I LOVE your new vintage camera! So cool looking...and great in the shadows!! I especially like the 2nd one! I can't wait to see the photos you shoot thru it.

3 weeks off...lucky goose!!

Janis said…
OMG -- the first collage leaves me awestruck. You did a perfect job of creating an eclectic piece that warms the Christmas spirit. BEAUTIFUL! Every one of them takes my breath away but that one . . . !!!

Congrats on your 100th post!
Unknown said…
Firstly, Congrats on the 100th posts :D Now that is one cool camera..I was wondering what was it, thought it looked like a toy petrol pump haha!! and to win it, you lucky bunny!! I always have fun looking at all the collages everytime, I know its hard work..but someone's got to do it ;p
oh yes...the shadow shots are fantastic. The second shot reminded me of your dumpster SSS but I am sure you didnt put it there. Yep, the show was awesome..and I was bogeying during the last 3 songs :D Have a Merry and blessed Christmas T, much love M
Elizabeth said…

Congratulations on the 100th post. Temp today...19 degrees F with a wind chill below zero! And I was out in it to get just the right shadow shot! What we will do for our 'art'.
Terri said…
What a great camera! And your shots are terrific too.

I dug through shots from a couple weeks ago when we had sun for some shadows. Next I'll explore shadows of the night or some such.

Happy Solstice!

Hi Tracy (although I am sure you answer to Harriet also!), another couple of great shadow shots and terrific collages. I think the black and white one of the camera is perfect and so expresses the time. With shadows, of course! Lovely.
What a SUPER cool thing to be gifted with! I know you will have a blast with the new acquisitions.
Thanks for hosting the SSS and I look forward to many more SSS's in the future.
Have a Blessed Holiday!
Sarah McBride said…

Bobbi said…
I am soooooo missing my shadow shots friends! Hybernation is almost over (although I may have a hard time coming out!) it's been very nice. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Congratulations on the camera win! I am going to rummage through my father's bag of vintage cameras and bring back one. I want to try this Ttv technique.

I didn't do the shadow shot this sunday but will enjoy looking at everyone's shots.

Have a wonderful holiday.

Oh Tracy, you are too sweet, I'm so happy you like it! I've been meaning to email you and will! I've missed 4 SSS in a row. I'm still taking my shadow shots, just haven't found time to post much lately. Can't wait to see what images you capture TtV of your new toy. Much love! Your friend, Claire

I do have to get my act together, I have a fun shot of a cordyline shadow reflected in the pool.
Hope you're having a wonderful holiday break!
