Shadow photography

I'm fascinated by shadows. Everyone else in my photography group wants bright pics in the sunshine. I'm always looking for the dark corners.

Anybody else like shadows? Any tips they might want to share?

Shadow photography can definitely be fun. Try not taking a meter reading of the shadow. You want the shadow dark and the surrounding area with the proper exposure. Very effecting when the shadow is bouncing off a textured surface.
