The photo of the lamp post and trees is my favorite shadow photo of these four because of the little amounts of light in the dark and also the sky behind it. I love how the whole picture is lit up because of that one lamp post and the background is juts dark with the trees. It was pretty difficult to capture the shadow and lamp post in the frame, as well as the sky. The colors all mixing together is such a beautiful sight and and looks spectacular in the night. I also love how the snow gradually fades as it is closer to the woods behind. The final thing about the photo I like is how since you can see the light and shadow you also perceive the direction of light and the shadow clearly marked on the opposite side with the subject right in the middle.

The picture on the right of the endless mirror is easily my favorite out of all the photos for this project. For one thing it looks really pleasing to look at. You could see it as a curving tunnel which there is no tangible ending. Or like a bunch of images of the room and it is displayed all across from each other. It also reminds me a little of my childhood since I was always goofing around with that mirror an trying to find really cool designs with it. It is actually a mirror on a small cupboard which opens up and the images get reflected on a bigger mirror in the room. I was always trying to put myself in front of it and then counting how many of versions of myself I could see on the mirror. In each mirror image you see different parts of the room as well. Like in one you see the light switch, another a towel, and also a door knob appears randomly.
