Belonging to a group of photographers can be rewarding, entertaining and educational. Here in Rochester, home of Kodak, there are many gifted 'photogs', and they span many decades in age and experience. What is especially nice is that, in general, the pros are willing to share their knowledge with newbies and veterans alike. This helps to create a harmonious community in which we can all admire and critique each others' work [part of the learning/growing process]. I belong to one such group, which gathers on a monthly basis to view our images that fulfill an assigned theme. Below are two images for the assignment: shadows or silhouettes [or both]. Obviously, I chose shadows; both of these images were generated with my cell phone camera. The conversion to B&W was done during editing.
