Innocent Shadow Poster from Zazzle.com

Views:Product Design

In elementary school I learned shadows were burned into stone and wood by the atomic bombs dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The haunting images of people's shadows, recording the instant of their deaths, had a great impact on me. The burned-in shadows are the surface's original color, protected from the atomic flash, leaving a darker or lighter color emblazed around the figures. Since many people are not aware of this effect, there are hints in the image that can lead them to its meaning. This image won the November-December 2002 stills round of the Internet Raytracing Competition. For more information, including a "making of," visit my website: Mark Slone - Home

Innocent Shadow

I bought this image because of the story behind it, a story which I tell all my visitors when they see it hanging in my living room. Absolutly stunning and haunting at the same time to see such history documented this way.

Great job

This is one of the most "real" digital images I have ever seen.

Re: incorrect lighting

Thanks for the comment. Lots of lighting effects in this image; I'm not sure I understand how the intensity gives the impression of night?

a nice idea, incorrect light placing

The intensity of light used to create the image gives the impression of night, contradicting the near noon time presented in the surrounding atmosphere, otherwise a nice idea.
