Caught in the act

As I came down to breakfast this morning I just caught 'Mr Man' stealing the "family silver".
It's strange how shadows look - he sits next to the recipe books and the sun was streaming through the windows causing the shadow on the wall. The object that looks like a swag bag is actually a large clip used to hold the pages of a recipe book open while cooking.

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel

Well spotted - it really does look like he's about to tiptoe away!

I really like the contrasts and the sharpness of the shadow. Very interesting :) /Johan

Whoa! Nabbed first hand! You did a great job capturing the moment -- you have to keep your eyes on these guys every second!

cool shot..kind of spooky
Guest 20-Feb-2005 23:35
Very good, excellent twist on a much used prop! How about turning your hand to the other PAD favourite the egg?

Very cool! Makes for a very unusual photograph.

great lighting, I hope you reported him to the police! (or at least threatened him with sandpaper!)
Guest 20-Feb-2005 22:06
Very imaginative, I love it!

Really inventive shot - which of course is what you can do to burglars now :)

Great shadow - isn't the low sun good for these.
Guest 20-Feb-2005 19:54
great shot - I love shadow pictures and this one is very creative - tells many stories. Has a very melancholy feel to me. Great stuff
Guest 20-Feb-2005 19:47
