Shadows are something all of us have, as do all the objects around us. Not only are they something we see every day, but they can add a whole new creative perspective to your photos. So that's your task this week, snap a killer photo that just wouldn't be the same without shadows.

The contest begins today and ends Tuesday, April 22nd at 6 p.m. Eastern time. Good luck!

The prize

The winner of this week's contest will score a prize pack full of Mobile Nations swag featuring all kinds of goodies from your favorite sites. You can of course pick which pack you'd like but we already know you'll pick iMore, right?

The rules

Submitted photos must have been taken with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

We'll check the EXIF data of the original file to verify and any edits must have been done with an iPhone or iPad app. No Photoshop, Lightroom, or other external editing programs! If you have external lens accessories such as an Olloclip or other snap-on lens, you are more than welcome to use them.

You can submit as many photos as you'd like, but remember, this is a contest, so make sure you submit your best work!

Resources

Now, before you run off to take your photo, remember that it's not technical skill alone that will claim this prize. Even if you're not the best photographer (yet!), a great eye and a great subject can still get you the win.

However, a little help can never hurt, so make sure you check out our iPhone photography series for some tips.

How to submit

To submit your photos, just attach them to this thread and that's it, you're entered! If you don't have a computer to upload your photos from, you can use the Tapatalk app for free from an iPhone or iPad via the link below. No photos submitted outside of this thread will be considered, NO EXCEPTIONS.

Not so much shadow but a little bit on both. Not sure if they count.

The first one just has a frame.

Taken on a jazz tour of New Orleans as part of a Brass big band at Louis Armstrong airport just before the flight home. The word 'love' is the name of one of the songs in our set list by Nat King Cole where the letters L-O-V-E are spelt out by the band at the start of the song so it seemed like a fun idea at the airport to spell it out in shadows!!

The photo was taken with an iPhone 4 in VscoCam
