Focus On Life Week 2 ~ Silhouette

This week we're continuing the minimalist theme with capturing a silhouette.   A photograph with a subject(s) captured in a shadowy outline with little or no detail against a bright background.  It sounded pretty easy.  After all, I can't count how many times I've taken a picture into the light and then couldn't tell who or what I had taken a picture of.  Capturing a silhouette intentionally proved a little challenging.  Thankfully, Sally provided some tips which made it a little easier.

Besides learning how to take a silhouette photo, I also realized I need to wash windows come spring!



Have a wonderful weekend!

  3. I also really like the one of the lamp against the curtains. Who would have thought a lamp would be such a great subject.

  11. Stunning photos. The angel is fab, very Dr Who :) I love the small patch of light underneath her wing which just gives a flash of detail to the rest of the silhouette. I really like the contrast of the lamp in front of the lacy curtain in the second photo.
