Silhouettes are created by a strong back-light, usually the sun or bright sky, which causes the near side of object to become dark. These four images show the effect well and perhaps the black and white ones best of all. In all cases there is a very high contrast which is always interesting to the eye, dark blacks and bright white areas. Highlights may become too overexposed and dark area too much underexposed, so getting the correct exposure can be difficult.
Blackpool beach fishermen enjoy the Summer evening as shadows lengthen
Interesting lightening of these beautiful welsh mountains at different distances from
the camera as the atmosphere and mist help to reflect light around the valleys
A solitary bullrush against a bright winter clear sky
Beaches give strong contrast enhanced by the storm-light between clouds over
the Mersey and Irish Sea here at Formby
The crisp clear winter daylight that we can expect soon could be a good opportunity to try out your silhouette technique.
