Silhouettes: An essay in photos


This slideshow requires JavaScript.

I was feeling a little inspired by my post of a few days ago- Silhouettes on the water, and thought I would post some of the silhouettes I’ve photographed over the ages. And if any of you would like to post a link to your favorite silhouettes that you have taken, feel free to do so in the comment section below. Happy shooting,

Galen

PS if there are particular images that people like, I can go over their creation in a future post

Anything can become a silhouette in the right light, even a cattle chute

Silhouettes are not limited to nearby objects

    The third one is truly amazing. You must have some phenomenal fogs there.

    • We definitely get some good fogs out here. We get so many varieties and types, that I often feel we should be like the laplanders and snow, that have twenty or thirty words for it, each for a different type. And I must say, fog can help make for some great silhouettes, although it is by no means necessary
