Silhouette Mission Accomplished

Following the advice of friend Nick, Sue and I went down to the park at golden hour, hoping for silhouettes in the backlight.

However, for the most part, we just managed golden light, and there's nothing wrong with that.


At this resolution, I am not sure if you can see the cloud of insects behind the ladies.

How sweet!

This lady and her dog both clocked me taking their picture. Bad AC.


Eventually, I did catch a young fisherman in the right spot for silhouettes, which was mostly really me getting to the right spot. I just just had to line up with the sun better.



Mission accomplished.

    All of your shots tell a story.
    The backlighting is fantastic.
    The silhouettes in the last shots are stunning.

    Well done.

  4. Congrats of achievement evening! I rather like the first gorgeous evergreen...though I guess it's a bit boring compared to the young fisherman.

  6. Beautiful pictures! I find I am often gravitated towards similar shots in the evening, especially with water in the foreground.

  12. These remind of Kacey Musgrave's fantastic album, Golden Hour and one of my favourites from that record: Oh What a World.
