Shooting Silhouettes
While Rick speeds his way across Idaho and Montana, I thought I’d share a great little tutorial I recently found: How to Photograph Silhouettes in 8 easy Steps.
I personally have lots of silhouettes in my photo library—sadly, most of them are the unintentional result of incorrect metering or forgetting to turn on my flash when the subject was backlit. But when done with a little forethought, silhouetted shots can make a strong statement. The trick is learning how to outthink your camera’s natural imperative to properly expose the subject. In this eight-step tutorial, Darren Rowse goes over the basics of setting up the shot and getting the right camera settings. I hope you find it inspiring!
