Silhouettes

[mackguyver]

While having 40 stops of DR someday might be great, one of the things I love about photograph is exploiting it's limitations, and I enjoy creating silhouettes. I didn't see a thread for it, so I thought I'd start one, and here are a handful to get it started:

Lovely colors. I especially like the first one. Well done Mackguyver.

Thanks for the nice comments, Click, and the first one is my favorite, too, especially with the little dragonfly near the palm. I don't know how it fell into focus at that instant, but I like it.

Great photos, mackguyver.

I'll post 3 of them, although there is nothing special on them. Just to make this thread alive.

Thanks climber, and I really like that first shot - the flames and people around the subject work very well together to frame the shot.

I've always liked this one, perhaps because I take so few sunset pictures.

Silhouettes are an example of a type of picture where the theory is easy but the implementation is harder. These were some pretty good silhouettes. Mine don't always turn out so well.

Enjoyed seeing the existing posts on this thread. This makes my feet want to get out on to the sand.

Here is a pic I snapped at sunrise in Capadocchia, Turkey. There were dozens of balloons in the air shortly after that pic.

Really like this thread. Many very nice pictures. TomD, as a westerner I love the cowboy. A couple of mine...don't know if the second one qualifies though.
