Some recommendations for silhouettes
- Silhouette photography is all about getting your lighting right.
- It's easiest to capture silhouettes around sunrise and sunset when your biggest light source (the sun) is right around the horizon.
- Silhouettes do not have to have that absolutely 100% black part, you can show a little bit of a color gradient (like mine above), especially if it helps tell your story.
- Photos where your black part is more distinct (a tree with multiple sprawling branches instead of a poofy shrub) are going to come out better than if your black part is just kind of amorphous.
