SILHOUETTES: Weekend Photography Challenge
Image by Luza
This weekend your challenge is to take and share a Silhouette Image.
Silhouettes are something that scare a lot of photographers but they are relatively easy to achieve if you know how to go about it – and they’ll leave you with some results will WOW your friends. Here’s a tutorial on the topic to help you get started – How to Photograph Silhouettes in 8 Easy Steps.
Once you’ve taken your “SILHOUETTE” image, upload it to your favourite photo sharing site and either share a link to it below or embed it in the comments using the our new tool to do so.
If you tag your photo on Flickr, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag it as #DPSSILHOUETTES to help others find it. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
Looking forward to seeing your Sihouette Photos!
PS: Here are a few to get your creative juices flowing.

I saw this grandfather and his grandchild looking at this model of Iceland’s geography. After the great bankrupt the country is still in turmoil. Many think of the big debt the next generation will have to pay. I thought the shot would have a touch of irony like this…
Not good to smash that down…
Grandpa saying: “Here is the country – wish you the best…”
The boy placed his right hand just a few inches away from the Westman Islands. They do a lot of fishing there. Good for the economy

Thanks.

This is the photo I took yesterday afternoon while sitting in the dark waiting for a long-eared owl to come by… it didn’t, but I didn’t come back empty-handed.
Please comment if you wish (I’d like to learn…).

I wanted to do one of those retro 80′s feel images and towards the end decided to light up one of the flowers a bit. My lovely wife helped with the flower arrangements.
Forgot to take a setup shot for this one, so here is how it was done:
1 stop diffusion panel for the background lit from behind by a a 580EXII with a 1/4CTB gel (triggered with a cactus v4). The speedlite had the wide angle flipout on and was very low and angled up – giving the gradiation and the blueish background tint.
The top tulip is lit by a YN460 (also triggered by a cactus v4) with a massive grid spot on it that just illuminated a very small area which I initially had illuminating the flower from the inside but it looked TOO 80s, so I switched it to light from a different angle and feather onto the stem as well. The grid is about 15cm long with each cell having a roughly 5mm diameter, so it is about a 5 degree spot – way tight (I can light a single eye from 3m out).
Other kit details:
Canon 450D with battery grip
24-105 f4L @ 92mm
1/200th @ f4 @ 200iso

This was a long exposure shot

Hi,
This is the photo I took yesterday afternoon while sitting in the dark waiting for a long-eared owl to come by… it didn’t, but I didn’t come back empty-handed.
De DPS
Please comment if you wish (I’d like to learn…).
My second attempt, I assumed I could upload photos straight from my hard drive
March 2nd, 2010 at 6:24 am
I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade, as there are many wonderful silhouette images here, but so many of these are older photos not taken this weekend. I appreciate that this an opportunity for us all to share images that we are proud of , but the challenge was to take a photo this past weekend not find an old photo, taken on some weekend or weekday, sometime between birth and now. As a photographer looking to grow my skills I enjoy a challenge and the parameters given to it; that’s what makes it a challenge.
Anyways, there’s no need for me to ramble on here, but I encourage everyone to accept the challenge as it’s laid out. It’s one thing to be able to capture a moment by chance, it’s something completely different to be able to seek out and/or create the moment/effect you are looking for.
All that said, there are some truly stunning images above!
