  So what do you have to offer for a silhouettes throwdown? It’s one of my favourite ways to shoot strangers…

  @the paparazzo …like that beach sunset …but what the heck is that structure in the water?
  
  @lisahill …that was a great capture…perfect reflection and silhouette …and those colours are just lovely. 🙂

  Thanks @mikell. It is the old West Pier on Brighton beach on the English south coast. It was shut in the 70’s and has gradually fallen in to the sea since then thanks for storms and fires. It makes for a pretty haunting sight!
  
  @lisahill Does it have to have people to make it a silhouette?!

  Definitely not @thepaparazzo. I was simply just referring to your comment that it was your favourite way to shoot strangers

  Nice David @dchester1001… Is that a sunset out of a window? Incredible colours if it is!
  
  This was at the beach the other week. It looks like a skate ramp but it’s actually a sculpture. No idea who it’s by, but looks like a hull of a boat.

  Terrific silhouettes, @thepaparazzo! That is one crazy pier! Love the colors @lisahill and @dchester1001! And the bird/boat reflection is sweet!

  I’ve just uploaded this for another thread, so why not show it here as well…
  
  Snapped yonks ago with my first ever bridge camera. Baboon Island in the Okavango Delta (Botswana). I used my sunglasses as filter at 6h00 on an ice cold winter’s morning. The result was the sun in a day photo looking like the moon in a night photo.

  Two lionesses at rest after one of them climbed high up into a tree and tried in vain to get a baboon to jump into the claws of the other lioness expectantly waiting under the tree. Taken with my bridge camera long before ownership of a DSLR was even a dream…

  Taken from across the Potomac River from Washington DC at sunrise.
  Used TPE to get the exact date for this shot. There are only 2 days out of the year to be able to get it like this. The cloud cover cooperated better than I could have ever expected.

  @camerasinger I love that style of bridge! Wish we had more of them over this side of the pond…
  
  This chap appeared just as I was leaving after taking people-less shots…

  maybe, @silverbells, it’s sort of like a negative of a silhouette…..

  @nzredracer @tersha A bit quiet on the throwdown front. Wandering around the streets lookin for inspiration.
  
  I made it grainy & not quite right looking (feeling) on purpose. It’s a “real” self portrait!!

  From Berlin earlier this year – it also works without the crane, but if you want ‘Berlin’ these last 10 years it’s got to have a crane in it!

  There are many wonderful silhouette photographs here! My contribution was taken in Corrientes, Argentina. There is a lovely parkway that runs along the Parana River on the edge of the city. My wife and I took a walk along it. There was a small carnival with kiddie rides and cotton candy stands. I bought her cotton candy, and she was eating it as the sun set.
