Next in our ‘Understanding Light’ month is Silhouettes. A silhouette is formed when your subject is in front of your light source …. so backlighting with any subject!

Allows Edits? YesElephant Silhouette.
Delving into the archives and a treasured memory. One of my first wildlife photos I took nearly ten years ago, 3 July 2010 with a canon bridge camera. In August 2010 hubby bought me my DSLR camera with kit lenses and this is how my photographic journey started.

I have enjoyed watching part of that journey, Charmaine! You are an amazing photographer.

A really wonderful shot, Charmaine.
Like Joseph, I was in Africa before too, a couple of times. But I was a young, dumb sailor on a carrier and, like most young, dumb sailors, was more interested in acting like a sterotypical sailor than much else. Wish I could get that time back and the many wasted port visits.

I really like this Dave. Great focus throughout the image and perfect placement of the person. I also really love the contrast between the rocks and the frothy white water. I can feel the movement of the water and hear the ocean. Super!

All Leanne said above Dave, a great photograph.

Way to freeze time Dave! I could see this photo hanging in someone’s beach house

I really like the soft haziness of this image as well as how you positioned the boat within this frame. Great job!

A very nice shot, Graham. Well composed and executed.

Interesting image Graham. The sky is surreal looking.
-
-
Lovely image Graham. The person and dog look like perfect holes in the picture
-
-
Graham, very well composed. You have several elements in here from a silhouette to leading lines. I really like how the interesting features in the sand draw you to the silhouette and the ocean. Great story!

I love this Graham! The rock formation is a bonus!

Hi Tobie and thanks. They’re actually huge sand bags. I’m not sure but I think they might be to help prevent sand erosion along the coast. It’s been an ongoing problem here in Adelaide for many years. Lately they’ve been taking sand from the southern end of the coast and trucking it up to the northern beach areas only to have it wash back down south again. These sand bags are the remnants of an earlier era I think.
-
Aaaah, very interesting! It certainly seems to be working as the bag-area is much higher than the surrounding beach.
I once saw huge ships in Durban pumping sand (gathered from the sea bed) onto the beach via pipes probably 24″ or more in circumference and about 1km long. It was quite something to see as the sand came flying in a stream which traveled about 50′ through the air before it hit the beach.

Leanne. You travel around some. I’m partial to sunsets, but you have great photos.

Sunset at the end of a very overcast day. Puffs of mist were lit up rather like a fire or mini volcano spouting from the rim of the mountain. -

Holly, I love how you caught the ripples in the water dividing the birds up from each other. The water ripples also looks cool as a silhouette. It looks so serene.

Went through some oldies and found this Pileated woodpecker shot…
-
Kris, nice shot of the woodpecker. The blue background really helps the bird stand out.
-

Holly, I really like the sunburst coming through the trees and turning the trees into a silhouette but keeping everything else in color.

This is a hastily taken photo when I was first started using my camera. I noticed the dramatic sky in my rearview mirror and pulled to the side of the road. I was lucky to capture a T6 Texan aircraft.
