Silhouette







Silhouettes have always been pretty interesting to shoot. Here's some tips to shoot for yourself..
1. Choose a strong subject. Choose something with a strong and recognizable shape which stands out in the picure.
2. My usual mantra : Avoid Flash. Don't use it!
3. Composition: Picture composition is something you need to keep in your mind. The rule of thirds, or maybe you could also use some odd angles which are unusual but seemingly appropriate for the picture. Creativity is the key.
4. Manual Mode: Meter off your subjects with the auto mode and see what shutter speed and aperture your DSLR suggests. Then you can switch this on manual mode and try out to your hearts content until and unless u get the shot right. This would also help you get an over all idea about exposure and shutter speed in a similar environment...
