Default First try at silhouette

For long, haven't been able to take many pictures... However, tempted to share some pictures with you, I learnt what silhouette meant and tried it today (plus it was getting dark when I reached back home!).

I look forward to your comments.

Thanks for watching...

Sincerely wish I lived at a place that had lesser overhead wires

This is just another random try...

Thanks for sharing your photos! That last pearl one is just gorgeous!


I'm guessing if you're interested in post-processing out those wires you can get a lot of help here. I haven't really done much yet, but there are some post-processing experts around.

Nice work on the silhouettes.

The pearls take the prize though - outstanding!

Your silhouettes are nice, but the pearls are absolutely stunning. I love the reflection and the monochromatic golden tones. Great work!

The first and last are excellent I like the strong lines of the building in the second but the first and last are really good images well done

Hi ABY!

Didn't have to do much to get the reflection. Placed the pearls' necklace on our dark colored glass dining-table, and that's all. No post processing.

Thanks!

Thanks for your suggestion!

I have lately started to strongly realize the importance of post-processing, and I must start to learn Honestly, haven't done any PP on any of my pictures yet (certainly not proud of it). Now, I have a target! Thanks.
