Silhouette Photography Slide Show

Silhouettes are very intriguing pictures. The viewer is drawn into the picture because of the mystery of not being able to see the fine details in the shadows of the picture. Still the viewer is able to make out enough of the picture that he or she can walk away from the picture with an understanding of what the picture is about. Silhouettes also bring a certain mood to a picture that cannot be found in any other type of shot. I myself do not have very much experience with taking silhouette shots, but I think they are some of the coolest shots.

The following are pictures I have collected from Stock.xchng that are good examples of silhouette pictures.



Here is a link to a blog with helpful tips for composing silhouette shots.

Silhouette Photography "Reaching Forth"

This picture is a great silhouette shot. It's also a good example of how a picture can be used to tell a story. The moment I saw it Philippians 3:12-14 came to mind.

"Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
(Philippians 3:12-14)
