Weekly Photoshots #11

[colelover178]

Well I dont know if this is good or not its not really a challenge but its something since lensbaby said if anyone had any ideas go for it so i am.

Silhouettes
I absolutely love silhoette shots Im not the best at them just yet but it would be fun to see what you guys come up with.
I will try to make it a little harder by giving a rule, It has to be of people or anything living no inanimate objects. It CAN be TREES They are technically living!

Hope you have fun!!!

[LensBaby]

Ok here is mine. (I took this a while ago.) This is my daughter standing on a brick wall. I just do not like the airplane going through her body. I didn't want to do any photoshop to it though. I thought it was cool.(I know I didn't use the proper rule of thirds, but I liked the way that this was composed for this particular photo.

[colelover178]

i like it its cool!!! I made the topic and i dont even have any lol i have some silhouettes but all inanimate objects lol my kids dont like to cooperate lol

[colelover178]

I have some of trees for now Im gonna try to get some of my kids later though. Remember trees are living so you can use them.

See the difference changing the color can make in PP which color do you like better?? That is a helecopter between the trees by the way. :)

Ok here is my contribution this week.
The coloured and the B&W version of sunrise at home.

[colelover178]

That is beautiful Ingrid I like the color shot better but both are amazing Great Job!!!

[laura]

Wow Ingrid, they are fantastic. i wish I had a view of a sunrise like that.

[LensBaby]

Stunning....I wish I had that view!! great job!

[perfectoarts]

Jackiee I like your third photograph. It reminds me of running through the willows on cold misty mornings. Lovely.

Re our sunrise, yes it is lovely to see the mountains, but the valley is being destroyed with too many residential areas and all the sugarcane fields are disappearing. Luckily we are on 3 acres and totally secluded. The world can pass us by.

Here is my shot. It was taken at the very top of Australia, Mt Kosciusko, on Jan 1 20008.

[colelover178]

I love both the last shots they are awesome although when you open them big you can still see a little detail in the figures try increasing your contrast in post processing if possible but either way they are still beautiful just thought i would give you a hit :)

lol thanks! I like when the topics change every week. I still have to post my summer photo! With all of my course work from school, I have not had a free moment to myself. Only a quick one to pop in here on and off. I am finished Aug 6th and do not have to go back until September 4th! I will have a few weeks to mess around with stuff.

Lol...thanks. I made the mistake of feeding them peanuts over the summer and he had a nut in his mouth until I scared him and he ran across the phone wire.

Sorry I have been away for so long. Somehow life just was out of control. Had surgery and needed 2 month recovery. But I am back :)
Not sure if this will be ok for the silhouette photo, but that is all I have right at the moment.

Ingrid - we missed you while you were away! I hope all is well with you now, and that you have recovered fully.

Nice shot and nice to have you back with us Ingrid.

I don't know if I have done this right (as I am new to this) but here it is, I took this last week.

yep, you did a great job attaching the thumbnail. Nice photo. I really love the look of knarled trees and it's like the sun is sitting on the branches. :)

[acb238]

This is a shot I took after the I noticed the gold lining around the subject. I then altered the temperature and brightness to enhance the outline.

[ladyups]

These are some great silhouettes. I really like the one of the pregnant gal and the squirrel in front of the moon. Great job, everyone!

[andromeda143]

Congratulations to everyone for the great shots! The lady-in-waiting reminds me of the Demi Moore mag cover a few years ago. :)

Here is a modest contribution from me. Of course comments, advice etc welcome.

[ladyups]

Beautiful, Clive!
