This was my first time shooting with my trippod in this light. Please provide feedback

Thanks!

They look pretty well exposed to me. I don't know exactly what your settings were, but you might try a slightly longer shutter speed to bring out the color in the sky a bit more. I was playing with something similar just the other night myself.

i think both shots are great. i never seem to have my camera ready for these things...always thinking - oh that would be a great shot.....! well done. good silo's!

Ah the beauty of using a tripod. I promise myself constantly to become good friends with mine.
Yes I think both your photographs are great. The silhouettes make this quite dramatic and appealing. Perhaps a tone or two lighter would have been interesting to see. Thank you for posting. Keep on snapping

Silhouette shots are beautiful. You do not have to really go out and try again. With a little post processing, you can increase the exposure, saturation and vibrancy a little and get some minor improvements.

Now, what I would try differently to make your top pic a little more unique (because I have the equipment), is that I would place strobes with green gels over them, on lightstands and hit only the tops of the trees (the green areas) with a TOUCH of light from 3-4 angles so that the green would be coming out a little in the pics... but that's me.

I think you did a nice job in both pictures, especially since this is your first time!

Lisa - I would also bracket this shot and try HDR. Good job on the silouhette.
