Photography silhouette- click chicks

Switching gears to photography today. Our challenge this week for click chicks was silhouettes.



I have to be honest as I always am, I had to google photography silhouettes. I wasn't totally sure what I was trying to achieve with this picture or how I was going to go about doing it. So I'll fill ya in. Basically you want to have a dark image infront of a light source. So if you want a silhouette of a person's profile you need them to stand in front of a light, a window, or the sun.

Tuesday after dinner I grabbed the hubby, the kiddo, and my camera and headed to the front yard hoping to get a silhouette of the kiddo's profile but thinking I could at least get a silhouette of the hubby. Neither were cooperating and the sun was setting behind the houses and trees so I took this picture of the palm tree in front of our house.


I love it! I didn't edit it at all. Didn't even crop.

Next week your challenge is to capture happiness.

What do we have to do to get people to link up with us? Maybe a head shaving contest. If we have three people link up I'll shave my head. Six and I'll shave Rachael's head ;)
