Silhouettes. OMG, I love them. I'm anxious to see what everyone comes up with.
The easiest way for me is to do them at sunset. Meter off the bright part of the sky instead of your subject. I'll dig up some old ones to get us started.
sigs off please.

Oooo, love silhouettes! That first one is GORGEOUS Treva!
Here's some old ones from a few weeks ago when DH and I went bowling, but I'm going to try for some new ones this week

A bowling silhouette! Now that's creative. I like it a bunch. The bride one is awesome too. TFS, Ladies. I'm going to try for some new ones this week too. I challenge everyone to to do the same! Also, feel free to share your old ones too.

This was taken just a couple weeks ago...first time trying anything like a silhouette...I really wished they were looking the other way or something different...something wierd is going on when I upload them (those lines in the sky are not in PSP or flickr the first time I view it) any ideas?

I'm so going to try and get out this week to try again!

Dawn, that's weird about the lines ? I like the farm scene, Michelle. Monica, that's a sweet one with the dog! Love seeing everyone's. Keep them coming!

Hmm, you know, I have never got a silhouette shot! I need to work on that later when I get home.

All the ones already posted are great!!!

VERY inspiring...Great theme Treva-it encouraged me out of my comfort zone, that's for sure...We had a riot last night too!

1. A calf (less than 1 week old) too bad about the tree branch..I tried cloning but then the sky looked funny


2. Tulips - one of my fav flowers!


3. Me and Eric down by the creek on my In laws property!

Those are all really beautiful! I wasn't able to get anything so spectacular this week, but I like this one of Marley on the slide for some reason.

Everyone's are great!

I haven't thought of doing this lately. So this is the best I have for now.
This was taken last March, I was still pg (obviously). It was with my p&s.

Now that I have more PS skills I might have to go through and try some editing on them. I had no clue what to do back then.

This is my first time trying the texture concept out.
