A quick tip this morning about shooting silhouettes. You need to have a very definitive shape to your subject so that viewers aren't left guessing what they're looking at. In this image of a fellow photographer shooting, I had her turn to her left so that I could capture her profile and the strong shape of the camera. Also notice that her feet are slightly apart giving the legs some separation. If her feet were together, the legs would look like a dark, muddy rectangle. Now I know you can't always pose your subject, but I had seen this exact look a few moments before but my camera wasn't ready. *sad trombone* Fortunately I knew the subject and was able to recreate it.
Have a great day!

Happy Monday to you all. It was a cold and rainy weekend here and I got to spend some warm and cozy time with my family. I hope everyone's was likewise pleasant. Have a great week!
This was taken at an island monastery in the middle of Lake Tana, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. This guy loved having his picture taken! I spent several minutes with him, posing, chatting and talking photography. A lovely, gentle man.

Since I didn't post yesterday, I thought I'd post two images today. Two for the price of...well, two.
