Pigeon on a Branch Silhouette

We end our series of unusual images of shooting against the light creating traditional silhouettes or a combination of black foregrounds and colorful backgrounds. Here is a normal black silhouette – an image of a person, animal, bird, object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single color, usually black.

Silhouettes – Church at Sunset

In photography, a silhouette is defined as an outline that appears dark against a light background. More specifically, it is where your subject is seen as a black shape without detail against a brighter background.

Will be posting this week images with silhouettes. Here is a church silhouette against a vivid sunset sky.
