The Daily Post asks us to photograph objects in silhouette:
Photography is all about experimenting with light, and then positioning yourself (or your subject) in the right spot to achieve a certain effect. One such effect is a silhouette, in which an outline of someone or something appears dark against a lighter background. Silhouettes can be very dramatic and resemble black shapes without any details, but the effect varies from picture to picture.

And I can’t resist this one, taken in Palm Desert, last winter.

It’s a Lumix FZ35. Pretty basic. David got it for me for Christmas a couple of years ago then kind of took it over. :0) I’m just starting to play with it. Have yet to really read the manual and understand all the features. My artist’s eye has a sense for composition but I need to figure out the settings etc. Of course, my biggest enemy is TIME.
