Silhouettes
A Silhouette is where a picture is taken at sunset or sunrise. The picture will have a dark surrounding area with a light in the middle. This creates depth with the dark colours and is a very good use of contrast. A silhouette can be taken many ways as long as their is a dark figure with any sort of lighter colours surrounding.
Example 1
Taken on the Murray River, this example of silhouette reflects in to the water as well. As the sun is just setting it forms a dark shadow over the trees reflecting on to the glassy water creating a silhouette and a reflection of it.
Example 2
In this example of a silhouette the sun is just setting over the horizon making everything low to the ground dark. Essentially this is forming a silhouette of a person with their arms up.
