As you may have seen, the next photo challenge hosted by NickExposed and SeeingSpotsPhoto is Silhouettes. The challenge is to create (w/o photoshop) 3 images that consist of silhouettes.
Today’s photos came almost by accident; I saw some lighting to the south of where I was and looked at my weather app and found that the storm was just off shore, so I headed south to try and capture some lightning. However, by the time I found a good shooting spot, the storm had moved sufficiently such that none was visible anymore. Then I noticed the tree in the first image. And remembered the challenge for July. Then I moved further south to Avery Point, hoping still to see the storm, but to no avail. But I did end up with the second image as my compensation.
I can’t say that it’s a worthy trade, as I’ve wanted to shoot lightning for years, and have had no luck as of yet, but I am very happy with it as one of my submissions 🙂
18 mm, 30 sec, f/8.0, ISO 100 (Thames River Silhouette)
18 mm, 30 sec, f/7.1, ISO 100 (Silhouette and Light)
Awesome. Just awesome.
Thanks Dude! How’ve ya been?
Both are such beautiful and tranquil scenes. Nice job, Jeremy!
Thanks Gina!!
Lovely capture.. I specially like the star burst effect of the light in the second photo…
Thank you! Its from using a smallish aperture
Beautiful shots! Happy 200 días!!! 🙂
Thanks !! 🙂
Love that top one. 🙂
Thanks! Do you think it’s better than the second one? If so, why? (trying to learn 🙂 )
I like the composition more. The tree is one one of the lines of third and the sidewalk creates a nice curving line. I also like the lighting change from one side of the image to the other (light and warm tones on the right vs dark and blue tones on the left).
Thanks! I really appreciate that feedback! 🙂 It is an honor and a blessing to have you follow my blog and provide your tips and advice and feedback!!
Lovely shots. What is the bright light in the 2nd one? And Happy 200!
Thank you! It’s a street light, I think
Cool. It looks awesome!
Congrats on your 200th day!
Nice photos her Heremy, love the light in all of them; they are perfectly exposed.
Thanks Pablo!
