Running shadows

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.

Says Cheri Lucas Rowlands. I thought of this image I took recently on the beach at Exmouth, and I quite like it.

  1. I really love silhouette images. It’s a wonder to me that I don’t often take it. I guess because good timing is much required. I just ran on the beach this morning. Me no like it. 🙂

  2. Nice take on this week’s theme: Silhouette. Reminds me of that progression from ape to man the evolutionists are always bandying about. 🙂

  3. I really enjoyed this and thought about each individual including the man looking back at his followers !

  4. Great composition Gilly and perfect silhouettes for the challenge. I love the way you can see each person in movement and the effort it takes to run on sand or shingle!
