#271: Silhouette
Posted By: mde1970, 01-08-2014, 02:11 PM

Firstly many thanks for hosting last weeks challenge sealonsf. Some real nice entries last week so it came as a bit of a surprise to be picked out

This week’s challenge is ‘Silhouette’ - Not sure if this has been a subject in recent weeks/months so apologise if it has. I don’t think people need any examples/explanation for this one but have posted what I think is the only Silhouette shot I have in my collection. Perhaps if I see a few other great shots it will spur me on to try and shoot a few more.











This challenge will run until Tuesday, 14 January, midnight PST.

The fine print:
1. Post one photo (max 1024 X 1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single photo in this thread. If it's not obvious, explain what motivated you to submit the photo and how you feel it represents the weekly theme.
4.The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5.The judge will pick the winner, who will then host and judge the next week's challenge.
6.The challenge closes after seven days.This allows a day for the judge to pick the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung) DSLR is acceptable.
8. Photos can be from any time frame, not just the week of the current challenge.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge of the next week's challenge, the winner will PM the #2 winner and pass on the baton to that person to host and judge the next week's challenge.

Boy, things sure do move fast around here. I've got to get back up to speed! Here's one of my favorite silhouettes–#2 son on the tire swing.

Took this on Christmas Day whilst on holiday. I was internally debating whether it was right to completely drop the shadows in the branches - now I see that it was, so I can enter this compo!

My Son

Had spent the afternoon out on my motorcycle with my K-r shooting. When I got home my son was sitting on my pick-up truck, working on his music. What a great shot .. Pentax K-r ~ Sigma 18-125mm

In deciding which one to offer, I had to really look hard at what had been posted and what I had in my arsenal. This one was shot at the local tourist trap here in Indiana, USA. My kids had won tickets through a summer program and so we took the whole family and had a wonderful day. Towards evening, we took the paddle boat ride out on the lake and this is one of the shots I got on the way back. This is the gondola Ferris wheel that towers above the rest of the rides at the park.

A quick photo shoot on the beach. Kinda like the way this turned out without a flash.
