'SILHOUETTE SHOTS'.....

[BuckyD]

'Silhouette Shots'. . . . .

OK- Once again, it's 'audience participation time' for all the photographers out there...(Hey, remember how much fun we had with that- 'Nose Shots' thread awhile back?)

This time- let's try posting a few of your favorite silhouette photo selections fm your archive vaults...Certainly, everyone has taken a few of these during the course of their shooting career!

(*Photo Criteria*: primary photo subject should be in either- 'total'- or 'near-silhouetted' form.)

Let's see what you might have to share & here's three examples to get us started...

Cool picture, T.Adams, of how the canopy picks up its own colors like chrome, yellow at the bottom, pink in the middle and blue at the top and the contrast between the smooth lines of the canopy and the sharp angular lines of the body.

Has it been color altered by using filters/photoshop... or is that how it came out?

No filters, every shot I take is enhanced with Photoshop, RAW files straight out of the camera are always very flat.

Any chance you can post a before and after photo, at your leisure, so we can see the difference if any?

Re: 'SILHOUETTE SHOTS'.....

Yes, it may take a couple of days though, busy at work.

Re: 'SILHOUETTE SHOTS'.....

Nice to see four heavy-hitter air racing photogs step up to the plate & post some very excellent silhouette shots to help get this thread ball rollin' in the right direction. Way to go there, gentlemen!

Think we're just gettin' started though, so let's see some more aviation-related 'silhouette photo' gems fm some of you other shooters out there, OK?

Here's a couple more shots fm me to try to keep the big roundy warbird lovers happy- First, a head-on view of Bob Odegaard's F2G Super Corsair- Race #57-gettin' her big ole' P&W R-4360 corncob motor fired-up to go flyin'! (I swear I can still smell the smoke!), followed by a dramatic takeoff view of the Sanders Family's corncobbed-Hawker Super Sea Fury- Race #8-"Dreadnought"- seen silhouetted against a bold majestic sky.

Re: 'SILHOUETTE SHOTS'.....

I made the valiant effort to be on the ramp before sunrise this year. Unfortunately the subject matter was lacking that day but the company was great!

Re: 'SILHOUETTE SHOTS'.....

I shot those too, Ken! Great company, indeed!
