Silhouetted
Quick shot I took the other day to capture this gorgeous sunset. Sometimes it's better to get rid of any distracting colors but to still keep detail. I also proves, that oversaturating is overrated.

A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

Nice work Thorsten. Not quite sure what you mean by your comments.
I like this, have you tried low level lighting, just gives a little detail. Brilliant sky.
Thanks Loretta! Yeah I tried a couple of things, but this worked best.
Over the past couple of year a friend and i have been trying to do light painting with unsatisfactory results. But there is a lite panel that goes to under 10 per% illumination with either blue or yellow wb that works very well. U cant see the panel lit at 2% so it is very subtle at long exposure.
Interesting idea, thanks! I got me an Aputure AL MX the other day, might experiment with that a bit.
I bought two lite panels the first didnt go down under 100% and was too much. I have also had tremendous luck with a "nurses" yellow penlight. Strange thing to use i know but it has a bulbous light at the end and gives great drop off
I like it a lot, but I'd love it if the branches on the left weren't getting cut off. I know. I know, it's a nitpick, haha.
Wonderful colours and a perfect example of how to use a silhouette
Thanks Jordan! I knew someone would bring up the cutoff on the left ;-) If push comes to shove I can just get the spot healing tool and remove anything that is too close to the edge.
