38 - Silhouette

Theme 313.

Photobucket

As I was walking to Victoria coach station to get my coach home, I saw this shot. The afternoon sunight turned everything golden, and all day, I'd experimented with shots like this - of people's feet or legs creating shadows and silhouettes - the types of photos I've seen on the Reuters daily photo slideshows, and which I thought I'd try and emulate.

This was one of my favourites of the day, just the golden light and black legs with their shadows. It makes me happy :-)

:passout: Oh, I just love this! What a great idea.

I'm gonna try to get some of my pics posted soon because I've discovered some secret settings on my camera. 5 years later and I finally know how to operate the stupid thing the way it was designed. It's helping my photog skills, thanks to your 366!

I adore your site! Just love the whole picture themed layout. I am so new at this, and really have no idea what my signature style will be. Would love to join the 366 în a year, but i think I am too late now!

What a wonderful image, Helen! It's just perfect. I wish I could think of such creative things to do. You have "the eye"!

I saw this quickly the other day and it really caught my eye! The warm, golden tones are beautifully contrasted with the dark silhouettes of the people...and everyone is captured in such interesting positions. Love!

This is kind of making me wish I had committed to 366!
