Silhouettes

The exercise for this weekend is to post two pictures in silhouettes.  I would expect that you would be taking a lot of pictures to capture two unique and interesting shots.  The following three shots were taken in the summer of 2008 in New York City.

This classic view of the Guggenheim became personalized when I caught my nephew looking up.  This is one way to achieve silhouette.  The outline is created by backlighting.

This shot was taken during the afternoon in Central Park.  The harsh light created this silhouette in a tunnel near Bethesda Fountain.

There was an interesting exhibit at the MOMA on lighting.  I was able to take some fun shots that day.
