iN PHOTOS: September silhouettes captured in Kamloops, Okanagan

September was filled with lingering sunsets in Kamloops and the Okanagan as summer faded, and some of that beauty has been caught on camera in the form of silhouettes. Silhouette photography focusses on creating striking black shapes against a bright, exposed background to create moods and emotion. Opposite to conventional photography, shooting silhouettes requires the light to shine from the back of the subject. The best time for capturing silhouettes is at sunrise and sunset when the soft warm light of the sky makes the shape of the subject stand out, according to Digital Photography School https://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-photograph-silhouettes/ . It’s possible to capture silhouettes during the middle of the day against a strong light. Flat landscapes and raised places like bridges and hills are the easiest places to snap silhouettes as the subjects can be framed by the sky, and whether the subject is a tree, flower or human the best silhouettes have easily recognizable shapes. A bit of movement can bring a unique layer of interest to silhouette photos, such a person doing a wheelie on a bicycle.
