Iron ornament in silhouette

I chose this item to photograph because I wanted to see how it looked in silhouette with the light passing through it. Some objects were selected because of their clean outlines and some, like this ornament, were chosen because they would not produce a sold outline.

Silhouettes

In the case of this series of shadow pictures it was a race against time. Intense natural light like this fades fast, especially in the winter. I had to quickly grab items that I thought would have a pleasing silhouette and shoot them quickly. I was sad when nature put an end to the photo shoot.

Often opportunities to capture something interesting are fleeting. Act fast!
