Hi guys. I haven't been around much lately.
I got a few ideas for this one, so I though I'd start a thread.

I took this today. I'm not real sure if it's truly a silhouette, but I liked how it came out.

It's early. :D

    I agree that it may not be a true silhouette, but I also agree that its a very nice picture!

    Ok, a few of us went out for an evening shoot tonight. Swartzy, Grimace,
    Myself, and 5 others.

    We did the skyline of Minneapolis shots.
    I did get myself into a position to get this shot.
    No Swartzy, you can't enter yours. :D

    I should have spent more time and effort lining up this shot, but you know how
    photographers are, they're like little kids, "Are you done yet, are you done yet? mwink.gif

    Oh well, next time it will be better.

    I really like the skyline shot. It makes me smile! It also makes me wonder how you kept the photographers away from their cameras long enough to take it given the beautiful sunset. I can see that straightening it would probably mean losing too much of the right hand tripod setup. Maybe just go ahead and crop it out along with some of the black at the bottom? Whatever, it is a really good idea for the challenge.

    I like the 2nd shot as well, although I'm kinda left wanting to see more of the tripod legs. Great shot!

    Thanks folks.

    If I didn't have that darn railing in there, I think this would have been OK.

    It sounds like we're meeting up again Tuesday evening for another go at the skyline,
    maybe I can do a little bit better this time around.
