Silhouettes not only capture definite outlines, edges and angles of a subject, but they offer a bit of mystery, too. That’s what I like so much about them. I also like silhouettes because they seem a bit more forgiving when you’re taking a photo. The above photo of the boat I took after a stunning sunset in Kalbarri, Western Australia.

Bali, Indonesia. It’s impossible not to take a good photo of Tanah Lot, one of the sacred Hindu temples on Bali.

Bend, Oregon. A standup paddle boarder moved right into this shot. I didn’t even notice him coming.

Brighton Beach, Victoria, Australia. This little guy was definitely exploring. Fearless, he reminded me of my son Eddie.

Wayzata, Minnesota. Water — even when it’s frozen — offers some of the best settings for silhouettes.

Visegrád, Hungary. Because of the grainy quality, this photo looks like a cardboard cutout or a painting. But, ultimately, you can’t go wrong with a castle at dusk.

Beautiful pictures Steph! Silhouettes do add a touch of drama to a picture. The sixth one from top is my favourite:) It reveals little about the place but does enough to make me think and imagine about it! Loved it:)
Thank you so much, Uday! I’m psyched you like the photos since I definitely admire your blog and photos. So glad you were able to let your imagination go. Thanks again for the kind words! Cheers — Steph
I really love how you portrayed the theme! Bravo
Thank you so much! I’m fairly certain I saw the theme of silhouettes earlier on WordPress. I’ve always loved silhouettes with their distinct outlines but lack of detail. Again, thanks for the comment. Cheers!
Maybe but yours is certainly very beautiful!
Absolutely love the pics – stunning!
The song is the Vietnamese currency isn’t it? Might be like calling a restaurant ‘a pound’? Bit random but original lol…mind you…a pound could mean multiple things…but then so could a dong. Regardless, love this 🙂 x
Yes! I just checked and you are right — thanks for that. Also, another fellow blogger has let me know that Dong means “Asian” as well. So either way, I guess it’s a pretty generic not as racy name for a restaurant. Funny how the connotation changes so much in English. Thanks so much for the information and the comment! Cheers.
Might help if autocorrect didn’t change dong to song 🙂
🙂
Really fantastic shots!
Thank you!
You have to know I love these, right?? So amazing 😀
I’m not worthy…I’m not worthy…if I ever even come close to taking photos like yours….Thanks for the compliment, my dear friend 🙂
You are SO worthy! And remember, I only show the good shots I got … oh, if you could see some of the crap ones LOL
wow…very nice shots dear….I love sunrise and sunsets…something very close to my heart in nature 🙂
Thanks for the kind words, Kavita! I hear you about sunrises and sunsets. They are very special. Cheers!
your welcome…I know they are just mesmerizing and not sure whats about them but always amazes us
Lovely shots, Steph. The Balinese temples have such a distinctive silhouette to them.
Thanks, Tricia! I absolutely love the silhouettes of the temples in Bali — especially with the ocean in the background. Thanks for the comment.
