Photography Challenge - Silhouettes

[Tim Mayo]

A big thanks to everyone who joined in with the abstract photography challenge last month, especially @WeeMalky who really got into it!

So for this month I thought we could see how people get on with a silhouettes challenge.

If you would like some tips on creating silhouettes then this article will point you in the right direction:

For some further inspiration take a look here on Flickr:

This is not a competition so there will be no winners announced, it's purely for fun and self-development.

Simple Rules:

• Sony cameras only please
• Post as many times as you would like

Have fun!
