Silhouettes and Shadows

Posted on May 9, 2021May 9, 2021 by camecamp

I have created some galleries devoted to specific subjects. Recently one of my favorites has been silhouettes. Several years ago I became interested in taking pictures of silhouetted figures on train platforms, in the street, and elsewhere. More recently I have been focused on silhouetted or backlit plants and flowers. The original gallery with a selection of my favorite silhouette photos is here.
