I love the first and third photos!  Did you do much post-processing? I really want to know how you got the silhouttes (spelling?) to be so black.
Edit: I really really like that first pic.  |
I processed the RAW file but on this occasion metering off the bright area of the sky and reading the histograms on the camera on location allowed me to get the correct exposure. With there being such a large contrast between the sky and foreground the silhouettes are almost guaranteed to be black.
If you have a similar shot but your silhouettes are not black there is an easy way in Photoshop to achieve this, just open levels or curves and select the black eye dropper from within the box, then click it on your chosen black area and it will adjust all levels so that your chosen point is absolute black and everything else will be matched and scaled too.
