Burning The Midnight Oil

This was taken at my University in Tennessee. This girl was studying late into the night, and of course I was out goofing off. She didn’t mind me running to get my camera and she totally ignored me as i experimented with setting and such to get this silhouette.

I think there’s a little shake but i still like the end effect.

    I love how the shadows create a negative space that forms (in my sick mind) a one eyed golden robot!!!!!!

    what a frame for that gorgeous orange glow (personally i think the shake adds to the overall image) x

    Thanks… i go back and forth on the shake, but i guess overall i really like it.

    I’m with you on the shake; not sure about it. ou could sharpen in PS & have both versions & decide from that. Nice silhouette effect & composition w/ the framing- you lined that up perfect.
