silhouette 2 - Nyeri-Karatina

Hey. Hope things have started off well for you so far this year. I'm alive and dreaming: dreaming of course of owning a DSLR this year among many other great dreams. Any-who.. I start off this year by taking you back to work I did some times last year. Yes, I'm dragging you back but just a bit and to a nice place as well. This particular collection came by pure chance. 

My pals and I were coming from Nyeri when we got a tire bust just before Karatina town. No one got hurt and the driver and good pal Justin Karunguru (Justo), handled the car very well and we parked on the side of the road to change the tire. Now as we jumped out of the car I took one glance at the evening sun and decided to ask 2 of my other pals, whom we were in the car with, to pose as models so for a random silhouette shoot.

Believe it or not I shot these pics using my phone's camera (Samsung Galaxy Ace - S5830i) and then did a bit of post shooting enhancement. And before you start thinking that my phone has Canon 1D MARKIII attached, let me say that it's just an ordinary 5MP camera (Hence the grains on the pics). I used to really look down on phones' cameras but nowadays I'm a changed man. And by the way, speaking of phones' cameras, the image quality is nothing compared to the picture quality on the Samsung Galaxy SIII....Let me not start talking about the camera on an SIII coz if I start now on that subject, I assure you, I shall never finish.

So without going on and on let me present my latest collection of Silhouettes. I believe it's a build from my previous silhouette work. Thanks and Enjoy and as always leave me a comment....or if you really like what I do please buy me a Nikon D7000 and we'll be friends for life.

My pals and willing models, Wilson and his girlfriend Sly

By now I've made these two celebrities....say it with me. These are..... Wi....and Sl....

I also like this one coz of the golden reflection of the horizon. I've tried to cook up in my mind a story on how this is a silhouette but found it easier just to admit that it's not. It's not really a silhouette, just a classy Peugeot 504 staring into the sunrise...So I Just decide to throw it in there.
