A lone fisherman made a picturesque scene as he is silhouetted by the setting sun on a quite Saturday afternoon at Kakaako Waterfront Park. (Kent Nishimura/The Photo Bistro)
Silhouettes are always fun to make. The dictionary defines “silhouette” as an “image in which only the outline shape of a dark subject appears against a lighter background.” This word came from Etienne de Silhouette, the Minister of Finance in France way back in 1759. He cut out portraits of people from black paper and pasted them on light-colored backgrounds. Here, at Kakaako Waterfront Park, this fisherman was silouetted by the setting sun. You can see the light slightly washing over him.
Usually, the bright sky serves as the background for silhouette shots (as in the two pictures above). You can also use water backgrounds, shaded subjects against atmospheric backgrounds like haze, fog and smoke, and sunlit backgrounds (as in the picture above demonstrates.)
An mtv icon known as Janet Jackson is back on top of the billboard charts with her new album “Discipline” at number 1, selling 181,000 copies in it’s first week of sales. Discipline is her 9th studio album to date and seems to be bringing Janet back up to icon status with the hit single “Feedback”. The entire album has crunky beats and slow groove melodies to change the moods on a futuristic journey. Janet definitely scored a lot of funky tracks on this album, which makes it feel like she’s still got the magic. We all know Janet is no stranger to singing about love and sex, but this time she has all of that plus more dance tracks that will have you listening to it on repeat. Some other tracks to listen for on this album are: Luv, What’s Ur Name, 2nite, and So Much Betta
