Self-Portrait Silhouettes

The theme of the project is self portraiture, and as I'm doing silhouettes, I took a few side portraits of myself as silhouettes.

I had the sun against me to cast the silhouette, and made it have an extremely quick shutter speed, to under-expose the sky behind me, to make it slightly darker, as the sun is so bright, to do this you need to lower the settings alot. Which makes anything in the foreground black, giving the silhouette.

These were just quick shots, but I will do this again, and make the exposure darker, as there is still some detail in me. The first one I added some contrast to on the computer to make it darker as it was too bright.
