Making it a hat-trick of wins for 2014, Karen Fleming took first place in Grade A in the recent 'Silhouette' competition. Here's how she did it:
"When we first heard of the title for the competition I thought to myself, what am I going to come up with for Silhouette? I took to trawling the internet for some inspiration and then decided to do a shot using studio lighting."
"The shot I took was a very simple studio setup. My niece is Vietnamese so I asked her to wear one of her traditional outfits. I used one of the paper umbrellas which was beautifully decorated and placed her in front of a blue wall and put a studio light with a snoot attached behind her and pointing toward the wall. I did a little post production afterwards to bring up the exposure of the umbrella a little bit."
Canon 5d, 24-105mm lens at 65mm. ISO 100, F4, 1/125.
Well done Karen.
