Trying out a Silhouette

Pioneer Woman gives some excellent tips for capturing and editing these types of shots. Go read it, it really isn't too hard. You can even do it with a regular point and shoot camera. After you get the right circumstances, sun setting or rising and people positioned, push your shutter button halfway down while aiming at the brightest spot of sunlight near your objects(this will make the camera measure the exposure of the sunlight rather than your subject), then move your camera to the shot you want and finish pushing the shutter button. Poof, you have a silhouette! Just put it into photoshop for that extra umph! Have fun and if you try it let me know how it goes.
