When I first went out to take silhouette photos, the settings were all off and my photos were either normal or too dark. I messed with the settings and eventually got some good settings and started taking better photos. This photo came off of mostly luck as I saw birds floating across the sky and I thought this would make a good photo. I was only able to take one but I thought this was a really good one. When editing, I changed the photo to black and white and made the photo more landscape. This was the best photo I took because of the rare scenario that occurred when I took this. The birds create shape in the photo and the black and white type of picture make this photo a cooler color. There is also some organic shape in the range of trees and the branching tree in the foreground.
This photo shows a contradiction with the setting and the subject. The penguins would be the subject, and the tropical mountains would be the setting. This is clearly not the penguins' natural habitat so it makes the photo more interesting to look at. Frans Lanting is a nature photographer and he is currently doing a study on the Emperor Family of penguins. He uses the rule of thirds by making the horizon Between the mountains and the large group of penguins. The area looks very tropical and it seems humid thanks to the fog in the background. This photo holds meaning with the problems of global warming and its effect on the arctic animals like penguins.
