Not quite a silhouette, so I didn't post for my get-pushed challenge. I think there was a fire somewhere nearby because the air was hazy and smelled smoky. When I first passed this the sun was behind the buildings and the buildings were silhouetted. I ran home, got my camera but had to make another stop first. So...the light changed. Anyway it's b&w and it has architecture in it too.
I really like the hazy quality and the entire composition of this one through the Bushes in the foreground. Nice shapes and although it’s not a sharp silhouette, I think it’s still a great silhouette. FAV
@kjarn Thank you Kathy. I thought they would look good in b&w. I should have experimented with more settings, but on my way from one place to another. @cdcook48 So right Chris. I had my phone, but didn't think it would be able to cover the distance from where I was to where these buildings were and result in a decent photo. @onewing I'm not sure where the fire was, but I believe it was a controlled burn in the next county. The Forest Service does these periodically. No residual of smoke or smell today. @mcsiegle Yes it can be frustrating. That's why I used to keep my "real" camera in the car with me anytime I went out. But the temperatures really aren't good for that a lot of the time. Plus I don't have a good way to camouflage the camera either. Oh well. Make do with what I have when I have it. @jamibann thanks Issi. @dkbarnett You are so right. @casablanca Here's a link for info about the school: https://ncsd.net They're not using all the buildings now the way they did in the past, I guess because they mainstream many of the youth in public schools where they live. They've repurposed some of the buildings in to the NC School of Science and Math. Just in case you're interested: https://www.ncssm.edu @wakelys I agree Sue. We don't really get a lot of fog in the daytime, so will be satisfied with smoke I guess. (I usually don't get out when it's foggy in the early morning or evening.) @pusspup Thank you Wylie. Buildings and mountains in the distance behind. @corinnec Thank you Corinne. @grammyn Thanks for the specific feedback in your comments Katy. @craftymeg Thanks Meg. @rensala Thank you Renee. Appreciate the feedback. @will_wooderson Atmospheric indeed. 😊 Thanks Will. @shutterbug49 Thank you Debbie.
