Silhouette shots – HELP!

[Maelyn]

These are my first attempts at Sihouettes. I took these with a Nikon D70 at the airport on Friday… and I’m at a loss with what to do with them.

I like the concept but they are a little blurry around the face. Are they fixable?

Not sure if I chose the right camera settings either. I used auto focus and ISO 400. Can't for the life of me remember f-stop. Knew I should have taken the time to dig out my notebook :dunno


I’m not sure how to crop them either? Suggestions anyone?



Help please.

Maelyn - can you re post these with "large" versions and stack them so we can get a better view?

I have them in 3008 x 2000 max size jpg straight from the camera. All my playing has been done on a tiff.

Thanks

MaelynI see you've linked these from your cox.net site... I'm not familiar with how to do that but if you check your photo properties you'll see they are 288 x 433 pixels. dGrin allows you to post images up to 800 pixels on the longest side.

someone with more technical knowledge, like Lynnma, could provide better advice than I.

[Maelyn]

I'll try pulling them down to 800 pixels on the all side and see if that works. Thanks

Here is the second one.

It looks like you were focused on the window instead of the subject.

I would also recommend knocking the exposure bias down a few clicks.
