Silhouette photo - how to make it

Silhouette is a photograph with main objects in total darkness with a bright background, so the visible thing is the shape of the main object. Photographing the silhouette is not as difficult as one might imagine, these are the steps and tricks.:
 1 Turn off Flashturn off the flash, otherwise you will get a normal picture (because its main object is not so dark). So turn off your camera flash 
2 the right lighting conditions (backlight)To produce a silhouette, your background should be brighter than the main object. That's why most of the silhouette images done during sunset or sunrise, where the sun (light source) is behind the object you want to photograph (backlighting). you just have to find a background that is lighter than the main object.Look for an object that looks interestingSilhouette image will greatly accentuate the form of the main object, therefore, look for objects with interesting shapes and has a strong character. 
3 Look for the appropriate backgroundTo get your silhouette should find a lighter background. Try also to get an interesting background, but also not crowded so that the main object looks very prominent. The sky and the beach is a favorite example. 
4 set the proper exposure (manual / auto)Whenever possible use the manual mode eskposur. Set metering in spot metering. Perform measurements in the background of the brightest. Change the combination of aperture and shutter speed according to the results of your metering, mainly on the aperture make sure you set your own (large aperture for background blur and a rather small aperture for sharp background). Once you determine the aperture and shutter speed is selected, point the camera to the main object. Arrange the best h3 and set focus on the main object, and then shot.If you can not use the manual mode, use the auto mode. Point the camera towards the brightest area, in the example above is to the sky above the fish finder, Click here half your shutter (do not push the full) and then hold the shutter is not released. Then point the camera to your main object and then snap.Try a combination of aperture and shutter speed are different if you fail at the first opportunity. Try also experimenting with objects and the environment, do not just stare at the sunset and sunrise, because the silhouette images can be produced anywhere.

Alhamdulillah.. May be useful.
