[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 189429, member: 12257"] So long as you've got a very bright background, like the sun reflecting on the water, use a matrix meter while still keeping your desired subject as the point of focus. A silhouette will make itself with a bright background like that! Here's a few samples I posted in my 365 thread, silhouettes taken on the river at sunset. Structures, people, horizon, all in silhouette and taken as a rookie with a D3100 with the kit 18-55 lens.
