How do I take a picture of a sillouwet (dunno how 2 spel) with a digital SLR camera?

Specifically I have an Olympus E-500 Evolt if the model counts for anything.

Have the subject of the photo stand behind a flat curtain. Shine a bright light on your subject on the other side of the curtain. Experiment with different shutter speed and aperature settings, one that is long enough to work without a flash will probably work the best.

You could use spell check or download dictionary.com to use as a spellchecker .Your miss multi personality so maybe one of those other personalities should come out when you spell

To get a silhouette, you need to photograph your subject against the light.
If your subject has a bright light source behind them, it will create an under-exposed picture (shadow).

If the light source is behind you and shining on the subject, you will get a correctly exposed subject.

easy just make sure ur background lighting is brighter than ur subject matter. for example, u r shooting a picture if ur friend next to a window and the outside condition is sunny, oh ya don use flash.

do it at sunset. when the sun is setting it will make objects in the forfront look dark with light cast behind providing a silhouette.

Subject in front of bright background. (Sunset, window, etc etc) Expose for the background. Instant silhouette.

Why do so many people find it so hard to click on "check spelling"?

Why do so many people not know the difference between "your" and "you're"?
