Photographer of the Week: Lee Cullivan

Monthly contest

November contest theme: Silhouettes
Silhouettes can convey so much emotion, drama, mood, mystery ... or even humor. But it's a challenging theme because
a) your subject will have to be in front of a light source, and
b) you'll have to set your camera's exposure for the light source, not your subject, so that your subject is underexposed. An ice-climbing class for beginners at the North End of Cathedral Ledge in North Conway, N.H. (Globe Staff Photo / Essdras M Suarez)
