FINE-TUNE YOUR SHOT IN RAW

Even if you get your camera settings as spot-on as possible for the conditions, many silhouette shots will still be improved by a tweak in raw software. In a raw converter, you can adjust the Highlights, Shadows, Blacks and Whites in a shot, so you can suppress detail in the subject (Shadows and Blacks), and brighten up the background (Highlights and Whites) to make the silhouette stand proud of the backdrop.
