Challenge 42 - "Backlit Images" hosted by David Williams (Drummer)


Backlit Images




The subject of this challenge is Backlit Images.

Light hits objects from the front, from the side, from the back, and to any degree in between. Your challenge from the cameras point of view is to capture an image where the light is coming from behind the subject. Subjects may be a tree at sunrise, a child’s face in front of a window, or a flower macro to name a few. Subjects for this challenge are only limited by your imagination.

Sources of backlighting can be natural sunlight, moonlight, or any light of your choosing. Backlit subjects in this challenge are not to be silhouettes where a photographic image is seen as a solid black object against a lighter background. That would be a separate challenge. Though some parts of your image may have dark or black areas, your main subject(s) should have a degree of detail. Fill flash may be in order for some situations. That is up to you.

Backlit subjects can create interesting effects and beautiful results otherwise unseen. So go out and see what you can create with the technique of using backlighting. Most of all have some fun with it and good luck!
