P52-3-22 Light: Backlight
Posted By: Rense, 12-24-2010, 04:17 AM

Light again! And more especially Backlight! I myself am drawn towards
backlit situations all the time, but the efforts of my backlight photography are... well...
at least somewhat disappointing.... So, I don't know your skills in this respect, but
this is the place to show them, or to improve!

Just some backgrounds and some ideas:
the art of backlighting
backlighting your subject
backlight photography tips
backlight art digital photography

Time Frame: pictures for week 22 are to be taken and posted between
20101225 and 20110102, so from December 25th, 2010 - January 2nd, 2011.

Rules:
1. Anyone and everyone who is interested in eligible. The goal continues to be
have fun and share comments, concepts, insights, and techniques with fellow
Pentaxians.
2. Each week will feature a Theme and Sub-concept for you to explore.
3. Post your single picture in Project 52-3 thread for the week. Explain what
motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly
theme.
4. Some post-processing is OK (adjusting white balance, exposure, color
saturation), but let's try to stay away from heavily PP'ed images here. Try to
keep the creativity to photographic techniques and the captures themselves.
5. Since this project is about technique, and not camera, shots taken by nonPentax
cameras are allowed. Cameras can be SLRs, DSLRs, Point & Shoot and Medium Format.
6. There is one “Theme Concept” labeled “black and white,” but feel free to post
black and white, sepia, monotone, etc., for any of the other themes.
7. The picture you post should be taken during the week in which the theme is
active to be eligible for judging.
8. Any picture taken from 20100731 to listed closing date is acceptable for the two
“Seasonal” competitions – Projects 52-3-51 & 52.

Additional Information, including the scheme with subjects: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/mini-challenges-games-photo-stories/10506...-year-3-a.html.

Have fun shooting!

See some nice entries here-but I'm concerned still not enough. You need to make my judging tough and arduous folks-bring your A Game!

I hope I have the time tomorrow, here is at least an encouragement entry (not shot in the timeframe).
It is totally out of focus and underexposed - folks, you can do better than that.
