Annie challenged me to try backlighting this week. Fundamentally I am a nature photographer who heavily relies on natural light. It was a challenge to find a day with some nice light, but this morning the trees and grasses were layered in frost and there was only a little wind. I shot this with the sun in front of me, and was thrilled with the frosty sunlit bokeh that showed up. Just remembered I did use 1 stop of exposure compensation to lift the shadows on the leaf, and I've quickly reset my camera so that it doesn't surprise me when I go out again.
Annie D @annied Finally! Some sunlight for some natural backlighting. Took me awhile to get something I thought would work. I've done silhouettes before, but I wanted to be able to see the subject this time. Thanks for the challenge!
