Stef Neyhart, my get pushed partner, challenged me to a 'backlit' portrait of a person or pet. I found it very difficult to get the lighting right. I was having technical difficulties with the tripod and my lens was fogging up. I might get a chance to do another, but just in case, here it is.
@randystreat Wow. Nice job on this. Yes, I think that it would be a hard one. I was going to work on that when Jackson was here but I didn't have him during the golden light time. I find it quite daunting. Well done!!!
I think backlighting is really hard - I have tried it a few times with our dogs but no real success. Think you have made a really good job here around Gene.
