Are we talking silhouettes? or the soft "halo" effect around the perimeter of the subject from the soft golden hour lighting from behind said subject?Message edited by author 2007-03-28 00:32:36.

I'll do some more "research" tomorrow (headed to bed, right now), but how is this different from backlighting?

No, my understanding is it is more like that light low contrast glow look for instance when the sun is just out of the frame. Or the early morning light from a windown softly illuminating a still life. Make sense?

I would venture a guess as YES...back lighting and Silhouettes

This challenge will surely include many silhouettes, but don't let this limit you to only that. You are shooting into the *main* light source. Other lightsources may be used as well to reflect upon or illuminate the front of the subject as well.Message edited by author 2007-03-28 00:24:54.

Oh, man, I'm excited! I do way too much of this, which isn't always how to use light. ;-)

Contre-jour . It works well for me, without all the nudes.

Guessing these are examples, as all were shot facing the sun which was the primary light source.

I get this effect by accident practically every time I go out shooting. But my hunch is creating it on purpose will be a challenge. However, I am going to take my alien bees and power pack out into the darkness and see what I can muster up.
