Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Backlighting (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Nikon D100
Location: Above my Jeep
Date: Sep 6, 2004
Aperture: f/3.5
ISO: 6
Galleries: Transportation
Date Uploaded: Sep 6, 2004

 Put a 500W flood light facing up underneath my Jeep. Climbed up and took a few shots. The climb was not too fun since the Jeep is jacked up and I was standing about 50" above the ground. It was night so had to drop the ISO to 6 to get enough light for the components to show up.

Edit only include cropping my knee out of the picture.

Too dim. Just because something's backlit doesn't mean you don't want to have any light in the front. Not very interesting composition either.

The middle section is a little to dark for my taste, but this is a very interesting shot and fun to look at.

some flash would have detailed the center of the image nicely - the white balance is off a bit towards warm tones which detracts from the engine gleam of metal tubing
