feeling very pleased.. I'd suggested it a few weeks ago, and having nothing else to feel too pleased about (Framing is a-sinking), I've decided to feel pleased about the new challenge :) |

Cool! Somehow everytime a challenge I suggested comes around I am unable to participate in it! Figures... |

Could something like this
be considered backlighting?

By the looks of it, it looks like it was lit from above. Was it?
I did this for the Zodiac Sign challenge using backlighting.
For this current challenge though, two requirements must be met (1) the backlighting should enhance the photo and (2) the subject must not become a silhouette due to backlighting.
So my crab photo does not meet the challenge partly because it silhouetted the body which was the effect I was going for. ScantyNebula's kiwi image is a good example.

If you look at the hand, the majority of light is coming from the top left? Also the back but perhaps not enough - the front is too light be a true back lit photo - back lit tends to mean the key light is from the back which means the sides will be lighter than the middle. In your case it's all pretty much even.
We all know you have to be very obvious in the challenges so i would suggest something extreme. |

Seems perfect to me. Light coming through from behind and well lit in the front. I would score it highly. |

I`m looking forward to this one....seen quite a few images in recent challenges that would have done well in this.
Sher`s was an obvious contender and also this...

Hell, I thought it was going to be interesting - are we just going to get a raft of light-box shots?

Don't worry there will be an ample number of rug rat shots lit from the sun behind with fill flash. |

Please let me know if you disagree, but I think the crab might have worked for this challenge if there was just a little fill in front so that if there was any pattern or detail in the carapace it would show up but still have the orange halo effect dominate.

I guess my entry for the Hope challenge would be considered as backlighting. The ligh was positioned behind the bands in order to make the lettering glow. You can see the bands clearly without them becoming silhouette.

Hmmm. The Challenge says to use backlighting to enhance the photo....
Does that mean that backlighting needs be the only lighting?
Just looking for clarification before I make and submit another one of my crummy shots:).

Totally agree with you. The body was in complete silhouette so this would have not met the challenge. Needs fill light to show some details.

| I think what it means is that the backlight should be your key light and you can use other lights to balance the scene so that the subject does not look like a black blob |

Gotcha. Now, it would still be Kosher to use a longer exposure time to allow reflected light balance the front of the subject, while keeping the backlight as the only light??

| It's about light ratio. The difference in stops between the back light and the lights falling on the subject. If the power of the back light is stronger than the lights falling on the subject, it would create this effect. Also, it doesn't have to be a single back light. You could use a single or multiple back lights, use reflectors to bounce the light back to the subject, or you could use weaker lights pointing at the subject. This could even be available light. |
