Hi,

Sorry for posting so late, I've been singing The Working Man's Blues as of late.

When I was a pre-amateur I was convinced that backlight came from my backside and frontlight came from the front. Finally I was brought to order.

Basically it is this, using sunlight at a low angle to light up petals and leaves and such. It can also be very successfully used in portraits.

So here we go, have fun

Used thesun's rays bouncing off of the water to illuminate the leaves. Is tis politiclly correct?

I'm betting it's going to be a good one RR. nice start.

I'm going to have to go dig up my very first back lit attempt from 1961. In the mean time dig these. Looking forward to the fun.

sun on the frozen pond really blew this one out, but I liked the chair frame next to the table.

Mid morning walk in the park presents lots of opportunities for back lit subjects.

at an art exhibit. Don't know what it was but it shows back lit examble.
