Welcome to Day 42 :) Today it's all about lighting ... Back Lighting to be exact. However we are going to extend that to include natural backlighting .. such as the sun through trees for example. As long as the major part of the lighting is coming from the back side of your subject.
I tried to set up some decent examples on this subject but they didn't turn out how I was picturing them in my mind. So I will work on that today myself. Here are a few examples of natural backlighting .. plus a few pain medicine induced examples of how Not to do it LOL.
I look forward to seeing what y'all come up with.

Side lit is cool! That would be a really neat shot on a barn using sidelight+backlight, a bit in between both, so as the barn windows would be lit up at one end and gradually the lighting gets lower so as the last window would be fairly dark.

Might as well do it now cuz I won't be here fer long....too nice outside.

Ironic..here is a grounded sub and a few hundred feet away is a lighthouse....reminds me of a certain Costa captain, sort of aiming for the light but barely missing it.

That sub BTW is a huge tourist attraction and they even have a restaurant aboard. Never been there, spent eight years sailing and have no problem avoiding it
