Title: [Theme] Masters of Light: Backlit Images
Post by: Jan Anne on February 24, 2016, 00:41:48: Many themed topics are object oriented, time to do something light oriented ;D

Please show us your favourite backlit images, here's a few of mine.

Of course this one had to be my opening shot with three of the four amigos in one shot ;D

Fons, moody light is the main subject in these series of topics, I don't care what that light source is.

With backlit images the main light source is coming from behind the subject rendering the subject black (as in out of DR range) or lit with subtle and moody reflective light.

Your first image with the chairs in the church nails it, in your second image you completely killed the mood by lifting the shadows to normal light levels.

Here's a similar image where the light was trying to make its way into the alley enhancing the tunnelling effect of the small alley.

Post by: Thomas G on February 24, 2016, 21:33:56: Backlit, surrounding light low, subject not blackened but translucent. Does that match the thread subject?

#19 is great, translucent plus black spectre, a lot of details, gradual light changes and local contrast.
#18 gives me to think about the fading center.

Was doing my usual stuff of shooting animal portraits of animals sitting in a spot of sunlight against a shadow background when he decided to look up and open his beak.

Post by: ColinM on February 24, 2016, 23:24:18: Ok I think this qualifies as backlit. Though many dismiss the 105mm VR as not ideal for macros, I find it makes quite a good med-tele.

I love attempting BIF but in the uk, sunlight & clouds conspire to give such changing light levels that many of my birds taken against the sky are often burned out, or too underexposed.

I fully agree Mongo, really enjoying all the contributions in this topic and already got plenty of inspiration to try out on my next trips.

Might introduce a few more "Master of Light" topics to give more light oriented images a podium, there's so much to discover and learn about light which makes this hobby so fascinating :)

Here's a few more from me, hope you guys like them.

The first one is a special image btw for personal reasons, on the old NG forum somebody called the original version "pedestrian" while back then I thought it was the best I could do. I got insulted and very very angry by the comment but a few days later had to admit he was right. Locked myself up for a weekend and learned everything there was to know about processing NEF's in CNX2 with the mindset "I'll show the MoFo what I can do". When I think back about the event its too funny but it gave a huge boost to my processing capabilities and laid the foundation of what I now know about processing RAW images. I forgot who he was but I'm eternally grateful for being so blunt about my work ;D ;D

I fully agree, went for a canoeing trip in Finland in 2004 and kind of fell in love with Scandinavia.

Back then I had no idea what light was other than that I needed some to photograph, quickly looked at the images taken with the Minolta A2 during that trip but there's sadly not one I liked based on the current knowledge of photography (my goodness I sucked back then).

I do think a sincere critique is positive. It takes courage to do a negative one, even if with good constructive intentions, even more to really accept it.

Love your couple holding hands by the way. Nice ambiance. The crossing white lines are a perfect touch.

We went to the "Tagebau Inden" once and he chose a Nikkor 600mm on his 4x5 qinch Linhof, while I was shooting him with a Minolta Dimage 7 (Which only needed ONE tripod for support)

He has a great website carrying industrial shots only: http://www.hfinster.de/StahlArt2/archive-en.html

That is why I asked & The portrait of him fit the topic of this thread anyway.

Nice suggestion of film noir, although the gun's silhouette seems very modern.

Post by: Zang on January 16, 2021, 22:13:07: The pattern did actually come from a scratchy Ikea table top glass, lighted from top by an Ikea table lamp :)

The gun was not even a fake one. I cut it from a paper sheet and keep it a quarter inch above the table to create the 3D illusion.

Cheers,
Zang

Cold fire.

This is an unbelievably precise juxtaposition of the dawn sky, clouds and the trees. Fantastic capture!

Many thanks Akira! I agree - the timing was really in my favour. In several ways actually. I was on an stroll in the dusk - last two strolls I had first forgotten the camera and second time forgotten to load the memory card... :o

I like your light and image, Hans.

Some more TLC - I couldn't decide what to post so a small series.

I'm glad you like shot with the birds gathering on the wires - there were quite many in the air, but I waited for this shot with a smaller group of flying birds to leave some room for other elements in the picture ;D

Øivind - great captures. I especially like the first one.

Post by: Øivind Tøien on November 27, 2021, 21:38:38: Thanks Hans for the enthusiastic comment. I would agree that the first one is closest to the Phoenix bird theme.

Here’s a backlit pelican shot in Australia with the D500 and 200-500VR @ 350mm (525mm FOV), the second image is a fruitbat backlit by the last rays of sunlight shot at 1/5th of a second with the same combo bottomed out at 200mm (300mm FOV).
