Saturday's backlighting

My last shot of the week.  Not to most inspiring.  I was really hoping for human subjects but since they escaped me, nature is what I had to work with, so this is what you get!

Thursday's backlighting

I really do know the days of the week and I know what order they come.  I missed Thursday's shot and wasn't sure if I was going to be able to  catch up so I skipped it.  In order to be able to count the number of day's I've posted I am doing a separate post for each day of the week.  I'm going to be at this until I complete 365 days worth of pictures!

The bee in this shot is a bonus.  He just happened to fly in as was shooting so I recomposed the shot so he could be the focal point of the image.

Friday's backlighting

I'm cheating today.  I took this one a few weeks ago, but I was intentionally practicing my backlighting at the time, so I'm using it today.  Meghan was sitting on a wooden bench that had been crafted from a tree trunk.  I used the bench as a reflector since I did not have one. 

Wednesday's backlighting

I was originally going to post the SOOC but since I had some time to play in PSE I'm posting the edited version, even though it's only marginally better!

Monday's backlighting

I forgot to post this yesterday.  I saw the most incredibly back lit skies on my way home from an appointment about 7PM last night.  This was all that was left by the time I got home and grabbed my camera.

Tueday's backlighting

Today's post was a test of my patience.  I tried a back lit self portrait.  If I nailed the exposure, I missed focus. If I nailed the focus, I missed the exposure.  I had lots of lens flare.  I tried taking off the filter, but that didn't help.  This is the best of the bunch.  I tweaked the exposure and played with the color for skin tone.  I'm not happy with it but I don't know what else to do with it, either.

This week's theme is backlighting. Sunday's backlighting

Rain in the AM and literally gone from 9:30AM until after 10PM.  No time to shoot.
