Our challenge this week was backlighting – one of my very favorite ways to photograph portraits…and pretty much everything else 🙂 I just love the softness it creates and the opportunities for some unique sun flares.
Side note: I’ve been avoiding shooting my Canon 50mm f/1.4 wide open but have recently fallen back in love with it.
Next, please hop over to Valerie Rice and check out her “backlighting” image.
I'm a beach bum from New York, living life with a cup of coffee in one hand and a camera in the other.

JenSuch beautiful bokeh in these images! Backlighting is my favorite, too. =)
The Gaggle PhotographyBeautiful light in these – she is way adorable!
Kasia of KGilbert PhotographyThe light in these is great. I agree on the bokeh too. I get too frustrated in post with backlighting so I can’t say that I love doing this week but that is why it is called a Challenge, right?! 🙂
