Challenge #6: Backlit Portrait

Sunday, July 31, 2011

This week's theme brought on...well...a challenge. I messed around for quite a while with the camera I'm using. It was hard to get a significant backlight without losing my friend's face to the sun. I took many silhouette pictures, as well as many that had way too much glare... I think this one turned out pretty well, though I'll experiment more with the idea of lighting from behind the subject.
