52 Clicks | Week 6 | Backlight

The light last week in our Project 52 was all about embracing that backlight. Backlight can be a tricky one to master if the light source is strong and unfiltered. It can be great for more artistic shots, like silhouettes, dramatic rim light and starbursts. If the light is filtered (behind trees, curtains, etc) or at a time of day when it's softer (golden hour, for example), you can use it to create beautiful portraits. See how the p52 participants used this type of light last week.

And if you're wanting to join in our challenge, it's not too late. Sign up now!
