Ashanali Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 so far - all photos are on the right track for backlighting and silhouette. Kirislin - the 'UFO thingy' you removed would have been a sun flare. This happens when the light is at a certain angle. If you go to flickr and do a search for 'sun flare' or 'lens flare' you will see heaps of photos where it's been used as a special effect. There are also some images in the flickr group that I posted where the flares are obvious and create a part of the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White_Shadow Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 So would this be sun flare in the left part of my pic?? I thought the kids must have touch my lense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashanali Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 So would this be sun flare in the left part of my pic?? I thought the kids must have touch my lense Yes, that's one form of sun flare. The one that Kirislin is talking about might have looked more like in this image see the light orbs at the bottom of the bride's dress? or the light orb to the right of the bride? or follow this link and you will see a quite detailed sunflare http://www.flickr.com/photos/traveller2020/3036017282/ Sometimes they can end up in distracting places such as cutting across your subject's face, but if you move slightly it can alter the effect and place it somewhere more flattering.

aquaticmalamute Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) I had to go out to the family farm and meet the farrier, knowing how my farrier is terrible at being on time I decided to take the camera and have a go at this months challenge while I waited I must say i'm happier with my silhouette image than my backlit image, even though the background isn't as light as it should be. Both photos taken at about 2pm. Shaani as a Silhouette And Drue backlit Edited August 1, 2009 by aquaticmalamute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anniek Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I have to first figure out how to set things using the manual setting. Save this in your favourites (camera manual) http://www.lrc.ed.ac.uk/Documentation/Digi...400d_manual.pdf page 71 for manual settings. I think I have it all worked out, but need some sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
