BACKLIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY

BACKLIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY

Backlight is generally when your subject is illuminated from behind. When your subject is in between light and your camera. This create some silhouette images also but some subjects you take from backlight looks awesome. Generally backlight more use for potrairt and silhouette images by using sunlight. Here i use my home lights and other images are by using sunlight while i am on my trek. First image i taken of mosquito during lockdown period at my home at arround 9 pm with my garden light . The second one taken during trek to Jessore Sloth Bear Sanctuary gujarat. and the last one taken during trek to Har ki Doon. You can also try at home backlight photography with external light source. I will post an article in future for home backlight photography with sample images.

Above image i dont know the perfact name but it is lizard of jungle of Jessore Sanctuary. When he/she climb on tree i got beautiful frame in my mind by using backlight of sun between 2 trees just a golden light with lizard. 

A leaf can express all his anatomy. Well during trek to Har Ki Dun .I didn't get much time to shoot with wide aperture but still get good image.

The above image of leaf taken at singalila national park during trek to sandakphu. Backlight of sun define the details of leaf very well.
