I found this back lit seed pod while out on a walk today. Had to lay in the snow to catch it.

[Hillbillygirl]

Awesome takes on this assignment from everyone so far, I'm lov'n them all, keep 'em comin'.
At least I can see some from those that have the time to get out as I haven't been able to lately. Still living the photographers dream through all of your lenses.

[aubintbay]

Hey all. I see some very nice shots indeed in here so far!!
this is my contribution. The fog over Lake Superior backlit by the sunrise.
Hope you like!

[Wicked Dark]

from this morning -

that's all you can see of my front flower garden!

[Yisehaq]

This is from me.

[aubintbay]

Nice pic WD. Looks like you were out pretty early by those shadows.
Nice pic from you also Yisehaq. Very interesting. Is that the ferry?

[kat]

Whew..hopefully no one gets offended with this one....

[Iguanasan]

It's an interesting take on the backlighting theme to have half the shot backlit and the other half not. I like it.

[Bambi]

not offended at all. I like your thinking on this one.
I finally have one:

[edbayani11]

nice one, kat. this is a literal back lighting.

[Wicked Dark]

Here's another winter morning shot. I LOVE the light this time of year at that time of day.

[Wicked Dark]

thanks girl, your shot is pretty awesome, too.

[bobthetog]

Some real nice takes on backlighting here!
When I took this shot the air was filled with smoke from the forest fires in B.C. it acted like a huge softbox!

[JAS_Photo]

Very pretty!

[bobthetog]

Thanks JAS, just a smidgen of saturation and contrast on that one.
Now maybe theres's some kind of rule as to how many shots one can post on these threads, I should take the time to read the rules!
So far most of the shots have been landscapes, so to mix it up heres a nature shot, Bighorn sheep (one day) shot in Banff.

[Wicked Dark]

I'm paddling the same canoe, Rich. Nice job with the glass.

[Gaetan Cormier]

Good work on the wine glass. the tones are just beautifull

[Marko]

I did a bit of "play" shooting this weekend. here's one.

[Wicked Dark]

I think it has potential, but I'd like to see the outlines of (her?) the face. Good playing though.

[Marko]

Thanks WD, yeah I could have played more on that one.
Here's another that i caught just yesterday.

[Iguanasan]
