Mackenzie and I had a very nice time practicing our technique on backlit subjects Tuesday night. We discussed metering and how to expose for a subject properly if the background is brighter than the subject's face. After that we went inside to practice silhouettes against a window (where the light would be directly behind our subject rather than above, as it as outside). Finally, we talked a bit about sun flare, and practiced on the wind chimes outside. To achieve sun flare, one must put the sun directly behind a subject, with a bit of light peeking out around it. The higher the f/stop (meaning the larger the number), the more star-like the sun flare will appear.
f/22
f/3.5
I think having my UV filter on my lens added to the light spots that appear in both photos. If I had thought of it, I would have removed it, although I don't mind the appearance of them in the shot!
