Fun with Backlighting :)

[mattsartin]

Being the poor college student that I am, I do what I can to find new ways to improvise. Today's "studio lighting" was sun shining through the front windows of my house. Editing done in Lightroom 3. C & C more than welcome, thanks!


1) Me, Canon XTi and Tamron 10-24mm @ 19mm


.6s ISO 400 f/13, external flash pointed at ceiling








2) This is the aforementioned lens, taken with Canon 50mm f/1.4


1/60s f/4 ISO 800, no flash





3) I feel since Bryan has expanded to reviewing Nikon that it's ok to post this []


Tamron 10-24mm @ 15mm


20s f/16 ISO 100, no flash

Hey Matt,


I really love the 2nd photo the best. I think you nailed the contrast and backlighting perfectly. I think I would like the 1st and 3rd better with just a little less backlighting.


By the way.., I love the "F" Nikon Camera.
