And, another in a series of assignments suggested by members. This one comes from howards/Howard.

Contre jour is part of our second Scavenger Hunt. As suggested by Howard, this assignment also includes use of backlight and fill, rim light, backlight for balancing. In other words, use of backlight to go along with whatever else is in the photo or in use as lighting. We are not going to be dogmatic about a style or definition, just the use of light behind the subject.

To participate in this month's assignment, make a photo that has backlight in some form visible in it. And put the words "Backlit etc" in the photographer's comment . If you want to add anything, please do.

To qualify for this month's assignment,
Submit a photo that visibly shows some use of back light, and
be sure to include the words "Backlit etc" in your comment.

If you have a story to go with the photo that you want to share with us, put it in the comment area below the critiques.

If you have any questions, email an admin. If your photo is deemed to not meet our assignment criteria and hence removed, please accept our decision graciously. Our decisions are not subjects for debate, so if you are not sure, ask first.
