Backlight throws many interesting opportunities during photography. Sometimes, we in our pursuit to get clear sharp pictures we tend to break our head on technicalities(aperture/iso/shutter/lens) about the subject in backlight.
During right opportunity, if the scene is visualized rightly, backlight can help in achieving dramatic images and opens viewer’s imagination. The general principle I follow is compose, wildly underexpose and take care of the rest in post processing. I would not claim to be a guru but for sure it gives me a ‘kick’ 🙂
Remember, this is one technique that does not require major kit…and hence one of my favorite.

I am not able to see your samples but I love backlight!
Oh… OK I had to click on the title as they were not visible in the wordpress reader. Great captures. The first is especially interesting!
Thank you for your thoughts. Getting the exposure right can be a headache and in wildlife it hurts badly if we lose a moment in adjusting our gears. Will try and follow this
