Backlit film, by definition, canvas australia is to be the subject facing away from the main light, the natural environment, the highest light is the sun.

And this first explores the filming of back lighting.

A. Recording time

Have a significant effect of lighting. Had to be taken on a sunny day. In theory, print on canvas australia sunny day time back lighting can shoot photos, in fact, I also midday and afternoon sun is too strong when shooting backlit.

24-70, 2.8 apertures, shutter 1/800, ISO 200 12:40 noon

But according to most shooting backlit prime time in the evening, panoramic photo canvas prints before the sun goes down within 1-2 hours, backlit photos taken at this time is generally recognized as the most beautiful of all types with a backlight.

Because the soft light of the setting sun, with a small gold luster, characters and background contrast, it is easy to create a stunning picture, shoot touched people's mood piece children.

On the season, the winter light is more transparent than the summer softer, more suitable for shooting. Basically all day to shoot backlit appropriate. On specific terms of shooting time, during prime time summer generally occurs at about 5:30 –7 point, winter generally occurs at about 4:00 –5 points (different year, different latitudes there will be changes, for example, in my now Victoria where summer is 6:00 to 8:00), that we need to pay more in their own location observed.

II. Equipment Selection

To be fair, this camera thing, in general, the film was shot out pretty expensive. So if you are with a tiny digital DC, or what sort of micro single, you do not have a close look at this thing.

First you have to use a SLR, and secondly you must have a large aperture lens. Such sheet can be shot out of the backlight nice. Kind of color and image quality. With a small digital micro single late like other films does not make the dead also.

As long as the SLR, the entry level can also be. Lens what, so what's all hands on with what, but the effect is certainly Tau larger aperture than the dog's head is not strong point.

I have been saying a large aperture. Large aperture considered how much it? I personally feel that at least 2.8 to be considered generous aperture it. When lit shots, and most of the time I use the 2.8 aperture and down, of course, at noon, when the light intensity and the like will be used 4.

For my own use lens 35 / 1.4,50 / 1.4,24-70 / 2.8, I feel that a few scenes shot Xiaopen friends quite right. The effect of back lighting sheet is also quite satisfactory.

Tight budget can enter about a 50 / 1.4,2000 meters. The price is high.

III. Shooting settings.

M-speed manual! Necessary! Because before the sun sets, the light is in the process of change has been in, and the backlight light than (do not understand the 'light than the' please Baidu) is relatively large, so you want exposure entirely in their own hands, do not use A or T profile files, are not reliable!

WB: raw format shooting, in fact, set the white balance is not a big problem, and can be configured on automatic.

Metering:

Many people will say 'backlit with spot metering ah. ' but I found that in the actual shooting or evaluative metering hand. When you are a human Spot metering face (if not, then shoot silhouette), shot out of the background will be overexposed or not level. The evaluation will take into account the metering metering metering and background characters, take an average, so even if the film exposure is not ideal, it does not appear too dark character or background overexposure has led to the later stages can not be adjusted appears.

Focus:

Backlight conditions, especially when a large aperture, the lens is not so special as well as cattle, often unable to focus or focus to encounter the problem of slow. Photography Daniel would advise you to 'manual focus ah, ' I would say, 'still have AF. ' Wheel speed, autofocus certainly a lot faster, especially shot Xiaopen friends, manual focus is simply nonsense (unless shot asleep Xiaopen friends). Round convenience, so the smaller the frame, to see whether the focus, the eyes are exhausted.

So. Still we have autofocus. As the focus is difficult, I offer three small ways:

1, make use of the hood.

2, when the focus of his hand over the lens blocking the direct sunlight, after focusing on the face, remove the hand, press the shutter (single handset that will test your friends)

3, move a little (or squatted down or stand tall) at your location, with the photographer to block direct light, focus and then recompose.

IV. How to shoot

1. Positive backlighting

This is no longer a conventional classification, but I understand that in order to facilitate children get a name.

Positive backlit camera is facing the sun, sunlight entering the lens, a 'beat', the majority of the 'foggy' feeling. I think it is not entirely desirable. Specifically to see the overall picture of the atmosphere of harmony or not.

For example, the following figure, sunlight enters the lens, the whole picture 2/3 part has a 'Clear' feeling, pre-and post adjustment is more obvious. But because this is a close-up bust, both and highlight detail enough, it does not seem to make people uncomfortable.

Sometimes because of the high contrast backlit positive, people will be shot too dark, or people exposed to normal background to overexposure, so we should let the sun light conditions a slight bias into the backlight side.

2. Backlight side

That is not right in front of the sun. Let the light a little bit oblique incident screen. Or if it is facing the sun, but do not let direct sunlight into the lens (through squatted down or stand tall and sometimes to achieve the objective).

For example, the figure below, I found squatted down light into the lens, so he stood up to shoot, the camera does not 'eat', and color will be much better, the color is more bright, will not 'hazy.'

As showed below, backlight side of the shooting, let the sun in the rear on the right or left side of the rear of the photographer is to avoid direct light into the lens.

Fill Light:

In fact, I basically do not shoot little friends fill light, because little friends are constantly moving, running around, so the children will be exhausted in the flight board. And I do not want to use flash photography, the one that makes little friends eye discomfort, and secondly, do not like to fill flash light is not inherent.

Nonetheless, sometimes you can still use reflectors, such as shooting small activities is not strong Xiaopen friends – baby, or just sitting will crawl Xiaopen friends. Or relatively good, and older children.

Sometimes small mushroom very fit, good fabric to give her a scene where she can enjoy themselves in their own half does not run around playing time, I will put a reflector in a fixed position, good results.

For instance, the following set, I was in the face of small mushrooms placed a ramp in front of the mirror.

In addition to this, we can also note that when the backlight is used to shoot a dark background, let you shoot people appear beautiful contour light, golden hair has become very beautiful.

[Long-winded one: Usually with silver reflective surface, will have a warm golden light that side with gold, white translucent plate reflective effect is weak, people sometimes used to block direct light. Reflectors must not put too low. Out of a bottom anti-light effect difficult to read]

About glare:

Some photographers think there is a failure glare photographs, trying to avoid, in fact, I find this fall is much more forgiving, as long as the glare that affect not appear in the picture or obscured by the position of the photographer, and sometimes actually can bring some escape or not the same as creating a sense of mood.

For example, following this, though the screen glare, but did not affect the picture, but rather brought a delightful fantastic feeling.

In fact, there is more to explore carefully written, but this is already long enough, and more importantly, we need to shoot in their private practice to feel, experience. So here it marks the end of it. I hope you will take your favorite backlit sheet!
