Ride a Good Horse: Sunday Stills

Sunday Stills

Out photo challenge this week was to use backlighting, and there were some lovely examples of backlit leaves as examples. Alas, no leaves here! But I did get my flag, backlit in the morning sun.

Photographing Beamer backlit usually ends up looking like a silhouette.

Sometimes I am lucky with a backlit shot, like this one:

And this one is from my archives- a little color to brighten up your Sunday.
