Outdoor Family Portraits | Backlighting Photography
© 2015 Wazari Wazir | My Family Having Fun at The Park
To some photographers, backlighting is their worst nightmare, depending on situation of course, but for me I love backlighting because they are natural and I want to photograph it naturally, just the way it is. It can be tricky especially on your metering systems, but if you get it right, the result will be great.
This is not really a photography session, so it wasn’t that perfect, actually we were just spending few hours jogging at the park and then, I saw this beautiful warmth morning sunrise and decided to make a quick photographs of my family.
Personally I think the best time to get a great warmth backlighting if the weather is good is when the sun is about 45 degree angle. Actually I’ve written quite a few about tips on getting good backlighting photography, if you have the time, please check out my previous post regarding the subject. Anyway the photographs above were taken with Canon 5D Mark II with 50 mm fixed prime lens.
