3 Types of Backlighting to Improve your Photography

As with any photographic technique, there are pros and cons. Whilst it can add depth, drama, and aesthetically pleasing effects to images, it can be tricky to master. It isn’t an effect that can be used in every instance and the key is recognising how the light can assist your session. Another big hurdle to master is exposure, trying to get the correct exposure for the subject and the background can be very difficult (and sometimes near impossible), so understanding exposure fundamentals on your camera is essential.

Through Lighting

This is when the subject is translucent in nature hence the light shines through it. Some typical examples include leaves and flowers.

Rim lighting

This is when light causes a halo or outline effect on the subject. Often used in portrait and still life photography.

Silhouette

This occurs when the subject/foreground is in total contrast to the background, commonly used during sunsets/sunrises for people, and landscape photography.

LMPC started life in late 2021 and the brain child of John Dudley, our founder and Chair. The chaos COVID created meant the club didn’t have its first meeting until February 2022. Having a stable membership of regulars who are committed to engaging with the club, including homework’s, competitions, and social opportunities has made the wait worthwhile.

The LMPC social night includes food, entertainment, and exciting ideas for the summer. We will return in September with new ideas in the programme. If you’re a member and want to donate some party food, add your name to the spreadsheet. Feel free to add anything you’d like that is not already on the list. Also, don’t forget to add in any allergies or dietary needs so we can try and accommodate everyone.

Want to see some of our photos? Why not head over to Instagram or Facebook and give us a follow!

We love to welcome new members and it’s never too late. Come along to our finale for this season, and get involved with the summer ‘fun’!
