Using Backlighting with Digital Photography: A Tutorial
Effective uses of backlighting with digital photography. Samples follow: rim/hair lighting, emphasize translucence, & create a silhouette.
Rim/hair light – when light traces the outline of the subject.
Translucence – light passes through part of subject such as a bird’s feathers, fabric or water.
Silhouette – high contrast. Subject is black and is set against a colorful lit background. Is recognizable by its outline alone and is not superimposed on other objects so that it blends with them creating a single shape.

This extended weekend photo workshop on the Outer Banks includes a variety of photographic opportunities with visits to local lighthouses, beaches, inland dunes, small boat harbors, historic sites, wildlife refuges, and parks intermixed with critiques of participant images. The Outer Bank’s miles of pristine shoreline and shifting dunes are some of the most beautiful in North America.

For close-up bird photography, we will drive inland to Sylvan Heights Bird Park near Scotland Neck where over 1500 ducks, geese, swans, and other exotic birds reside in 18 acre facility which includes large walk through aviaries and natural habits for North Carolina’s native species. Other locations to be visited include Jockey’s Ridge; Bodie, Currituck Beach, & Cape Hatteras Lighthouses; Wanchese harbor; and Hatteras National Seashore.
