Amanda (peawithme) inspired me to try backlighting. My shot isn't near as wonderful as hers are, but I like what I caught. This is what Tina does on a shoot when we're not shooting-she really believes in the power of dandelion wishes.


85mm. ss/800, f/2.8, ISO 200.
Tried a selective color adj. layer to help with the yellow grass. Any better?

These are really cute. Love the conversion
It is so hard to shoot in full sun! I just posted some in full sun too and my grass turned yellow too! I like the conversion one...did you add a white vignette to it?
Love the halo effect--subtle yet effective. Nice work!
I kind of liked the yellow- it could have been a field of dandelions!
This is something I want you to teach me when we meet!!! Love it.
Hey Jenn...you're in my bloglines too so I'm back! I think maybe just do a selective color to add some red maybe to just her face (it's so hard to tell without playing with it and honestly, I still really struggle with seeing color casts consistently). I know that the yellow sunset kind of look is very popular too!! I'm sorry I'm not much more help! I try to CC when I can, but I always hesitate because I still have so much to learn myself!!
I like the halo. I think backlighting is so beautiful, and I don't mind yellow grass that much in bright sun, because it kind of looks that way in real life.
Backlighting is HARD! I feel like I will never master it, lol! Your shot is GREAT. I love the light shining through her hair. The b&w just BLOWS ME AWAY!
I am scared of baclighting so kudos to you! I really love the b/w one, so beautiful.
Nice job on the backlighting. I like the color adjustment.
Great shots, I love the conversions too. I really like the warm feeling here.
I think you did a wonderful job with the lighting.
