Assignment #312: Backlight & Silhouettes

Photo By Backlight And Silhouettes Assignment Winner Milko Marchetti

Using backlight and silhouettes can add drama to your photos by emphasizing the strong shape of a subject. It also allows you to create starbursts or add a soft glow around wildlife. For this week’s assignment, submit your best shots using this technique by December 27.—Kristan Ashworth, Managing Editor
