Contre jour Photography

Contre jour Photography is
more atmospheric and by including the main light source it gives an image more impact.
It is a challenge shooting into the light but done correctly it can produce dynamic shots.

Tips^
  • wait until the sun is low in the sky
  • shoot at minimum aperture; ie; f/5.6 or even
    f/16
  • Make sure your lenses & filters
    are spotless
  • Use a Reflector
  • Just go out & take lots of shoots into the
    lights!
