Kristy has decided to have some "guest challengers" this year and I was quite surprised this morning to be asked to be the first one! I have been thinking a lot about what I want to do with my photography this year and so I have done my research and come up with a challenge for this week that I hope will stretch our imaginations and technique a little!
The topic is Still Life and Back Lighting. Essentially it is taking a photograph of an object that has been back lit. Not only will this prove to be a challenge, but it means we don't have to leave our cozy homes and go out into the suddenly chilly weather! I've provide a couple reference links below to get us started. Good luck and I look forward to seeing this weeks creations!
