Frontlight on classic Excalibur.

Intention: Take a well lit frontal picture using the sunlight.

Reference: DuChemin notes that when dealing with front light, "There are no shadows to create texture, and where there are no shadows there is less depth. The light is reflected and the colors are fine, but they could be much more alive." and I took that into account when creating this image. Even when using front light, I managed to incorporate shadows for depth by instructing my subject to pose in a certain way.

Outcome: I am happy with this image and I really like the way the sun makes everything look.

Edits: Decreased exposure, contrast, and whites. Increased highlights, blacks, and vibrance.

A Buddha statue in the parking lot outside a local bar (and former Chinese restaurant). This is probably considered more sidelighting than frontlighting, based on my position, but I still like the photo.

By using front light, the face of the girl is all lightened and the shadow is behind her.
