Working on backlighting. Took a few quick shots of my daughter in our kitchen while she was home for lunch today.

One of the shots taken during the Model/Motion workshop.

This is how the circuit board with the rectifiers and regulators are mounted to the back of the LED circuit board. Remember, if you use AC power, use appropriate fuses, surge suppressors, and tie the safety ground to the chassis!

Another back lit shot, this time at 135mm uncropped. !00% fill filter in PSE RAW and shadow adjustment in JPEG. CA is more apparent now but you have to look for it in the larger sizes before it becomes a factor.

Quando i figli cominciano a mettere la barba è ora di tirare i remi in barca. Ma io la barca non ce l'ho!

Pisa Cathedral seen from its Battistero. What seems to be a flock of birds, are in fact fethers stuck in the grid.

I went to IKEA for some things and I saw these cheap led bars. I couldn't resist... I had a sudden idea, night lighting for planted tanks :) Think its cool.

i can still smell the woodsmoke

Here would be natural backlighting, I had to crop out the parking lot and street lamps, they added nothing to the beautiful sky!

Backlighting

Used a colourful sunset to backlight this simple plant. Event the most simple things can be seen differently by changing the point of vue and taking advantage of the light.

Nikon D70s

This is an extremely difficult situation for any camera. Intense light from the window in the background usually makes any camera get the hickups. What happens is the camera sets the settings based on the light in the background. That makes the "main" object in the picture go all black/dark.

The Panasonic Lumix LX3 has some very sophisticated functions to handle this kind of situation in a good way. If this photo was shot with some other camera the whiskey bottle would've been all dark.
