Sun Baked

Sun Baked


This picture was taken at a very shallow depth of field to bring out the leaves from the cluttered background. It was then post processed in photoshop with an extreme curve adjustment just o leave the colour of the leaves. This was because the leaves was also illuminated from behind.



The back light is sometimes called hair or shoulder light, because when lighting an actor or an actress, backlighting will cause the edges of his or her hair to glow if he or she has fuzzy hair. This gives an angelic halo type affect around the head. This is often used in order to show that the actor or actress so lit is "good" or "pure". In television this effect is often used in soap operas and has become something of a cliché of the genre. It is also sometimes called the kicker.
