Have you sent me your photo for our May assignment yet?? Deadline is tonight at 11:59pm EST so you have all day and evening to get out with your camera and take some backlit shots!
Lorie Pollock, of AB, sent me this photo, saying, “…In this picture, I sprayed my son’s grade one spruce tree and put it in the direct sunlight and as you suggested, took the picture from down low, directing my camera to the sun. I love it!!!”:
Taken with Canon Rebel XSi at f/11, 1/1600 sec., ISO 1600
I love it, too! The sunlight glistening off the water droplets is fantastic!
Next, I want to share two submissions from Lori North, of ON:
Taken with Canon Rebel EOS XT at f/4.5, 1/2000 sec., ISO 100
Taken with Canon EOS XT at f/7.1, 1/1000 sec., ISO 100
These are wonderful, Lori! Thanks to both of you for sharing!
And to everyone else, I’ll be watching my inbox for YOUR submissions… 
Cheers,
Sue has been behind a camera for more than 25 years, working professionally as a photographer for the last ten years. While she began the hobby of scrapbooking in 2000, as a complement to her photographer career, it soon grew into a rival passion! Sue loves to enlarge one of her favourite photos and make it the focal point of her page, using her supplies to bring the focus onto her photography. She has, in recent years, turned more to scrapbooking "moments" rather than "events", choosing to leave her children more insight into her point of view of their lives.
