friiskiwi: Would sillhouettes be considered on theme, or should there be detail in the back lit subject? ( 5 years and 2930 days ago )
Contest Moderator: As I read the contest guidelines, the only things prohibited are plants and flowers. As silhouettes are backlit...I believe they should qualify. I would however, recommend the members attempt to add some detail in their shots, as those entries will probably gain higher scores, being a more challenging photo... ( 5 years and 2929 days ago )
LauraM: Is a tree considered a plant?
'cause I just realized that was the entry that I had given. Sorry, I can delete it if I'm wrong. ( 5 years and 2929 days ago )

MossyB: Well a tree isn't an animal or mineral. I think it's a plant... ( 5 years and 2929 days ago )
MossyB: For a silhouette to be considered on theme, the "primary light source" needs to be BEHIND IT. Just having something silhouetted against a light background is NOT having the primary light source behind it.
"In photography, when foreground objects are shot with a hot light source in the background, the objects become dark shadows."
"Backlighting refers to the process of illuminating the subject from the back. In other words, the lighting instrument and the viewer are facing towards each other, with the subject in between."
The key point is that the subject is BETWEEN the light source and the camera. Anything else may be a silhouette, but it is NOT backlighting.

Contest Moderator: People...NO PLANTS OR FLOWERS AS THE SUBJECT!!!!! Please read the contest rules BEFORE submitting your entries...In 24 hours I have removed 8 entries that are plants or flowers. Trees ARE plants, so, backlit or not they will be removed. ( 5 years and 2928 days ago )
jerostone: Ok, one other thing now; what if the source of light, albeit behind the object, is placed a bit to the side of it and out of sight? Also, can we use two sources of light? Thank you. ( 5 years and 2928 days ago )
Contest Moderator: You may use 2 sources of light to fill in shadow detail, however, the primary (brightest) source Must come from behind the subject ( 5 years and 2928 days ago )
