A contre-jour
Made by designldg
The oldest living city in the world. This was shot in a street which leads to river Ganga in Varanasi (Benaras) one early morning of last January. I like to use the light à contre-jour, I think it emphasizes the outlines and it gives among other things a kind of halo which allows the viewer to concentrate on the subject on the picture. Contre-jour, is a French word for 'against daylight', refers to photographs taken when the camera is pointing directly toward the source of light. An alternative term is backlighting. This effect usually hides details, causes a stronger contrast between light and dark, creates silhouettes and emphasizes lines and shapes. The sun, or other light source, is often seen as either a bright spot or as a strong glare behind the subject. Fill light may be used to illuminate the side of the subject facing toward the camera.
