Backlightingshot

A real life example can be of a sunny and a foggy day. On a sunny day, everything looks clear to us, thus has a high contrast, as compared to a foggy day, where everything looks nearly of the same intensity (dull, washed-out grey look).

When performing Contrast enhancement, you must first decide whether you want to do global or local contrast enhancement. Global means increasing the contrast of the whole image, While in local we divide the image into small regions and perform contrast enhancement on these regions independently. Don’t Worry, we will discuss these in detail in the next blogs.

What is backlighting? Backlighting is when a bright light illuminates the subject from the back. (Hence the ‘back’ part of backlighting.) See the almost outline of light around Ange’s hair below? That’s backlighting. The next time you watch TV or a movie, see if you can notice instances where the actors are backlit. It happens all the time. Why? Because it is an aesthetically pleasing (and easy) way to draw the eye to the subject.

There is another naive approach where we subtract the max and min intensity values and based on this difference we judge the image contrast. I will not recommend following this as this may get affected by the outliers (we will discuss in the next blogs). So, always plot the histogram to check.

Sometimes backlighting can get into borderline (or all out) sun flare. Even with the somewhat diffused light of golden hour, the sun pointing into the lens can still sometimes cause it. (More on sun flare here.) Getting rid of the haze in photos is usually as simple as moving a few steps. Usually I start by moving myself (the photographer) before I start moving the subject. Sometimes you can move and have something else block the light. Whether that be a tree or building or something. Sometimes the subject can even block the sun, depending on where they are standing. Something else to keep in mind is that sometimes the lens just needs to be at a different angle, so you may just need to move the camera slightly.

Backlighting can be easier, depending on what time of day you shoot. Backlighting at golden hour is not only simpler, but it also gives you a glowy look. (See full blog post about timing/golden hour here.) Light isn’t as harsh during golden hour in general, so you’ll have an easier time finding consistent light on both your subject and in the background. You’ll also have an easier time finding light because it is diffusing out.

A more valid way to check whether an image has a low or high contrast is to plot the image histogram. Let’s plot the histogram for the above images

There isn’t an exact formula I can give you for this. It will probably take a few steps of adjustment, either your subject or the photographer. (Or both!) You are looking to have the subject and the background with the same lighting and only have the bright light around their outline.

Another bonus of shooting during golden hour is that the ring of light around the subject is gold or orange, as opposed to a white or blue color during the day when the light is harsh. You can see an example of that if you compare the photo of Ange above to the photo of Olivia below.

So, for the high contrast, the image histogram should span the entire dynamic range as shown above by the right histogram. In the next blogs, we will learn different methods to do this.

Will the lighting situation on the subject and the background always be perfect? No. I’m presenting the optimum situation so you know what to shoot for, but don’t hold yourself to an unreasonable standard. Sometimes it won’t happen. Look at the photo of Z below. You can that, behind her on the grass, the lighting is a bit spotty. It isn’t the absolute perfect open shade that I might want, but it is still good lighting. Don’t sacrifice good (or even great) because it isn’t perfect.

I feel like I’ve said this a million times, but backlighting is something that takes time to perfect. It can still get tricky, even for those of us who do it frequently. But as you start to try it, you’ll start to get the hang of it. You can only get better by doing it, and, honestly, by messing it up. Remember that none of us post our failure photos on Instagram.

If you’re starting to feel confident with some of the lighting principles we’ve already discussed, you might be wondering what you can do to start building on that knowledge. Backlighting is a bonus skill that you can start to cultivate that take your photography up a notch. It absolutely isn’t necessary and isn’t something you’ll use at every session, but it is a great trick to feel comfortable deploying when the situation presents itself.

Clearly, on global enhancement, the details present on the face of the statue are lost. While these are preserved in the local enhancement. So you need to be careful when selecting these methods.

If we want our subject in open shade, but we need bright light for backlighting, then we need to strategically place our subject so we get the best of both worlds. Where might that be? Where the bright light meets the shadows. (Which, honestly, sounds the first riddle in a fantasy quest..) You subject will need to stand on the side with open shade, but have their back facing the bright light.

Clearly, the left image has a low contrast because it is difficult to identify the details present in the image as compared to the right image.

ImageAdjust can be used for adjusting pixel values so that more of the image content is in the visible range or to correct for bad illumination or contrast.

In the next blog, we will discuss the methods used to transform a low contrast image into a high contrast image. Hope you enjoy reading.

According to Wikipedia, Contrast is the difference in luminance or color that makes an object distinguishable from other objects within the same field of view.

Low contrast images can result from Poor illumination, lack of dynamic range in the imaging sensor or even wrong setting of lens aperture during image acquisition etc.

The duty cycle is typically calculated for 1 second of light on-off activity, as the target strobe rate is often provided in Hz or kHz. Duty Cycle Calculation:.

Clearly, from the left image histogram, we can see that the image intensity values are located in a narrow range. Because it’s hard to distinguish nearly the same intensity values (See below figure, 150 and 148 are hard to distinguish as compared to 50 and 200), thus the left image has low contrast.

The right histogram increases this gap between the intensity values and Whoo! the details in the image are now much more perceivable to us and thus yields a high contrast image.
