Thanks James and Roman for the explanations and pictures

Now I understand

Thought I would shoot in the studio but today's frost and backlighting gave me one of my favorite lighting situations. The walk this morning was like natures Christmas decorations.

Merry Christmas to all.

Hi Peggy,

That is quite lovely. Nicely done. So far, I have squat.

OK My hat's going into the ring. It's at 500 ISO, so a bit noisy, even though I did reduce the noise a bit. I was at Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River last weekend to photograph some bald eagles there. We were there at the break of dawn.

That is a nice effect, the mist glowing. I can see a faint eagle flying thru it, and is that a tree in the background mist?

I like Roman's black and white of Antlope Canyon, also. Great
take on what is almost always a color shot.

This is my favorite light, a light colored backlit horse

Very nice lighting!
