How To Shoot Dreamy Backlit Portraits

How To Shoot Dreamy Backlit Portraits 

With Natural Light



Lisa Holloway - How To Shoot Dreamy Backlit Portraits With Natural Light - tutorial

My favorite subjects to shoot are often the people closest to me—my own 10 children.  My two-year-old son, Elliott, has slowly been working his way out of the “run-away-from-the-camera-as-fast-as-my-little-feet-can-take-me’ phase and progressing into the ‘oh-I-might-sit-here-for-a-few-pictures-if-you-let-me-have-ice-cream’ phase.  I had been wanting to take some updated photos of him and settled on a country boy theme.  I was going for something simple that would draw attention directly to him and allow your eyes to settle on his face...

How to Create the Orange and Teal Look in Adobe Lightroom and Camera Raw



How the Tone Curve REALLY Works, and 5 Ways Adobe Could Improve It


The tone curve is one of the most useful tool for photographers. It can be used to make any tonal adjustments like brightening your image and adding contrast. You can also apply it to individual channels to create Instagram-like filters.

and How a lens works

Glass becoming evil

Glass becoming more evil

What is lost at the end of all this?

How to view and compare depth rendition



7 elements Nikkor AF 50mm 1.4D vs 13 elements (with 3 ED glass and 1 Aspherical ) Sigma ART

On a wide landscape, the distance between foreground and background objects is captured clearly on the depth lens but confused on the flat lens. The depth lens also capture drastically more tonal nuances than the flat one.


The next lenses of the future will be flat lenses for sure



More observations on low-element count lenses.

  • They are older lenses: lenses made for film (people like shooting film because it feels “more real", now you know why lol) with less rounded aperture blades and less recent coating.
  • They don’t perform as good as flat lenses at maximum aperture: One needs to learn how to close the aperture well according to the light. The bokeh won’t be as creamy as a new flat lens.
  • They mostly won’t provide corner to corner sharpness until f11: Downside of less glass correction. Wide angle lenses are the most to suffer low-element count.
  • They are very cheap to buy used most of the time: Most of the world has been sold onto upgrading to a flat lens.
  • The theory mostly applies to prime lenses: I have tried many low-element count zooms and the differences are more subtle.
  • The theory applies to focal lengths above 35mm: there are many compromises made to design lenses of 24 and wider.
  • Ideal low-element count number is below 9
  • Most low-element count lenses aren’t fast lenses
  • They don't have plastic elements: The effect of 1  plastic element (or called "hybrid aspherical") is quite damaging to the depth.
  • The higher the element count, the closer it needs to be used only at max aperture.
  • Not well reviewed: every review site on the internet will shit on them.
  • Darn cheap: The used market is full of them. Chances are the user is selling them for purchasing expensive flat lenses.



More observations on high-element count lenses.

  • They are modern lenses: Made with the latest sauce on “rounded aperture blades” and lens coating mostly for better bokeh and wide open sharpness.
  • Maximum aperture champions: they provide maxed out values of sharpness and bokeh (most of the time).
  • Nightcrawlers: Their high correction gives them amazing flare resistance at night.
  • They can only be used at max aperture: High-element count lenses have “3d pop” only when the background is blurred. When the background is visible, it is flattened on the subject.
  • Easier to use for beginners and casual consumers: They are corrected for any aperture.
  • Well reviewed: huge promotional campaign on the lenses on every lens review site/blog.
  • Heavy: lots of glass in there.
  • More expensive: tons of materials more.


Compromises to be made, to buy both or not?


A high element count lens isn’t necessarily bad and a depth lens isn’t necessarily good. I would buy such a lens for its “bokeh effect” when used on max aperture or its ability to provide sharp corners on extreme occasions of need (a specific landscape picture that needs corner detail) then quickly go back to the depth lens for general purpose. Some people prioritise sharpness more than depth . In my case, I tell stories in my images. The lenses I use must be able to respect the composition I see with my two eyes and depth information is also part of the story. On some occasions, I would require “bokeh quality” to help shape the mood, on most occasions I need context. Photography for me is the reproduction of reality. I lose fidelity by using a higher element count lens.

Micro-contrast is a premium attribute in some brands while being spread more evenly on others.
  • Canon has two line of lenses clearly directed at two drastically different users: L (enthusiast and professional users) and non-L (occasional and casual users). While some non-L or third party lenses might score higher than L lenses on test charts, Canon L lenses are the better Canon lenses with micro-contrast and will have superior rendition to the non-L. The price gap between a Non-L and a L lens is close to double price. Canon is also starting to release replacement version to their original L primes lenses, many of which lose their micro-contrast in favour of resolution.
  • Nikkor lenses all have okay to excellent micro-contrast as this attribute is spread more evenly across the entire optical library, but usually cost a little more than Canon’s affordable non-L lenses depending on wether it is from the Ai/Ai-S, AF-D or AF-S line (many AF-S G prime lenses have inferior micro-contrast to their older AF-D line)
  • Voigtlander SL lenses have amazing micro-contrast (sometimes at the cost of sharpness) and cost just a little more than Nikkor lenses.
  • Many Zeiss ZF/ZE Classic lenses have world leading micro-contrast and are perhaps the most premium lenses for dSLRs. The Zeiss OTUS and Milvus lenses have reduced micro-contrast in favor of resolution.
  • Sigma ART lenses do not have micro-contrast at all.
  • Sony E-mount lenses lineups are similar to the Canon model. Non-L lenses are replaced by G and non-G lenses. L lenses are replaced by premium Sony lenses with Zeiss design and coating. Lately their goals are to reduce this attribute in favour of resolution in the G-Master lenses.
  • Fuji XF lenses all have good to great micro-contrast like Nikkor lenses but they require the use of Iridient Developer (Mac OS only) to reveal their true nature.
  • M43 lenses have awful to very good micro-contrast but it is harder to identify which ones since they are still figuring out ways to exploit that attribute at the sensor-level (they might have reached solution in the GX8).

More pics:

Frame with sub-frame. Sub-frame has two purposes. One is to act as a light sealer, the other is to enable the lens box to be slid on and off (as I plan on making several). The fit is so tight friction alone will keep the frame and lens box together. The foot on the lens box is however fastened to the frame for the sake of safety.

And here it is, at least the still non-functioning version. I need to adjust the thickness of the pressure plate somewhat before taking it out for a test run. As I said, the main body is built out of a case for a bottle of A.E.Dor Cognac. That of course ment I had to do what the British are best at, work around the inherent design faults, rather than fix the design.

I had to chop the case down lengthwise as there was a divider 2/3 of the way up. This meant there would be so little room to load and unload the film I had to have a removable chambre noir with film gate and rollers all in one. Getting the rear light tight would be difficult since I have a sliding rear door. The pressure plate has to be removable too, for the same reason the chambre noir is. I chamfered the corners of the face of the camera for cosmetic reasons. The case top, bottom and front are clad in oak. The sides, doubling up as handles, in another hardwood. The lens is the same as for the 4x5/6x12 project, and Fujinon SW 90 f8 on a Chinese helicoid mounted on a Linhof lensboard. Finder also from the 4x5/6x12, with a new mask.

Here are som low resolution pictures describing the parts of the camera. Bottom of this post there's a link to the full resolution pictures.

The 6x17 RATIO: With its 3:1 ratio it is the format that is the nearest to human horizontally leveled eyesight: the natural panoramic view of humans field of vision. This is of course only true when wide angle lenses are used on this format (80mm, 90mm, 110mm)


However, with more normal to tele lenses (such as 150mm, 180mm, 250mm, 300mm) new abstract views and visions arise that have a more artistic and abstract look since they put a selective focus on a crop with extremely high detailed scenes due to the 6x17 film size.


Other Known Formats:
6x17 | 6x24 (pano)
6x8 | 6x9 (normal)
6x6 | 6x7 (square)
6x4,5 (obsolete)


Comparison of hasselblad panorama on 35mm, normal 35mm, 6x12, 6x6 and 6x17:



The more common formats like 6x4,5 or 6x8 and 6x9 resemble the known 4:3 and 2:3 ratio's common to most other analog and digital cameras, hence those are much less rare in exhibitions.

Compared to non panoramic photo communities, panoramic communities are very rare.



Not everyone understands the contemplative qualities and technical aspects that the 6x17 systems provide to you as a photographer. Ordinary people will find this a heavy and bulky system. They are happy with their point and shoot auto-everything toys.

If you start with 6x17 hobby, Do not expect an overcrowded stream of photos of the same quality or ration in your local photo club. You will be probably the only person in your city with such a system.

Expect surprising looks at strangers trying to figure out what you are doing with such a strange large camera.
