Backlit photography tips!

1)The best time to shoot a beautiful backlit scene is right before the sun rises or late in the evening right before the sun is about to set.

2)Set your camera on spot metering to focus on the subjects face and not on the lit up background.

3)Place your subject in front of a few trees or some greenery so that the sunlight can peak through the leaves rather than overpowering the whole shot.
