I tried a few different subjects (mostly household knickknacks), and settled on this as my favorite. The first shot is Mary on plain white poster board (with a custom white balance set for a nice soft, soothing color). The light is behind her and to the side.... I wasn't sure if that counted as backlight, though, so for the second shot I stuck the lamp directly behind her with a piece of opaque plastic in between.

Isn't she lovely? Clearly I have holy envy, lol.
Mary, your challenge for next week -- which, if you got the same weather we did in the last few days, should give you ample subject matter -- is FROZEN. Have fun! :-)

At first (while the pictures were loading) I thought you meant your actual sister Mary was on a piece of white posterboard...and I just couldn't figure out how she'd fit! Silly, silly me. :)
My word verification is "wooker"...I wonder if that has something to do with Wookiees.
OH! I forgot...I love both of the pictures, and I can't decide which one I like best. I do like the one with the plastic making Mary look like she has a holy halo glow.
these are fantastic! i'm blown away every week that these aren't touched up at all in photoshop. i love both images, but i think the 2nd one looks cool, Mary has a halo!
good job! love these!!
Um..you are amazing.
That is all.
