December Challenge - Contre Jour (2) Discussion

[AB22 Easy Tiger]

For the final challenge of 2011, I decided to change my original idea for December to see how our photography and ideas have moved on since the start of the year, therefore the theme for December, is once again: Contre Jour.

Shots must be taken between now and midnight on the day I wake up after New Year

Happy shooting.

Against or into the light. Bit of a strange choice for this time of year. After dark might have worked a tad better considering the season.

I'd have thought the low sun made it a good choice for this time of year

That's what I thought too.

When it gets above the horizon.
It's grim up north.

 

[UaeExile]

Perfect time of year if you ask me

Would have liked to have gone and reshot this, but it's been moved for the reopening of the railway.

Reopening of which railway?

Reopening of which railway?

The Bathgate to Airdrie line. It was closed in the 50s. Was reopened March costing £300m

Going to try to incorperate as many of the years monthly challenge themes into one photograph with the main being Contre Jour.

Will it flop, like this months feeble effort I wonder?

Enter last months again and I will ramp it to victory

Some on here have really improved over the last year (not me, I hasten to add, I am still shit at anything that isn't astronomical). I hope you continue the rhetorical competition theme next year.

I think this year has been pretty successful for the most part so yes, we'll carry on as we are.

Are you allowed to use the full moon for contre-jour or does it have to be the sun?

Not really good enough for entry but might try some more ideas on this theme.

 

[AB22 Easy Tiger]

It's just "against the light". It doesn't matter what the light is.

 

[tom tom macute]

One taken today at the Tees Barrage.
Would it have got more votes than the one I've entered?
How long's a piece of string?
