Backlit shots can be very dramatic. But the intense contrast can be very
hard to control. The bright spots are VERY bright and the dark spots are
VERY dark. I should have used a bounce card to soften the shadows (but I
didn't think of it). A bounce card is a sheet of something white used to
reflect light back into a scene to help illuminate the dark areas. Another
alternative is a low intensity (fill) flash.
