Lens Artists Photo Challenge #247 Backlit.

This week Ann Christine of Leya has given the challenge of photos that are backlit. Her responses to the challenge are beautiful I will give a link to her post at the end of this post. All of my photos come from a 2019 tour of houses and buildings designed by English architect Sir John Soane (1753-1837). Soane designed all the buildings with windows and skylights that allowed in natural light to illuminate the room.

In the photo above I wanted to get both the park outside and the lovely wall paper in the room .

.

Soane would often use a “Skylight” to illuminate the space below. This was effective even on a grey English day!

This is the entrance hallway to Soane’s house in Ealing.

The Ealing house overlooks a park on one side.

This window was in a church close to one of the Soane houses.

Thank you Ann-Christine for this interesting challenge. Click here to see her beautiful backlit photos.

    How lovely, Anne. I think taking shots out of windows is so difficult because the inside becomes so dark, and sometimes the outside is so bright you can’t make out the details either. Great work accomplishing a difficult photographic task. Beautiful windows!
