How do they do that?

    I've seen a couple of shots recently, and have NO idea how to take them. I gotta know. The photos contain a usually backlit subject and tend to be in b&w. The light seems to "bend" around the subject and blur the lines a bit. Best example I can find right now is http://www.flickr.com/photos/17922580@N00/263082891/ but that's not the best example ever. Can somebody tell me how that's done? Thanks in advance.

    From the example you give, it appears to simply be a backlit subject that is slightly over exposed.

    You drop the temperature of the developers by 1.5 degrees.

    You also need a post-fixer bath or the image will fade - you can make this from household igredients; they are...


    Or you could just learn how to use photo-shop! :rolleyes:

    He's asking how.

    Besides.

    Zillah was right, an over exposed backlit subject. It gets to the point where the skin and white background blend together.

    If you did want to do it in photoshop, use your Dodge tool.

    I'm so bad with dodge/burn... That's far too much effort. I had a feeling it was just an overexposed back-lit subject... but I wasn't sure if it would involve a small aperature, too. Thanks for the info.
