Aye, local as in 'in the UK' - 40/45 miles E/SE of Manchester (i.e. along the A6 and into the hills)

Sort of missing the point .... the whole point of being different to bokeh is that they don't need that blurry background, the separation of subject and ground is achieved with strong contrast or silhouette
Hi Stewart --so how do you meter a shot like this to get this effect? The foreground has a lot of great detail preserved but there's enough contrast with the backlighting to give it a very strong compositional feel. How do you, you know, do that

M4P, 35/2 asph cron:
I don't know why but I find this shot very affecting. There is something about the composition and the way the figure is caught moving away and out --maybe it's the fact that it's clear she'll be gone in a second or two; there is something about it that is incredibly poignant the longer you look.

Sorry I only just spotted this ...
The easy way is an incident reading over the shoulder or a reflected reading from a skin-tone in the shadows then underexpose by 2 or 3 stops.
It allows for some detail to be retained in the shadows, and blows as little of the highlights as possible ... c41 film also helps, xp2 seems to be almost un-blowable in practice

Thanks Jack
Thanks Jack
I was lens testing and trying to find difficult lighting sources for this image/roll.

I really like your colour shots here, very atmospheric, I'd be delighted to have taken any of them.
