Thanks deky!
Beautiful landscapes, wish you had more wide angle coverage.

Got many pics with cars and bikes which are sidelit. Here is a pic of my bike, my car and another one shot at the drag.

Thanks clevermax and beautiful pic of yours.

Here one more

and one more sidelit

Wow, beautiful shots from almost everybody, and so fast. Side light shooting is more difficult than backlit, therefore forces one to compose well.

From my Himalayan trek, both are shot using Sony Cybershot F-717 in 3MP resolution.

Mt. Pandim



Mt. Kangchenjunga

@Samurai : The picture of Mt. Kangchenjunga is stunning.
I would like to share a third pic that goes with the theme if its allowed.
The Grand Canyon

Macro needs very good composition, in the absence of that, we will only see magnified objects.

That's not a reason to avoid a theme. If we think most of us will post irrelevant shots, this will be a good opportunity to clarify the misconceptions.

One from my side...

@Samurai
Every single photograph needs very good composition. SO I really do not see a difference in macros as well. If when composition is bad, in macros you see magnified objects only, then in regular photographs, you see regular sized objects only. So does it really matter?

My first entry for sidelit. Clicked with my old Sony Ericsson K810i Mobile phone.

Samurai,

The second photograph is awesome.

Here's my contribution for this thread. You guys will see a lot of portraits from me as I light using only one strobe for most of my portrait work and usually side light the subject . This was taken at a portrait workshop that I had attended in bangalore,

Model: Yuvanita
Lighting pattern: Side lighting (2 strobes) with a fill from below.

@hellwrath
The lighting looks a bit too harsh. I would say, shadows add depth, so instead of eliminating them, use them to your advantage and play around with the amount of fill light you have. Just my 5 cents.

Here is one more. Shot from inside the car.
