Variety with a low sun

The brief for this exercise is to take photographs with frontal,side,back and edge lighting, and to try and take them all if possible at one time, I had to do mine over two occasions as I was struggling with the edge lighting and also I was unahappy with my fronal lighting and wanted to re shoot them.

These were taken in the newly opened country park not far from where I live on a trip with my photography group, as we had been asked to take some photographs that could possibly be used for the friends of the country park website, so in a way I fell into taking these by accident. The church was taken with back light and I love the glow as the sun is setting over the church, the other one I have taken so far is of the side lighting this time the sun is to the right of the photograph and you can see it shining on the silver slide, lets hope that when I go back to get the rest of the photographs the insects don't think I am a free feast again.
Well I took a second walk to the country park this time the weather had been better during the day so I was more hopeful of getting the rest of the shots I wanted and also maybe a couple of others, below are my frontal lighting photos

The first photograph was taken walking into the park, I liked the way the light was hitting the pile of stones to the left and I did debate whether to include this as a side lighting, photograph two and three were taken just walking the dog and looking around to watch the light change from when we got there to when we left, photograph two was taken on the walk back to the entrance. photograph three was really just a snap shot but I guess I just liked the photo.
The last photograph is of edge lighting this one caused me the most problems which I was expecting having read the brief for the exercise and I  struggled with this one until finally as we left the park I looked up at the church and saw that the light was just striking the side of the church tower.

My favourite photograph is the back lighting one of the church the soft orange glow from the sun seems to add atmosphere to the photograph.
