Behind The Lens

Location

The beach in Naples, FL

Time

Sunset

Lighting

The bright light from the sunset was perfect for getting my subjects silhouettes.

Equipment

Nikon D3000 with a 55-200mm lens, handheld.

Inspiration

The subject I was photographing comes from a boat building family and loves of the water and boating. Being able to shoot him standing in the setting sun's light looking at a boat off in the distance seemed to capture this. The photo also has a secondary meaning of him reflecting on his families past by the reflection of the sun on the water.

Editing

The photo is not post-processed.

In my camera bag

A long lens, wide-angle lens, micro lens, and filters.

Feedback

I think it is best to capture a silhouetted photo at the beach when the sunset is brighter versus more overcast days. I've found that shooting the silhouette from a slight distance works better.
