Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in my living room.

Time

It was mid day sun filtering through sheer curtains diffusing the harsh light.

Lighting

I was able to create the silhouette look by having my subject back lit.

Equipment

Canon Rebel. My first DSLR.

Inspiration

I loved the side view features of my sons face and the shapes of the instrument.

Editing

Very little post processing, just tweaked the light.

In my camera bag

Back when I took this I had a Canon Rebel and 50mm lens.

Feedback

Backlight is fun to try if you want to create a silhouette. Make sure there is movement of some kind so you can distinguish features.
