Behind The Lens

Location

This was shot with me standing in my front yard, facing my porch.

Time

Around 2000 or 2100 hours, during springtime in Florida.

Lighting

No lights in front, and a good backlight through the window provided by the lamp inside.

Equipment

Just the Fujifilm FinePix JX370 point-and-shoot that was my main camera at the time, with the ISO down low.

Inspiration

I love silhouettes. Anytime I see a strong backlight I'm looking for a silhouette. It was here.

Editing

A teeny bit of darkening.

In my camera bag

Nothing... since I usually don't have a bag. ;) But if I go out specifically to make pictures I like to take a small mirror, sheets of different-colored paper, my mini-flex tripod, and a flashlight. Simple stuff.

Feedback

Simplicity! Always simplicity. It forces you to think a little more creative, a little more unconventional. Also, don't look too hard for a shot. Let it come to you as you keep your eyes open and you'll have a lot more fun with it.
