Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in my hometown of Islamabad, Pakistan.

Time

Just before sunset.

Lighting

The 'Golden Hour' set the stage for a perfect silhouette shot.

Equipment

This was shot on a pretty basic Nikon D3300 with a Nikkor AF-S 55-300mm DX lens.

Inspiration

Spur-of-the-moment shot.

Editing

Minor adjustment to contrast.

Feedback

When capturing a silhouette, always underexpose your shot when the sun is at its least intensity.
