Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in the doorway of our barn.

Time

Late afternoon.

Lighting

The backlighting creating a silhouette inspired me to take this photo.

Equipment

Handheld, Nikon D750, 28-300 lens.

Inspiration

The relationship of love and trust between a child and a large horse. I did not plan on taking this photo but when I saw Brody and Chance Horse silhouetted in the doorway I could not resist. Chance Horse lowered his head to Brody's level and Brody looked up to give him a kiss. I lucked out with this particular shot. Luck and timing can make all the difference!

Editing

Minimal post processing, adjusting for light and contrast and cropping.

In my camera bag

Always my Nikon D-750 and my everyday lens 28-300. Depending on what I am planning to shoot determines what other equipment I take.

Feedback

Silhouettes are easy and simple to shoot. Bright light behind your subject and your histogram showing a lot of blacks.
