My favourite kind of image is where the light is behind the object of interest in a picture. This is a perfect example.
Personal photography from the nature reserve I live by. An image I favour taking is views where the sun is behind the object/area of interest. When taking images, most books or tips advise you to have the sun behind you at all times. I personally prefer the sun to be in view of a photo.
Cardiff Station, late evening. There was no editing in this image. The sun setting left a pink tone, and the glare through the camera lens enhanced it. I feel the composition worked well to my advantage. The small handful of people, waiting and reading, I find it makes the viewer feel peaceful and relaxed. The only thing that ruins it for me us the lights in the shelter. I think without those, the image would be perfect.
Sun set in Venice, photographed from water taxi. This image was very difficult to capture, and I had managed to take it just in time. I think the whole image gives a peaceful atmosphere, which is very deceiving, as when I took the photo I was far from peaceful. The thunder from the water taxi's engine was loud enough to block out thought, and the temperature felt below freezing. A deceitful image that seems serene, that was taken in a form of chaos.
