Creating an Image: Tofino Sunset Silhouette


I took a series of four or five shots to get this one, the one I like and the one that shows the effect I was looking for at the time (10 p.m. in June, 2013; shot using a very fast film "speed" on digital camera; it was very nearly dark). My son's silhouette is the center of interest and from his outline the eye follows down to the sunset in the middle, clearly what he and my wife (a kind of secondary interest point) were looking at that night. There is a good dynamic symmetry shown in the shot as well as my son's head on an interest point from the rule of thirds. You will also note that I squatted to take the shot so as to allow more sky in the shot. What a beautiful sunset!
