There’s a reason for the first light of morning or last light of the day is called the “golden hour” in photography. While it’s not always an hour, depending on time of year, the golden tone that early or late light puts out is really magical. I saw these two moose out in the meadow and decided I wanted to put the sun directly behind them to create this warmly lit silhouette. Focusing on one of the moose, I spot-metered the scene to get the exposure I wanted and framed accordingly. The moose were surprisingly cooperative and I was able to move around and get some side lit shots too.
