silhouette photo of female

Instagram: @danjrusso For this shot, I really wanted to be able to practice making use of lens compression (using a higher “zoom” lens, and getting further away from the subject making the background appear much larger than it would with, say, a portrait lens). This lens is a 70-300mm f/4 lens, and was able to make the sun in the background appear over 6x larger than normal! If you are ever taking photos in the mountains, try this method out. The mountains will fill the frame much more and appear very large behind you! For more photos like these, follow me on instagram @danjrusso
