Friends posing for a shot at sunset time when the orange rays of the sun were falling on the green pine trees in a forest in Shimla

It was a beautiful evening when we were strolling in the forests near Shimla. This small hill station is suffering from negative growth and unplanned development. So to find peace we usually travel around Shimla and spend some time with the nature. We were going back home when this shot happened. The sun was about to hide behind the mountains and a filtered orange light from the sun fell on the trees.

It was something we had never seen before. The darkness of the orange was blending perfectly with the green of the pine trees. I wanted to capture it so I asked my friends to pose in front of this beautiful natural background. I randomly asked them to jump and to capture the moment I increased the ISO as the light was very low and to freeze the frame a fast shutter speed was required. All went well and the print looks fabulous.
