When bright source of light comes from right behind the object... Things to look for: 1. Avoid any lens flare (Tip: position light source well behind the object) and 2. choose 'no flash' mode so that object comes out dark and looks like a silhouette.
I have tried various shots with someone/ something in front of a sunset... but in most of the cases (unlike the picture I am posting here) object doesn't appear pitch-black because of 'interference of light'. So one need to either try different camera settings according to the location or adjust exposure during post processing.
Exif Data:
Shutter Speed: 1/800s (to avoid overexposure)
Aperture: f/14 (to avoid overexposure)
Focal Length: 26mm
ISO: 200
The overall composition and theme of the photo is more important in back light photography. Our DSLRs are way intelligent and equipped to take good back-lit shots in 'Auto mode' and in addition photo editing tools are capable enough to make that shot better :)
