How to shoot a backlit scene with Nikon?

I'm afraid it's not enough to adjust the parameters to achieve the effect you said. You need some accessories.

If the backlight uses evaluation photometry, the scenery you are talking about will be very dark and may even become a silhouette effect.

If you use spotlights in the scene, the exposure of still life is correct, but the sky will be overexposed and become pale.

This is a common problem in high light ratio photography.

.

If the still life is relatively close and the scene is relatively small, then the evaluation photometry can be used to ensure the correct exposure of the sky and sunset, and then the flash can be used to fill the light to achieve normal exposure.

However, if the scene is large or far away, and the range of flash is limited, then a gradient filter is needed. In the case of sunset, it may be necessary to use the inverse gradient to calculate the exposure level difference between the sky and the scene, and then choose the appropriate filter according to the calculation results to solve the light ratio problem.
