Saturday bonus photography post

On my photography to-do list is working on backlit subjects near sunset/sunrise. This is extremely difficult in our area because there are SO MANY trees. We don't have huge open fields that have access to the skyline because TREES.

One of the advantages of being a runner is that I get to a lot of places on foot that you can't access by car. In my runs, I found a perfect spot where I could practice backlighting. Then summer arrived in April this year and it has been too hot and too humid to even consider outdoor activity at that time.

We got a short break from humidity yesterday and the evening weather was perfect, so I loaded all my boys up to take them to my secret place for practice.

BOO YAH!
