I set myself up to catch the lens flare, but that's what it's like in the forests down here: in the "golden hour" the sun slips liquid through the trees and turns everything into a gilded faery land.
Very nice light and I appreciate that it is an honest attempt to capture what is special about being there rather than creating something special that is more about the technical possibilities of the camera. Here is a photo I took of my dog Fletcher in the garden close to sunset. I'm not sure if it is edgy or flawed but I kind of like trying to shoot toward the sun and see what happens. I think somehow the color of the flowers in the foreground is influencing the color of the sunlight if that's possible.
