It appears that I'm not the only photographer shooting plenty these days. There seems to be many more cameras in use in the past couple weeks with autumn's cool air painting the leaves in some brighter hues. Good to see those pixels pumping out the pics.
Although many amateurs who I see taking pictures continue to do their shooting from the wrong side. They keep the sun at their back and capture the trees in front lighting. There's so much more to be revealed when you shoot with back-lighting - particularly with semi-translucent objects like leaves. Sure you might lose a bit of the colour saturation with some shots, and risk and bit of flare ghosting on the lens, but the added depth and texture is worth it. At least that's the way I see it.
Take a shot here for example and see if you agree. Take a look at my stock photos and see if you can see how many more images look better with backlighting.
Give it a shot for yourself. Happy shooting out there.
