B03 Maroon Bells backlit 0986_8365.jpg


Keep the Sun Behind You.
In the left photo, the Maroon Bells and aspen trees receive perfect morning light. The autumn sun is shining from behind me. The right image is backlit, meaning I am photographing or pointing the camera into the sun. The photo has far less color saturation and detail.
