Last Light

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 4 May 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This was taken in Birchrunville about two weeks ago just up the road from the Sheeder-Hall Covered Bridge that was posted yesterday. The sun was just setting behind the hill to the right. It was all I could do to try to minimize the lens flare while I shot this, which required holding the camera with one hand and blocking out the sun with the other hand (and trying desperately not to get my hand in the image!). I like how the backlighting from the sun lit up the emerging yellow-green leaves giving them an autumnal appearance, when in fact it was early spring.
