Blinded By the Light

I like Manfred Mann's remake of the song this post is named after, despite having one of the most misheard lyrics out there - it's "...wrapped like a DEUCE, another runner in the night," and NOT DOUCHE. BIG difference that I am sure Bruce Springsteen, the songwriter, wishes it turned out a little clearer. Anyway, I am learning that light giveth and taketh away on outdoor shots. This one was from a hike to Anna Ruby Falls in Northern Georgia on a beautiful September afternoon - the weather and trail scenery was stunning.

Unfortunately, when I went to do my post processing, I noticed I had quite a few shots like this one where some of the details were washed out because the sun was almost directly above us. Lesson learned - I need to plan for it to be lower in the sky.
