I try, I really do - but my efforts to get into proper position for the golden light often fail, especially so this past season. Here's a small compilation of some of those times when, despite my plan, I ended up with my subject between me and the glowing fireball low on the horizon. I guess you could say these all represent my plan B - capture an image that communicates without detail.
All taken with 1D4 and 500f4

Fabulous shots Jim, what a great theme. I think your title is wrong though ....... you were on the right side of the light Wonderful silhouettes. #7 is my favourite.
David
I agree with David that you were certainly on the right side of the light. Maybe this isn't what you strive for every day but these type of shots certainly work for me

David, thanks so much for the kind words and pick. Photographing the Swainson's hunting bats is an amazing and fast action event, with up 50 hawks at a time!
Jim
Awesome jim, the swainsons / bat image is particularly great. Where did you see that? I know Davis, CA has swainsons hawks and bats but I didnt know the hawks eat bat

Thanks Eric, sometimes a failed plan yields a better one. As an eyeball maven, you can appreciate that I'm not doing my Pterygium any favors shooting into the sun
