Dramatic Light at Sunset

A trip to the Atlanta Botanical Garden yesterday, when the sunlight was drifting in practically sideways creating dramatic contrast, yielded some great black and white photos...

Three geographic regions are represented in the High Elevation House: the Andes Mountains; the flat, table-topped "tepui" mountains of Venezuela, Brazil and Colombia; and Mount Kinabalu, on the island of Borneo...

Next time you're playing tourist, have your camera at the ready just before sunset when the sunlight is coming in "sideways"...and enjoy making some dramatic photos!
