Here is another shot with similar circumstances as the last one. It was late afternoon in February 2008 and the sun was falling fast. I was on the roof of the Office Depot on Broadway trying to get a shot of the downtown area of Vancouver.

I turned and saw this section of trees backlit by the orange sun. I pointed my camera at the scene and set the f-stop to achieve some decent depth-of-field. I decided to use my long lens zoomed to 155 mm to compress the scene a little.

This is the resulting image. I really like the detail in the branches. I think there might even be a bird nest in the upper left side.
