Backlit
Title:  Backlit
Description:  The sun on Long Island is in the wrong place to get good nose lit shots, but I usually gave it a try anyway. It worked best during the lonc days of the year, as the angle was as good as it was going to get for side lit. At least with the FAs going away, you could get a good lit shot.
