Not sure if I will ever use or finish optimizing these images but I thought they showed an incredible variation that we sometimes miss. Interestingly, on this photo tour we had a total of eight photographers; six stayed with the setting sun and two looked east. The important thing is everyone was aware of what was happening with the light and made an informed choice where to shoot.
Fiat Lux!
