Shooting in bright sun can be a challenge for your camera because of the extreme
range between highlight and shadow. In this shot, using a bit of fill flash would
have helped reveal details in the shadows. Still, I love this snapshot of my son Tony
at Crater Lake, Oregon. Remember, it is better to get a less-than-perfect shot than
to miss it because you were grabbing another piece of gear.
