The Magnificent Fern Bank


When I am desperate for a photograph these days, the fern bank always looks promising, especially with the late afternoon sun backlighting them.  So that's where I went looking today.  When the sun is higher, it illuminates the background which can sometimes be distracting.  But as the sun gets lower in the sky much of the background ends up in shadow, giving me this kind of black background, which makes the fronds of the ferns so much more dramatic.
