I've been back to the East side of Lake Winnipeg about seven times now trying to get the shot I'm envisioning of a backlit wave. I still don't have the shot I want, but I was happy with this one as a black and white shot.
I was out trying to photograph sunflower fields when I found this little area with small yellow flowers. I waited for a while and positioned the camera at a low angle in order to get the flowers backlit, so they would be lit up compared to the surrounding grass/plants.
I had taken a photo a couple years before this one where I learned that railway tracks light up during the early or late part of the day when the sun hits them. I tried to get that effect with this photograph and I was happy with the result.
