Nearly every type of tree in fall splendor looks great in back lighting when the sun shines through the leaves like stained glass.

Positioning your camera opposite the sun with the light pouring through the branches enhances the brilliant yellows. Be sure to adjust your exposure by +1 to ensure the yellow foliage shines.
