A Samoyed sitting in dewy grass in low golden light, rays of sun streaming through the trees behind it and lighting the mist, the dog's white coat glowing at the edges and a soft lens flare on the grass below.

In the Rays

October 2024

1D X Mark II, 70 millimetres, f 2.8, 1/1000 of a second, ISO 500

The light came through the trees, and the dog sat in it.

Low light coming through the trees in visible rays, which needs mist and a low sun and does not happen often, and a white dog sitting exactly where the rays landed. Backlit, so the coat glows at its edges and the grass in front is a field of lit dew. The flare at the bottom is the lens looking straight at the sun. It stays.
