From: JC OConnell I really dont see any effect(s). you have horses in shade and a sunny lit background. Whats so special about it? White balance set for sun, the open shade will give a kind of blue cast to the horses. That's what it looks like to me. PS - I'm only 80 some digests behind at

Larry, early morning and evening we get some very interesting light. I'd keep low sun's light in the background, open sky lit subjects and some repetition. Takes some careful light evaluation or good eval metering plus luck. LF (horses are ok for me, as long as the cook understands spices)

Its called open shade which is nothing more than shooting in shade ( no direct light from sun )on a clear sky day so blue sky is the main light. In this case, your background is NOT in open shade, those trees are in late day direct sunlight. JC O'Connell hifis...@gate.net -Original

Here's what you did: You shot at 7pm. That's probably less than an hour before sundown at this time of year, so it's magic hour. The sun is coming from the horizon, and it's filtered by a lot of atmosphere. So the color is golden. You caught a bit of light spill from open sky in the shade.
