I had some fun with back-lit oak and maple leaves yesterday on my late afternoon photoprowl. The sun was at just the right angle and the leaves, oaks in particular, we’re at just the right stage of turn.

I have been experimenting with Smart Auto on the Samsung Smart Camera WB800F. The camera has about 20 different Scene Modes that it chooses from based on an analysis of the information on the sensor, before it determines final exposure. So far it has done a really good job. My back-lit leaves were all taken in Smart Auto.
