The light is horrible! How do I make the best of it? 2

Kayaks at Lake Louise

My husband and I had arrived at Lake Louise too late in the afternoon to take advantage of good morning light.  We were stuck with light coming from the back of this iconic scene, which flattened the light on the glacier.  After working with the light from the front of the lake, I decided to take a walk around to the side to see what I could do.  Here is the second idea for how to handle bad light situations.

My stroll didn’t move the sun much to the front – we were too late in the day and it was still off to the back, but my little jaunt had moved the direction slightly to the left side of the frame.  I spotted the boats and moved down a little more toward them.  Aha!  The front of the canoes pointed at the glacier and created angle lines that brought a dynamic feel to the scene.  Even though the light on the glacier and mountains was still flat, the light was working on the boats and the scene came a little more to life.
