Was that him or the whisky (or do they spell it like Americans in
Wales?) talking?
Certainly there is good light and good images to be found shooting in
the general direction of the sun, but there are also more shooting
across or away from it.
There are quite a few shots taken 'into the light" in the gallery I
recently posted, but I knew going in that some wouldn't work out and
others would need quite a bit of post processing.

This is certainly lovely, hardly shot into the light.

This one could certainly be turned into something very nice, see the
example below.

This is nice. Now we are getting into an area that continues to
fascinate me, light and shadow through the petals of a flower. It could
be adjusted to heighten the glow.

This is pretty extreme looking, but almost certainly salvageable into a
nice image, especially if it was shot in RAW. I took a little stab at
it. Don't look too closely at the details; there are artifacts from
working with a small, compressed, 8 bit image. But I think it shows
there is much more there than at first meets the eye
