Although most photographers prefer overcast light when photographing forest scenes, in this video pro nature photographer Ian Plant discusses his preference for shooting in the mixed light that results when strong sunlight filters through the forest canopy.

Ian shares his strategies for effectively using mixed light in the rain forest of the Pacific Northwest, especially using backlighting in the early morning or late evening.
