Breaking the Rules

Sometimes, in my photography (and my life, for that matter!), I break the rules.  In past workshops, I was always advised not to photograph into the sun.  It would certainly ruin the exposure and might even damage the camera.  Well, one evening in late August, while walking the beach at sunset near Tofino, I decided to break this rule and purposely shot into the glaring sun as it started to sink below the beach ridge line.  This was the result:

I kind of like this image.  It certainly brings back good memories.  And, yes, the camera still works.
