When shooting portraits/animals: Backlighting can shoot beautiful golden hairs and make the photos more moving. Using yellow white balance (try to adjust to a higher K number or use flash white balance or shoot directly in the sunset) can also heat up the photo, but control the exposure or fill light to prevent the protagonist from turning black completely.
