How to shoot in full sun
Today is a fairly easy tip. The best tip I could give you to shoot on a full sun sunny day, is get out of the sun and into the shade. Well sometimes I know it is harder then it looks. So how do you shoot in the sun when you don't have any shade to go to? you turn them so your subjects face is not in the sun. For
example, the top photo the sun is almost right on top and to the right of the children, it is giving off horrible shadows on half their face and eyes. The middle image is a little better but the sun in front of them is still giving off a bad shadow in their eyes, under the hat, and under their noses. And the child is squinting. The man in the photo is cheating and using glasses. I really had no choice in this photo though we were vacationing in Yellowstone and I wanted to take a picture of them with the beautiful background and the sun was unforgiving that day. On the third photo I turned him so the sun was behind him, no harsh shadows!!! We now have an eye pleasing no harsh shadow image. So remember get into the shade or if there is no shade simply turn your subject so the sun is behind them.
That is all for the tips, 5 weeks worth whoa, thank you for joining me on this journey!!! I'm so happy I could help you take better photos that you love and be proud to show off.
