 Todays Tip is
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.  Make sure you subscribe to my page, its right there at the top.  I will be sharing more of my personal photography journey, my photo shoots and some more tips later in the year.

Getting ready to travel or go on vacation and don't know what camera equipment to bring?

      Are you getting ready to travel and don't know what to bring and how?  I'll walk you through what I bring.  I'm on the go a lot.  Usually going to where ever my husband is working at the time.  I pack the kids up after school on Fridays (or which ever day is getting out for the weekend that week) and head to visit daddy.  We all know I can't go anywhere with out my camera.  I have this awesome little backpack the fits my body, two lenses, extra CF and SD cards, my shot log so I can keep track of my camera settings, filters, batteries, chargers and a remote shutter.  It may seem like a lot but this little backpack holds it all.  I bring my EF 24-105mm 1.4 L lens and a EF 75-300mm 1.4 lens so I am covered for anything I may need to shoot.  The 24-105mm lens is good for shoots in the truck or even the airplane if you are flying.  If you are going to be close to your subject I would have this lens on the camera.  It...
