shooting in even light
Try shooting in even light most of the
times unless you are trying to create
something artistic. Even light conditions
are easier to manage as you do not
have to worry about harsh shadows.
Try to look out for places around you
with tree covers. Light filtering through
trees will be softer and you can also get
great bokeh with the highlights behind.
Putting a diffuser is also an option in
case if you are just shooting in harsh
light to even out the exposure.

photographers prefer the ‘Golden Hour’
because of the golden glowy light that
the sun has to offer when it is very
low in the horizon. This gives you an
opportunity to shoot some stunning
images if you are combining it with
the landscape. Usually two hours after
sunrise and two hours before the sun
dips down. You have to take notice of
the weather and the sunrise-sunsettimes and plan everything well.
Natural light photography is fun as
you do not have to worry about any
external lights but there are other things
that you have to keep in mind to take
on any challenges which may come
with the changing light as you have no
control over it. In the end it is the images
that speak for a photographer.
