40 DIGITAL CAMERA^ AUGUST 2019

Warm up to the season and add some

drama to your scenes, with summer hints,

tips and tutorials from Lauren Scott

hen summer’s balmy months roll

around, they provide a cornucopia

of shooting inspiration. The days

are long, which doesn’t bode well

for late risers, but does mean

more photo opportunities throughout the

day – plus the chance to shoot well into the

evening if you’re at work around midday.

In this feature, we’ll be looking at creative ways

to photograph the golden season, when the days

seem to last forever and the sun (in our memory,

at least) seems to be eternally shining.

Of course, we all know that bright sunshine

can play havoc with landscape photography,

with high-contrast scenes often resulting in drab

colours and focal points. We also know that in

reality, summer offers up its share of unsunny,

cloudy and even stormy days – all of which can

make for dramatic photos, too. Wherever you

are, make the most of the season with our guide...
