Just another cloudy day in Columbus, Ohio! Did you know that a photographers photo taking strategies will change based on the lighting that they have that day? Cloudy days and the golden hour are a photographers dream. However in many cases this doesn't work out!
A few tips for shooting in full sun:
1. Avoid shooting at high noon, it is better if the sun can either be in front of you or behind you.
2. Shoot either early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
3. Know your area! If there are great places for shade at certain times of day use this to your advantage.
4. Slightly underexpose your RAW photos. This allows you to retain background color while also preserving skin tones. Then you can use your editing software to bring back the beautiful colors!
