Tip of the Day: Taking Advantage of the Sun

We all enjoy outdoor photography, and there are many reasons for it. First, we are outdoors, we are exploring, we are on an adventure. We are experiencing new places, new scenery, etc. Next time you plan to go out to shoot outside, maximize the use of the sun. If you have a place scouted, get there early, as the morning sun rises quickly, and the beautiful red, yellow, and golden skies disappear very quickly. Don't shoot around noon, because the sun is directly above you, and washes out saturated colors. Wait until later, when the sun is setting. You have approximately 30 minutes to capture beautiful sunset skies.
