Theory Notes

Considerations when shooting in low and sun light.


Low Light:

A lot of times, if a person is trying to shoot in low light, they will automaticly use their
flash, because then you will get the light that you need.
But if at any occasion a person is shooting something with low light and is not using flash, then there are a few tips and pointers to think about when taking the picture:

Movement: If a person is taking a picture where there is lots of movement (sports) for example it is adviced to think about your ISO.

Sometimes people will also use extra support when taking a picture in low light, because the less movement would be the best if a person did not have a fast lens.

Sun Light:

There are also some tips and pointers when shooting in bright Sunlight.
If we look at some of them we read things such as trying to create a shadow for the object that you are trying to shoot. If you are shooting an object that is not able to move, then a good tip is to create a shadow with your own shadow, or even using an umbrella.
Usually when a person is taking a picture, they try to avoid to take the picture "into the sun". Because it could make your picture turn out very black, but one thing to use is a fill flash.

Examples:

This is an example of shooting directly into the sun.










Another example of taking a picture, which is shoot straight into the sunlight.
