Sunlight - use a polarizer to reduce glare.
Woods - bright sunlight in woods = difficult. wait until late afternoon/early morning or wait for cloudy days.

Since getting rid of my 'harsh light' speciality is one of my goals, i read with interest the thread on sunsets/sunrises. From now on, will try to shoot the golden hours as much as possible.
There are two tough light situations under which i happen to love to shoot:
1. Farmer's market, always on Sat afternoon and yes, even in B'ham there's plenty of bright sunshine in summer! (see my garlic submission for the Fruit & Vegetable challenge - harsh sunlight and oversharpened). When you're sorta monopolizing a vendor's stall, you don't want to outlast your welcome by setting up a lot of gear (which i don't have anyway, yet).
2. Woodsy settings. That's pretty much my main environment and i just love to see trees in a darkish forest with that lovely light dabbling through it.
Any suggestions?
Also, any recommendation will be appreciated for a good technical book but no so technical that it puts me to sleep by paragraph 3. |
