Shooting in mid-day

by Ray



I know it's bad to shoot in mid-day. The lighting is harsh, the shadows are strong and you and your subject will be sweating a lot. But sometimes you just can't control all the factors so you just have to adjust and adapt to the circumstances. Look for some shade, use some fill flash and shoot as quickly as you can so your subject won't end up scorched by the noon sun.

Gears

"Wala sa pana yan, nasa Indian yan." How many times have we heard seasoned, amateur and even hobbyist photographers say those words? Maraming maraming marami ng beses. Yes, I do agree that you need to develop your skills first. You need to learn and re-learn the basics. You need to practice and practice and practice some more until everything is second nature to you. But gears are equally important. It makes your life easier and makes you more efficient.
