We all know it’s all about the light. We like side light, golden hour, overcast, blue hour, sunrise, sunset, studio light, open shade... but what do you do when the only option is outdoor mid day so-called “harsh” light? Sometimes we can’t control the where and when. We just have to make it work. Whether on a shoot or on vacation or out on a photo walk, we sometimes need to know how to produce good photos under bad conditions.
For this week’s challenge, take some photos at mid day and try to utilize what you know to lessen the negatives of the situation. Post processing or during the shot. Black and white conversions are allowed. Fill flash, polarizing filters, neutral density filters, scrims, reflectors, bracketing are all options. These links have some helpful advice and suggestions.
As always new photos only please. Get out there and shoot.
