A little while back I enrolled in a mini course where for 3 weeks you were sent a new secret every day about photography from David Peterson at http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com He also promotes a book which you can either purchase on line as an e-copy or a printed version at http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com/bookc/?0
I thought I would also pass these tips onto fellow photographers for them to also benefit from. Hope this info helps somebody else too!
Digital Photography Secret 12 -- Look For Light
by David Peterson
Different lighting can change the mood and feel of a shot, or be the difference between a mediocre and stunning shot.
The light from the setting sun can produce wonderful lighting for a subject, as does sunlight through leaves. Maybe you see a shaft of light between two large objects such as buildings that can be a perfect backdrop for your subject.
Other options for different light sources at night include :
Neon lights make great night time subjects. You can silhouette your subjects in front of them, or use them as a subject themselves.
Use a long exposure on a tripod to capture streaks of car lights on a road or highway, or other moving lights like on a ferry.
Next time : How to avoid red-eye in your photos.
Get a full rundown on what White Balance is, how it affects digital cameras, and how you can simply ensure your photos have the correct colors and exposure. All in my new book on "Digital Photo Secrets".
