3 ways to shoot against the light

Posted on 30 March 2008 by Brandon

Don’t let the sun get in between you and a good photo. Sure it may be a large flaming ball of gas that emits solid beams of light, but there are ways to get around it.

Photoaxe.com has three very simply ways you can accomplish this.

1. Use a flash even during a sunny day

This does wonders not only getting rid of shadows but bringing out colors in your subject. You can usually do this even on the brightest of days with it having an affect on the photo.

2. D-light function

Most point and shoot cameras have D-light functions which make shooting in the sunlight much, much easier, but doing the work for you.

3. Photoshop Manipulation

There are several techniques in photoshop you can use after you’ve taken the photo.

Photoaxe.com does about a 100 times better job at explaining this, and in much better detail (like they actually show you what to do in photoshop). Go and learn.
