Simply Beautiful Photos: Light

1. If you are shooting beams of light, you can add drama to it by underexposing everything else

2. When shooting with a backlight, it is best to underexpose the image to bring out the highlights in the hair or clothing

3. Bad weather, such as a foggy, rainy, or snowy day, is always good for shooting because it brings drama to the scene

4. When shooting a portrait, having soft light coming through a window or a door is suggested because it lets the subject feel relaxed and their facial features can be smoothed

5. Artificial light, especially at night, can be helpful for a good light picture. For example, colourful lights at night can look interesting but beautiful

6. When shooting during a sunset, you don't always have to directly shoot the sun. You can shoot trees or objects that are being lit up by the sun

7. Light can be helpful to lead our eyes to things we want people to see, and take our eyes away from things we don't want others to see

8. If you are shooting with a powerful light source, you have to be careful to pick the right exposure so that everything can show up and contrast well

9. When shooting in the dark, exposing your picture correctly is key so that the things in the dark show up, as well as what is in the light

10. Sometimes, using a silhouette to block the light source can end up making the picture look better than it would if light was hitting the subject
