Undoubtedly one of the most challenging types of light to shoot with, midday sun is when the sun is at its highest position, sitting directly overhead. The resulting light creates very hard shadows, which are almost impossible for your camera to pe*****te. Most of the time, photographers will try and avoid shooting at this time of day but sometimes it may be inevitable.

Something I go on and on about is how photography is all about light – that’s no secret. Without light, there is no image. As photographers we’re used to looking for an interesting subject to shoot, but consideration always needs to be taken as to the type of light you’re dealing with. And s...

Pet photography is a genre where it pays to have your camera set up in advance. Animals don’t always stay still for very long, and certainly won’t wait patiently while you adjust settings.

We all love our furry friends, but photographing pets can present a challenge to even the most experienced photographers! Animals don’t understand the concept of posing for a photograph but fortunately, with a few simple tips you can shoot lovely pictures of the pets in your life. Be Ready In Adva...

A shadow is an area of an object or shape that is darkened because lights are blocked. In photography, however, a shadow is much more than this.

Two of the most important and highly used features in Lightroom are the Shadows and Highlights sliders. This is especially true for the newer versions of Lightroom (starting in version 4). These sliders provide you ways for bringing out even the subtlest details in your photos’ shadows and highlig...

Once the sun starts to set, the sky will start changing quickly. Getting set up early will allow you to capture the various stages of the sunset, including the different shades of reds and oranges as well as the beautiful blue hour that sets in just after the sun dips below the horizon.

If photography by definition is writing with light, then the concept of night photography may seem like a contradiction. But as we all know, it’s perfectly possible to create amazing images at night and there are beautiful and spectacular opportunities just waiting to be captured after the sun goe...
