Perhaps the worst experience of a photographer is trying to capture sunny moments. Even sunrise and sunsets can be difficult to manage despite the number of photos you can find on many websites. Unfortunately, this type of scenes is precisely what you want to avoid when you are starting to get used to your camera. In actuality, except on scenes where the sun is not bright enough, to have an useful picture requires professional cameras and their special lenses. Otherwise you are left with a way too bright picture that does not show the sun or a way too dark one that leaves the rest of the scene almost invisible. | Perhaps the worst experience of a photographer is trying to capture sunny moments.

Colours also will be washed out or dimmed. | ||
The key in this circumstance is to avoid having the sun directly facing the camera, prefer to have it at a certain angle and direction. The most appreciated approach is to have the light coming from the upper left corner, as this is the way in which right-handed persons mostly expect the light to be positioned. It creates pictures with good highlights and shadows even if they may not seem as spectacular. | The key in this circumstance is to avoid having the sun directly facing the camera, prefer to have it at a certain angle and direction.
