 Here are five tips for you to improve your Outdoor Photography Techniques till the class begins!

1-Keep the Horizon straight:

That is rule number one in outdoor photography. In some new digital cameras you can activate the “Virtual Horizon” and/or “Grid Lines” to make sure that the Horizon is straight.

 

2-Use a correct Metering Mode

Almost all digital cameras have different metering modes. For better outdoor photography, you should use the proper metering mode. As an example Evaluative/Matrix mode does not make correct exposure in contrasty lightings. Try to use Centre Weighted instead.

 

3-Polarizing and ND filters:

Since in summer time Sun is very bright, it creates a lot of reflections. Almost all surfaces produce reflection which make our photos look faded. By adding the Polarizing filter, you can remove reflection and bring back more colors to your pictures.

 

 

4-Timing:

You can capture the best light before 11:00am and after 2:00pm in Spring. So plan your outdoor photography for early mornings or late afternoons. I try to avoid the midday sun as it is too strong and contrasty.

 

5-Lenshood:

Use your lenshood to prevent “Lens Flare”
