When taking photographs, we all know that you don't face the Sun,it should always be at your back.In a situation where you need to take an object facing the Sun,what will you do?6 responses

For one thing, I NEVER photograph someone with the sun at their back because it creates a silhouette that only using a flash can get rid of. I prefer a cloudy day to diffuse all the light from the sun, and the sun facing the person. Also, something you may want to do is get a good reflector and hold it out of the shot to get light to reflect where you want it to go. Taking photos in the early morning and the evening are for the best results because the sun is still low, and the light is GORGEOUS!

That's generally what I do as well if possible, take photos in the early morning. But sometimes I have to take photos in the afternoon for events and since I'm not usually taking photos of people, I can't always get animals (especially wildlife) to pose for me. So I have to use the light I am given.

It depends how the shadows look. If I like the shadows, I'll just take the photo and make sure no purple lines show up on the screen (usually with my light sensitive eyes I already know if a photo is going to have spots from the sun though). If there are shadows I don't like, I'll up something to shade the object or person and then take the photo.

It just depends, if it is something I can come back later and get the photo without the sun, then that's what I would do. However, in some situations, I take the picture with the object silhoueted by the sun's light. It all just depends on the effect you are trying to get with the lighting.

Well, there's a feature that will let you use the flash in order for the one in the photo not be shadowed out by the sun. I forgot the camera, but I have done this a few times, and it turned out that the one i took photos off looked beautiful and not just a black figure at the back of the sunlight.
