Lessonph3-2. Portrait In The Sun
If you’re going to shoot outdoors with bright sunlight, ideally, you’ll want the sun about 30 degrees above the horizon. This will give you full light on the face. You want to avoid the sun being too high or being overhead. To get the best portraits, shoot early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Practiceph3-2p. Portrait in the Sun
Take a picture of yourself around two hours after sunrise or two hours before sunset. Make sure the sun is not directly overhead but closer to the horizon. The sun should be on the back of your camera. The light should be facing the subject. Your face should be in full sunlight.
