Summer is here and every outdoor activity from beach vacations, pool parties, family picnics, tennis matches to outdoor weddings are occurring all over the country right now. The bright summer sunlight can create quite a challenge when it comes to trying to photograph these fun and exciting events. Here are some tips and tricks for capturing some great fun-in-the-sun shots this summer with your new point and shoot or DSLR camera from Beachcamera.com.
Setting Up Your Camera
- You are going to have to move out of your comfort zone on this one and move away from your automatic settings. Try Aperture or Priority mode instead.
- With the sun beating down on you, you’ll need to have a low ISO. An ISO of 100 is ideal.
- To ensure that you capture natural colors, set your white balance to auto.
- This may seem redundant, but turn on your flash in order to brighten some of the shadows that may be cast from the brightly shining sun.
