Open Shade Photo Tip

It's a real shame my kids have so little personality, you know it?






Do you want to know a super easy trick to make your photos pop?

Place your subject at the very edge of the open shade. It can be under your porch like in our back yard, or next to a row of big shade trees or even next to a tall building.

But find the shade and place your subject right at the edge, and face them toward the light.

You'll see that beautiful sun in his eyes, (look for it!) but his face won't be in the harsh shadows that you get from full sun.

Such a simple tip, but it'll make a big difference in your photos.



Now, get out there and shoot! :)
