Lighting can make or break an image. The greatest moment caught on camera lands in the land of delete when you can’t make out who it is or what’s going on because the photo is underexposed (not enough light) or overexposed (too much light). Lighting can make the simplest of boring old items dramatic and pronounced.
On a September day, I entered the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World with the intention of looking up. Taking into consideration the sun’s position, I walked forward and back, this way and that all while aiming my lens at the castle flag atop City Hall. I zoomed in and out, trying a variety of combinations of angles and distance.
Each photo has a different look and one is not necesarily better than the other. These are merely an example of how you can work direct sunlight to your advantage and have fun playing with the outcome.
The sun was roughly in a 10 o’clock position behind the building. The wind was blowing moderately, moving the flag sweepingly.
