• The most difficult and tough part of photography
  for both new as well as master photographers is
  lighting. Many of the professional photographers
  are well skilled in managing the lighting for
  photography but when it comes to outdoor
  photography they all get confused as one cannot
  control the intensity of sunlight which makes
  outdoor photography a difficult task. One can get
  a perfect outdoor shot if some of the tips and
  suggestions are followed.

Get the perfect shot with a professional
photographer

• As newbie's Outdoor Photographers one should
  remember that it is good to make the subject face
  the sun as for eliminating the chances of
  formation of shadows and the back of the
  photographer should be in the direction of sun.
  it is suggested to check the calendar and notice
  the time of sunset and sunrise in advance only
  for getting the perfect shot as per required. An
  hour before the sunset can also be regarded as an
  ideal time for performing outdoor photography as
  it gives an amazing and mesmerizing glow to the
  pictures. In the evening also it is good to make
  the subject face the sun and the photographers
  back should be in the direction of sun.

Perfect time to shoot

• It is generally not suggested to shoot during day
  as during day time the sun will be above the
  subject and this will result in formation of
  harsh shadows on the face of the subject which
  will ruin the photo. One cannot even control the
  intensity of the light in the daytime.
• The most common question which arises in the
  minds of common people is whether flash is
  necessary in outdoor photography or not. Need of
  flash completely depends upon the situation and
  location of photography. If the subject is facing
  the sun then flash is not important but if they
  are not facing the sun then one can use an on
  camera speed light. If in case there are some
  trees or buildings which are casting shadows on
  the subject in that situation also one is
  required to use flash.

• For getting the perfect shot Professional
  Photography is required. One cannot give the
  specific hour to shoot outside as the specific
  time will change throughout the year. In general
  it is well known that right after sunrise can be
  the best time for shooting outside as at that
  time the intensity of light is low because of
  which chances of getting harsh shadows on the
  subject is completely eliminated.

• There are some points which one should keep while
  shooting photographs outdoors. It is suggested to
  shoot in shades rather than in sunlight as it can
  create harsh shadows on the subject. Using a
  tripod can provide more stability though it is
  true that most of the cameras these days comes
  with vibration reduction and image stability
  features but using tripod adds up to the
  stability. Using long exposures can help the
  photographer get the colours which are not
  visible easily in the pre-dawn condition. The
  last and the most important tip is that
  photography needs time and thus one should relax
  and enjoy this.
