If there’s one rule that gets drilled into photographers of every skill level, it’s the one that says the worst time of the day to shoot outdoors is between 10:00 and 4:00. At the risk of drilling it in even deeper, that’s because the sun is high and very bright. The angle of the light is completely unattractive and so contrasty that shadows cannot fill. You may look at your subject and think the sun’s highlight is beautiful (it might be), and you may think that if you expose for the shadows the now overexposed highlight will add to the composition (it probably won’t). ![]()
