Tips on Using Natural Light

"Using Natural Light Outdoors," written by Michelle Ecker gives some tips on how to take advantage of using natural light. Ecker explains that when you are using natural light, to make sure you are using it during the right time of day because it can make your picture look different than what you might have been hoping for. This is helpful because I always thought that you would want to take pictures when it is a bright day out, although it does make sense as to why you might want a little bit of clouds in the sky. The other example Ecker gives is to try and take your pictures around certain times such as sunrise and sunset because it can bring more color to your picture.
