One of the benefits of shooting outdoors is the amount of options you have and the amount of choices you are given. The best part about being outdoors is that amount of natural light is perfect whether it is rain or shine, and in the end gives you a wonderful shot overall. There are a few main factors you have to consider when you shoot outdoors though: The position of the sun, the distance from you to the subject and the number of focal points. Although there are many factors, you still are not left in the dark, as you will get help from an image-processing program that you will learn about later in your digital trek.
Shooting with Natural Light
Natural lighting is one of the best companions when you shoot out door; however, if you are not careful, it can be very tricky. These tricks can be very harmful or very helpful when it comes to photography; there is no general statement that covers every case. Using your cameras settings, you can control how the camera reads light and modify it to your likings. Of course, there still is the auto setting, where the camera determines what is best in certain conditions such as an overcast day.
When your camera is set to automatic, f-stops, shutter speeds, exposure values and depth of field are all factors that are overlooked.
The camera calculates the f-stop and shutter speed by measuring the setting and the circumstances of where you are shooting. By factoring those two together, it gives you the best picture possible in that setting. Although this does have this setting, it is best to still experiment a little and see what different options do. It is best to mess around with the settings especially when you shoot moving objects like waterfalls, or when you want to capture dark scenes such as the stars.
