Choosing the Right Lighting for Your Digital Photos

If you've ever looked at a photograph and been taken in by its beauty, you'll probably notice it has very warm tones. Those warm tones are best captured when you photograph your images in the morning or late afternoon. During the middle of the day, the sun shines down from overhead. The light is direct and harsh and doesn't cast flattering shadows. Unless you have a reason for including the sun in the picture, shoot with your back to the sun and try to avoid getting your shadow in the picture.
