Shooting Hot Photos Under a Clear Blue Sky

Category: Bikini shoot locations

We all love to go on holidays and enjoy a forecast of clear blue skies. We want days and days of radiant, clear blue skies and plenty of sunshine! However, clear blue skies can make it difficult to shoot outdoor photos. Such days present a variety of different problems. Usually, the sun is too bright, which makes the pictures too “hard” on the eyes. There’s just too much blue!

When this happens, we usually find it more convenient to shoot our photos on a day that is slightly cloudy. Or, better yet, simply shoot in the shade. Indeed, shooting on cloudy days can create dramatic landscapes and great backdrops.

Here are some tips!

Shoot During the “Golden Hour”

You’ve heard this tip before: never shoot against the sun. If you’re using a professional camera, make sure to adjust the brightness to capture crisp, beautiful light. When it comes to taking daytime photos –  especially under clear blue skies – it’s all about the light.

Shooting in the early morning or late afternoon (Golden Hours) is an excellent idea. There’s a reason why the last hour before sundown and the first hour before the sun rises are sought-after by professional photographers.

The Golden Hour is the best moment of the day to capture beautiful natural light that is neither too hard nor too soft. This light gives off a beautiful golden hue, thus its name. Shooting in the early morning or late afternoon is the best time to avoid overexpose and underexpose, simply because the light is even and does not shine down directly

Cloudy Days Can Be a Photographer’s Best Friend

Shooting on a cloudy day can also have its benefits. Clouds and atmosphere add an intriguing touch to the sky, making for interesting images and fascinating landscapes.

A predominantly blue sky can feel distracting. It’s always nice to have some clouds to break up the monotony and bring life to your photographs. The result is a beautiful backlit image that isn’t overwhelmed by bright sunlight or an overly blue sky.

As a photographer, not worrying about bright sunshine can make all the difference. You (or your subject) won’t be squinting under the light or covering your eyes. You don’t have to worry about speckled spots of sunlight coming through the trees or shadows in your photos.

You can use your surroundings to create directional light and take truly amazing pics. This, however, can be tricky, as you’ll need to find a balance between the sky and the darker areas of each scene. Shooting with the sun in your back can produce a great backlit effect, but it can also leave your face in the shadow. Try raising your shadows and pulling down your highlights.
