Lighting conditions

Changing the source, amount, and direction of light can change photographs dramatically. The following are some typical lighting conditions:

Light source behind the subject. Avoid placing your subject in front of a strong light source. If the light source is behind the subject or visible in the display, the resulting picture may have weak contrast, may be too dark, and may contain unwanted light effects. You can also use the flashlight to add more lighting to shadows. See "Flash" on page 19.

Sidelit subject. Strong side light gives a dramatic effect but may be too harsh, resulting in too much contrast.

Light source in front of the subject. Harsh sunlight may cause the subjects to squint their eyes. The contrast may also be too high.

Optimal lighting is found in situations where there is plenty of diffused, soft light available, for example, on a bright, partially cloudy day or on a sunny day in the shadow of trees.
