The time of day can really change how the light looks in photos. This can make things tricky for people just starting out in photography.

1. Morning and Evening:

• Harsh Shadows: In the morning and evening, we often get beautiful golden light. But the sun is low in the sky, which means it can create long shadows. These shadows might distract from your main subject.
• Solution: You can use reflectors to help soften those shadows. Or, try moving your subjects to a spot where the light isn’t so harsh.

2. Midday:

• Overexposure: At noon, the sun is directly above us, making the light very bright. This can cause your photos to look washed out and lose details.
• Solution: Use diffusers to soften the bright light, or look for shaded areas to take your pictures so you can keep the details.

3. Backlighting:

• Silhouettes: When you take pictures with the light behind your subject, it can make them look like black shapes, losing all the details.
• Solution: Change your camera settings to let in more light or use a fill flash to brighten up your subjects.

4. Side Lighting:

• Inconsistent Results: Side lighting can add depth to your photos, but it can also create strange shadows. This might lead to results that are hard to predict.
• Solution: Try taking pictures from different angles to see which light looks best.

By learning about these lighting challenges and how to solve them, beginners can get better at capturing great photos!
