Picture This!
Made In The Shade
Our Picture This! assignment this month was "made in the shade"; pictures made under overcast sky, dark forest canopies, or anywhere the bright sun doesn't shine. Ask a wedding photographer, for example, his or her preference for a wedding day's shoot and generally they'll tell you one with a good cloud cover, even though the bride and groom might be looking for a sunny day. Why? Outdoor shots with less contrast, and less problem with that bright, white dress outdoors. The same goes for experienced color photographers, who know that they can get deep, rich colors when the sky provides a luminescent glow without a dazzling sun; it's almost like having a large diffuse softbox illuminating every scene. Readers sent in a variety of images, all made in the shade, proving that even when the sky is less than bright blue you can get some great shots.
