Use the light

The seconds right after sunrise and right before sunset are considered to be great for warm, soft and even lighting which can be perfect for landscape and portrait photos. Adapting to the style of the environment enables the photographer to capture great shots. One must always be aware of the limitations of their camera. Experiment on how high the camera can hit the ISO before the image starts to appear too noisy. Try to use natural light when shooting with a mobile as the flashlight on the phone rarely looks good. To use the light more playfully, try out longer shutter speeds with the camera mounted on a tripod to take in more light to capture more creative images with different light forms.
