Depth
When shooting landscapes and sceneries, add depth to
your pictures by placing objects in the foreground. If the
foreground object is too close to the camera, it may be
blurred.
Lighting conditions
Changing the source, amount, and direction of light can
change photographs dramatically. Here 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.
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.
