[...] I was reading Dutch Blitz, I ran into this post. It blew out of the water anything I’d heard about photographing in sunlight. [...]

Dude! Thanks for the tips! I have to do my sister-in-law’s wedding in the MIDDLE OF THE DAY and I’m hoping that it’ll be sunny. If it’s cloudy, it would be BETTER, but now I know what to do if there’s no hope for shade. Thanks!!!

Just read all the posts between here and your most recent. No time to comment on them all, but great stuff. Especially your girls get-together. Awesome!!

Perfect tips in this Foto Friday post. Excellent advice, all of it. One thing to add… most DSLRs have an option to dial down the built-in flash so it’s not so, well, flashy. I usely have my mine dialed down at least 2 stops at all times. It fills with out being crazy-ugly-bright.

Anyway… gotta get to bed. Cheers, eh!

I love your Foto Fridays. I hope you keep doing them. I have learned a lot from them.

Ya know, I found on my recent vacation I am perplexed about how to get a good photo of a landscape scene where the sky is bright and sooo blue and the other half of hte shot is greenery and darker. If you focus in on the bottom half, the sky is whited out and you can’t see the blue hues - the sky is overexpos3ed..but if you focus on the sky part, the green part is too dark. I hope that makes sense. How can I get a picture where BOTH the horizon and sky and the greenery look good like it does to my eyes?? Help - maybe you could answer this question in one of your Foto Fridays.

And thanks for the Happy 4th. I’m one of your USA readers..from Texas! I’m sure you have a huge following in both the US and CAnada.

Thanks
Dana

Thank you so much for the tips… I started reading a long while ago b/c of a comment another of your readers left on my blog. They recommended your Foto Friday, but apparently I started reading just as you stopped doing regular updates. I’m so glad to see a new one, and I hope you’ll continue them when you have the chance!
