    About this ebook

    Cameras and direct sunlight do not work well together. Direct sunlight is the hardest lighting situation to take pictures in because you have no control of it and very few options to try to modify it. This book teaches and demonstrates how to get the best pictures possible shooting in direct sunlight on a sunny day.
    The more you know about photography, the better your pictures will be, and the more you will enjoy photography. You will quickly understand the concepts and learn the techniques without a lot of words to confuse you so you can go out and take some awesome photographs.

    Page count was never a concern to me, covering the concepts was. I’d rather have 30 very informative and useful pages than 300 pages of fluff. An average reader should be able to get through this book in about an hour and see an instant improvement in the pictures they take. You will not need to take out a loan for the tools I’ll show you. The most expensive tool I recommend is about $40, with most of them being far less than that, down to a few pennies or free.

    I wrote my first photography ebook to fill the need for a short, easy to understand, basic photography guide. In You Can Take Better Pictures In One Hour – The Basics, I covered the topics and concepts you need to know to take good pictures without all the confusing rhetoric that every book I had reviewed had in it. It was about knowing your camera and using to the limits of its features. Good photography is only 10 percent about the camera. It is 90 percent about the person taking the pictures. I continued to write books on how to take better pictures including posing people for pictures. This is the first of the lighting topics, with several more to come.

    There's a reason I chose an F4U Corsair as my profile picture. I am a lot like this WWII warbird - the Corsair was a rough, tough, and ready fighter plane back in the day when it was pilot vs. pilot in a dogfight, not electronics vs. electronics. I am like the F4U in that I might not look the sleekest, might not be the most politically correct, and might not be the most popular person in a room, but I am rough, ready, short and to the point, no-nonsense writer to give you the information you need to take better pictures. The Corsair was about results in a dogfight, my books are about results in photography.I've seen so many books in which it was clear the primary focus of the book was making the page count worthy of a high price tag for the book. I couldn't find a short, simple to understand guide giving the information you need to know to take better pictures without confusing rhetoric and fluff to fill pages. Photography is my only focus, giving you the information so you can go out and take better pictures with just about any camera you own. After I finished the first book about the basics of photography, ideas for other books came to mind as I was asked numerous questions about more advanced topics. So started my series of ebooks about photography.Currently I have two ebooks published and available in all of the e-reader formats and as a .pdf for computer reading and printing. The first is the basics book mentioned above and it was followed up by a book about posing people to flatter just about anybody you photograph. I am in the process of writing a third book about getting into modeling and being a successful at it, which will be published early this summer. This fall I will be back to photography topics, publishing a book about concert and stage show photography. Following that I will be publishing books about advanced outdoor and indoor photography using inexpensive accessories so everyone can get great pictures. I love getting reviews and ideas from readers about future books to write.

      Preface

      I wrote my first photography ebook to fill the need for a short, easy to understand, basic photography guide. In You Can Take Better Pictures In One Hour – The Basics, I covered the topics and concepts you need to know to take good pictures without all the confusing rhetoric that every book I had reviewed had in it. It was about knowing your camera and using to the limits of its features. Good photography is only 10 percent about the camera. It is 90 percent about the person taking the pictures.

      I published my second ebook to start the series of more advanced topics. That second ebook is about posing. I published an ebook about being successful at modeling since I hire models for my ebooks and saw mistakes many models make that cause them to lose money. This third photography ebook starts the topic of lighting in different situations. This is about shooting in sunlight and will followed up with ebooks about cloudy day shooting, shooting at night, indoor lighting on a budget, and finally shooting at concerts and stage shows.

      The more you know about photography, the better your pictures will be, and the more you will enjoy photography. I want you to quickly understand the concepts and learn the techniques without a lot of words to confuse you so you can go out and take some awesome photographs. Page count was
