Turning Harsh Light into Art: A Midday Photography Adventure
Hello folks! How’s it going? I hope you're all doing well and enjoying your Sunday!
In this week's video, we challenge ourselves to create meaningful images in the middle of the day, under harsh sunlight. There's a common consensus that photography, particularly landscape photography, shouldn't be done in the middle of the day. And to be honest, I agree with that to an extent.
However, there's something uniquely captivating about midday photography. The vibrant scenes and intense lighting conditions offer an excellent opportunity to experiment with black-and-white photography, where you can really make the most of the harsh contrasts.
I'm thrilled with the results I achieved this week, especially since I pushed myself out of my comfort zone. It's always great to get outside with your camera, no matter the time of day-there's always something new to learn, experience, and enjoy.
So, even if the images might seem a bit unconventional, I hope you enjoy the video. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the images and whether you enjoy shooting in midday light.
If you liked the video I would really appreciate it if you could give it a thumbs up and if you fancy following along for more adventures like this one, make sure to hit the subscribe button!
Both those things really help out small channels like mine.
Take it easy everyone, cheers!

Hello there folks, and how is it going? I hope you're all doing great and enjoying your Sunday. I’m not quite sure what to say about this video - I set out to do one thing and ended up doing something entirely different. Such is the way of things in landscape photography. Sometimes, things don’t go as planned, and that’s true for most things, right? When I realized I left my step rings at home ...
