Let the light shine through

Lighting is very important in taking photographs. The best time of day to take photographs is early morning or late afternoon. That way the sun does not wash out your subject during the brightest part of the day. I prefer to photograph with natural lighting and getting up early to explore. It's amazing that something so simple can look so differently during a different hour of the day. So get up early, sip that first cup of coffee and go outside and let that little light shine!
