the first hour after sunrise and the last hour before
sunset.
4. Avoid taking shots facing the light, as this would

would be lost in shadow.
5. If you intend to take a posed shot, position your
subject where you want in relation to the location,
background and source of light.
6. If you intend to take a candid shot, position yourself
where you can capture the most interesting,

7. Take a variety of shots- ranging from far shots
