How to Take Good Photos at a ‘Bad’ Time of Day

What do you do when you find a good location to photograph, but the time of day isn’t right due to strong sunlight and harsh shadows? That’s the subject of this 12-minute tutorial by photographer Mike Browne.

Browne demonstrates how you can overcome less-than-ideal lighting by moving your feet, adjusting your camera settings, and looking for compositions that use the situation to your advantage.

Back in 2014, we shared another video tutorial in which Browne shares how he finds interesting photographs when stuck in “boring” locations.
