Harsh Light & Blue Skies Can Lead To Great Photos

harsh light and blue skies can lead to great photos if you're open minded and creative in your approach. Today, I had a really rewarding day of photography and it was on a day where most landscape photographers would stay indoors.

Thanks for watching folks! Something a bit different today with the POV shooting experience, let me know your thoughts! I've also shared these photos and a summary of the points mentioned on my blog 🖥 www.chrisharvey.co/journal

This is exactly the process I am going through right now. There is something interesting and worthwhile to shoot in any place, in any condition.

[@chrisharveyphotography]

That’s great to hear, I think it’s so worthwhile to explore this kind of process every so often! Hope you’ve found the experience rewarding and you’ve had some decent results! 👌🏻

[@marycarron5118]

Definitely more of these videos, Chris. I love your approach to street photography - your images and your explanations of what you look for in your compositions. Very informative and helpful.

[@chrisharveyphotography]

Thanks so much Mary! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and comment! So pleased to know you enjoyed this style of video - I’ll definitely be doing more! 😌

[@sarahneedham]

I feel like I'm the only photographer who actually likes a nice blue sunny sky day! 😁

[@chrisharveyphotography]

I'm right there with you! 👍🏻 I've definitely learned to love them over the last couple of years! 😄

KZbin is reading my mind. I fight balancing skies across a series of images, when usually shooting in bright sun.

[@chrisharveyphotography]

KZbin is great like that! 😄 Thanks for watching! Hope you found this one helpful!

[@tim.poirier]

All of the images in this video are eye catching and perfectly balanced! I also love your advocacy for getting out with your camera any opportunity you get regardless of conditions.

[@chrisharveyphotography]

Hey thanks so much Tim, I really appreciate that - I was definitely happy with this set of photos and definitely wasn't expecting to get so many that I liked when starting this shoot. I just really enjoy the process of taking photos, I love seeing the world that way so i'll never let things like weather determine whether I should go out and take photos or not - I just adapt to the conditions. Thanks so much for watching and commenting bud! 🙏🏻

I did the same thing a few days ago. And I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. A refresher for my eye and imagination.

[@chrisharveyphotography]

That’s really great to hear, Michael! It’s great fun isn’t it! Gets the creative juices flowing! Really glad you got some good results mate! Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏🏻

-I like your philosophy of going when you can. 😀

[@chrisharveyphotography]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! We all have such busy lives, myself included, and if I was always waiting for perfect conditions then i'd never get out with my camera! It would be so infrequent. For me, I love being out with my camera, I love taking photos so I will always look for opportunities to do that and I worry about what to photography later😊

[@TyRonKitzeRow]

I enjoy all photo types. Thank you for the videos

[@chrisharveyphotography]

That's really great, being open minded as a photographer is such a useful trait to have when exploring subjects and it gives you more opportunity to photograph more often! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻

[@Roarke231]

I find that you can always find a good balance no matter the light level. love these tips

[@chrisharveyphotography]

Totally agree! There's always something to photograph, you just have to be open to any and all potential subjects and you have to think creatively. Plus, those two things are always worthwhile practicing in my opinion! Thanks, i'm really glad you found them helpful and I really appreciate you watching and commenting 🙏🏻
