please excuse me, as a schooled trained professional i find “natural light” photographers an annoyance and a blight on the industry

you started a photography business with no knowledge of lighting?

you expect to learn off camera lighitng in one answer?

goto youtube and look up “using flash off camera”, photography lighting”

the short answer is use a flash behind the subject to wash out the shaddows, or direct the flash so the shaddow doesnt fall in the frame

EDIT: hahaha, a few “natural light” photographers upset by my answer – oh boo hoo – why not go learn lighting? – then you could be useful and answer the question, xaxa

Focusing is essential in digital photography. One of the biggest topics in digital photography is lighting. If the light isn’t right, then the picture is coming out in trouble. Most cameras will see things in a percentage of grayscale with three difference colors following pursuit. Therefore, photographers focus on backdrops, angles and the like.

It is wiser to add light rather than try to do it in some instances. Most cameras have a dimmer switch, which you can hit if the light is too bright. If the area is too light, you want to read your manual to see what exposure effects you can use in this situation. Otherwise, you can change your position or angle to adjust to the lighting. An ideal if you are trying to snap a shot with a dark background is holding up a grey colored card and letting the snaps meter visual this, which will trick the camera and then you can snap the shot.

One thing you want to keep in mind is that the fixed cameras are manufactured set. Therefore, if you are using one of these cameras you need to keep distance from the target in focus. The digital cameras today have automatic focus commands, which makes it easier to control your focus shots. If you are using the digital cameras with auto focus, you will need to lock in the command to make it work. Go figure! They say automatic and put you to work.

With a digital camera, you can target the subject or frame in photographers terms. Once you have the target in focus, you can hold the shutter button down, holding it halfway. Once you have these steps in place, realize that today’s cameras alert you at what time the picture is ready to take.

After you have the alert message appearing push the shutter button down and there you have it. Now that you have a focus, let me stop here for a minute, since I received an e-mail that is fascinating.

It appears the new I-Stick is one of the latest storage mediums for storing files. This medium comes in 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB. What a rewarding new commodity for storing images. Apparently, you can store about anything you want, including music, spreadsheets, videos, documents, pictures and more.

Anyway, back to focus. Are you focusing on the object or person you want to snap a shot at? Are you missing the shot? If you are, realize there are programs that will help you even if you don’t focus properly. If your camera has auto focus, personally, I prefer not to use this feature, since as a high observational candidate, I trust what I see verses some auto device taking control of my sight. One thing you want to remember while snapping pictures is to stand still without moving the camera out of position while it is targeting the subject. If you move it can cause blurring, which can degrade your picture. If you are taking pictures with the camera positioned on a surface, your best bet is to invest in a tripod. Tripods are designed to keep a camera in place while pictures are being snapped.

If you understanding light, cameras and focus you are half way to the marketing point of taking a good picture. Still, even if you can’t get it going on, you can use software-editing tools to make necessary changes. Remember, cameras also (most) have automatic timers, which enable you to set the cam to snap a shot at the right time. After all, it’s all about the image.
