TIPS for BETTER Photography in HARSH LIGHT + Examples | Sony A7iii Landscape Photography Vlog
You don't need to only go out during sunrise and sunset to get nice photographs, whilst landscape photography in midday sun can be challenging, there are techniques for better photos in harsh light. So in this video I provide tips on how to do landscape photography in harsh light on bright days with no cloud! To make it more challenging I visit my local woodlands with a really busy landscape.

That first image turned out quite well! Truly, this video makes me feel like I should work more on shooting in the middle of the day. Thanks for sharing!

@RauriBarron 2 года назад

Thanks a lot mate! Hope it could provide some inspiration, I’ve found it challenging to do this, but it’s worth it.

These were great tips for someone like me who is a wimp about getting up early or dealing with bugs in the evening! I'm almost always out in harsh midday light! Thanks!

I got up early just for this. Lovely work, mate. Still watching, but that first image is lovely!

Cheers Peter! Thanks for that 😊

@CourtneyVictoria 2 года назад

Fantastic tips Rauri! Many avoid heading out in harsh, sunny light but you've proven here that great images are possible if you know what to look for and how to adapt for the light. Image of the single tree and ferns is lovely, I like you showed the RAW file too. The black and white shot at 6:50 is great, shooting into the sun there worked really well and I agree, the glow kind of gives a hazy, foggy effect.

@RauriBarron 2 года назад

Thanks a lot Courtney! Glad you mentioned the Raw file too as it was a new thing I was trying and you’re the first to mention 😊 Appreciate you checking this out 👍

@peterfritzphoto 2 года назад

Rauri - these are excellent foundational tips that can help a lot of shooters enjoy their photography more. We all love dawn and dusk, but there are plenty of satisfying (and portfolio-worthy) scenes to capture during the day. Great video, mate. Concise, professional, engaging - you never disappoint. 👍😄

@RauriBarron 2 года назад

Cheers Peter! Greatly appreciate that mate - as I’ve been unable to shoot during golden hour these weeks so have been trying to make most of my lunch breaks 😉. Thanks again!

@WalterStinnettPhotography 2 года назад

Great video, Rauri! Those were excellent tips! This is a good reminder that you can find photographs in any condition. I will sometimes focus in on intimate shots because sometimes I find that because of the sun on the close ups provides more contrast. Thanks for sharing your outing!

@RauriBarron 2 года назад

Thanks a lot Walter 😊

Great tips Rauri. I must admit I run away from harsh light. I particularly like the BW tip to create when it all seems to bright. Great to see you punching through the 1k subs. Well deserved mate 👌

@paulcookphotography 2 года назад

Great video Rauri under some harsh conditions. Great tips and a good reminder that you can shoot any time of the day, not just at sunrise and sunset. Some really nice images here. I'm not a big B&W fan, but a couple of those at the end were really good, especially the one with the light rays at 6:50. Hope you are doing well. Have a great weekend.

@RauriBarron 2 года назад

Thanks a lot Paul. I’ve been shooting more in the day due to being being in the morning and evening, so thought this video was due for making. Thanks for those kind words mate 👍

@lillybugfilms5786 2 года назад

Some lovely images Rauri. I love backlit scenes and always find myself gravitating towards these sort of compositions. It’s something I practice often. Thanks for the great upload and some really good advice.

@BrisbaneChannel 2 года назад

Love the (video) shot at 0:46 - so simple, but so nice! The comparison around 1:45 really demonstrates the difference between backlit and frontlit scenes nicely. Love the backlit shrubby plants in the first shot. Love the teaser for the disaster video. I'd never seen B&W photos from you - I like a couple of them. Nice one.

@RauriBarron 2 года назад

Thanks Adam 😁 Glad you liked the comparison of front/back lit scenes, was filmed from the same spot, just by turning 180 degrees. I'll have to shoot more B&W - a lot of those shots I took weren't from vlogs, just out shooting. Thanks again mate.

Welcome back to Rauri walks around Daisy Hill and wonders what the hell he can talk about for 5 minutes! Great video as always mate. It is hard to make this area look good unless there's some dramatic weather, you've done really well as always!

Thanks a lot Peter! I got the quote back today… ouch. No other choice so paid up and waiting now. 😃

@RussWeymouthPhotography 2 года назад

I think you mailed it with those tips. Shooting towards the light with the Sun high in the sky for backlit subjects I find most effective. Summer where I live is similar to yours in that we get a lot of clear blue skies - working with the light is the best option.

@RauriBarron 2 года назад

Thanks a lot Russ. Yeah we have too many bright cloudless days here in Queensland, that’s why it’s the sunshine state 😂 crazy short lived storms followed by long periods of dry weather.

Great suggestions, Rauri. The past few months, I have found that I was out more in the middle of the day and did not have the option to be there at better light, so I had to adapt. Sometimes I was successful and many times I was not. Your suggestions will be a help in the future. Thanks for sharing.

@jonstallingsphotography 2 года назад

Great tips. I am not much of a morning person so I shoot quite a bit in the middle of the day. I also find it helpful to set up my camera in shade. Of course the composition has to work Helps to cut down on lens flare. Loved your shots especially the back lit trees

@RauriBarron 2 года назад

Thanks mate. Yeah I’ve changed my perspective a few months back to not worry if the light is harsh, as I used to always think it was subpar. But now just enjoy getting out when I have the chance.

@Robert-Bishop 2 года назад

They say there's no such thing as bed weather, only poor clothing choices. I'm sure there's something similar to be said for photography. Great tips mate, particularly going black and white - that's saved me on more than one occasion! 6.55 really is a fantastic image. 😊

I hope you've managed to get out during some of the rainy weather...I'm keeping my fingers crossed it stays a bit cloudy/rainy for Thursday! Great video as always!!!

Thanks a lot Lisa! Yeah it’s currently being repaired I got the quote and said to go ahead. So hopefully will get it back soon 😊 That magnetic polariser was the K&F one, they have a kit which has the CPL, UV, and a 10 Stop. Pretty handy. I may or may not have given it to someone so I don’t actually have it but I have broll of it in case I’ll make a video soon 😂 You have plans for Thursday?

@LookCloser 2 года назад

Man, I was amazed at what you were able to draw out of the landscape for that first image. Well done. Have you considered Infrared photography for those harsh light days? Also, can I ask which magnetic filter system you're using when you snapped on that polariser?

@RauriBarron 2 года назад

Thanks a lot mate I appreciate that. That magnetic filter system is the K&F one, affordable and good, has a polariser, UV and a ND 10 stop. I’ve never really made the jump to do infrared. Thanks for watching mate.
