Figure 5.6a. Reed Hoffmann: "Sometimes the easy shots are the best. I shot this from my balcony after arriving late in the day in Dubrovnik, Croatia, and never found a better view of the Adriatic. Until the next morning, that is (see Figure 5.6b). (Photo by Reed Hoffmann)

Figure 5.6b. Reed Hoffmann: "I was grumpy when the birds woke me up early the morning of my first full day in Dubrovnik, but once I saw the view from my balcony, I wanted to thank them." (Photo by Reed Hoffmann)

Before you shoot a photograph, take a second to make sure you haven't unintentionally lopped off a subject's body part.

TIP

The time of day and the weather can significantly change the way your photograph looks, so it's important to pay attention to atmospheric conditions as well as subject placement.The times after sunrise and before sunset are often called the golden hours by photographers because of the rich, distinctive light, and some will only work during these periods. Because the sun is low on the horizon, and because it passes through a lot of our atmosphere during these periods, it becomes diffused and casts everything in a warm, soft glow.

By contrast, the light of midday is directly overhead and usually casts harsh shadows. At such times, look for subjects that take advantage of shady cover (a farmer relaxing under the outstretched boughs of a tree or a group of shopkeepers beneath a canopy).
