This post is a bit about light but not in the way of my Photo Recipe posts, since their is no diagrams in this post.

I called the post “Don’t forget the natural light”. Loads of people refer to available light as the natural light. I say a flash/speedlite is also available so if people say they want to use available light only, well that does can also include flash.

Well this post is just to remind you that sometimes the light that’s already on the scene might be just as good or even better than that you could create by adding light. The point here being remember to always look for light, great light is an important part of a great picture.

Here are a few of examples of semi recent shots I did where all light is natural, no flash or reflectors.

So the point is don’t ever forget to look for light and sometimes just put all the technical stuff to the side and focus on the picture.
