Outing 2 — Later Afternoon Light + Simple Composition

Bring: camera, one lens you love, optional reflector if you have it.

Settings starting points:

– Aperture: f/2.8–f/5.6 for subject separation; f/8 for landscapes

– Shutter: 1/250+ for people/kids; slower is fine for still scenes

– ISO: keep low if you can; raise as needed

Prompts:

1) Long shadow game: 10 frames where the shadow is the subject.

2) Clean background challenge: 8 frames with zero distractions behind the subject.

3) Backlight trio: shoot the same subject 3 ways: exposed for subject, exposed for sky, and “in between.”
