It’s blog circle time again, and this month we are posting about, How I View Full Sun. Normally, I hide from full sun… harsh shadows, and raccoon eyes… no thank you! This month’s challenge made me realize I need to take the time to get outside and shoot in full sun, because if you don’t you’ll miss the moments … it also helped me realize just how much fun shooting in full sun can be.
We took a family vacation this month to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, and had the most amazing time. My three kids could not get enough of the beach and the ocean. And even though sand in my camera was freaking me out, I brought it out there, and I’m so glad I did. I’ve captured my kids joy, and joy doesn’t wait for the golden hour.
Please take a minute to follow the circle around and see how my very talented friend, Allison takes on full sun!
