I met my son on this street corner with my camera in hand and wanted to take his picture. But the opportunity to teach him a lighting lesson was too great to resist. Here he is in direct sunlight, squinting like Popeye with half his face hidden in deep shadow. We’re just lucky the camera managed not to blow the highlights as well. In the picture below I had him move a couple of feet to his right into open shade. Both pictures are un-retouched except for a little straightening. Very basic lesson when photographing people out of doors is go for the open shade!
