  1. I just realised I never thanked you for your answer. It was a great help, thanks Brian. I tried to do what you say and it turned out ok. However, I'm interested in your thoughts on using the sun as a hair light. I love the look of the golden glow around the top of the head - but you say you take all the sun off them. Do you never use the sun as a backlight/hairlight?
  2. Hi there, I'm wondering what are the best tips for shooting outside in the middle of the day? This is a general "top tips" question. I'm shooting an interview outside at midday on a winter's day (In Australia). Harsh sun. The shot is a clean single, mid shot and close up. The director has asked for a "natural" look. I'm simply putting the sun behind the subject (the sun is quite low in winter) and using a reflector from his front left. Would this be the best way to go for a standard, well illuminated mid shot? Would you use a diffuser over his head to remove harshness from the sun? I also have a litepanel LED 1 x 1, which could provide some fill. (Though it may not be enough light at that time of day in full sun). Would you put him in shadow? Dappled light? Any thoughts would be wonderful! Cheers, Tom
