No More Naps
Aside from the obvious fascinating patterns, structures and light displays, which just want to be discovered, photographing in these kind of conditions also pays off in terms of equipment and techniques. The bright light during a sunny day, will mostly result in very fast shutter speeds. You won’t have to carry your tripod and you won’t have to worry about blurry images due to movement or a lack of depth of field. Just yesterday, I took an image of a super fast little sparrow, trying to bring out the colors in its wing feathers, almost straight towards the hard sun. The settings were ISO 250 at f/14 and they resulted in a shutter speed of a 1/5000 sec. Just as an example. So, a rather longer or macro lens and the camera body is all you’ll need. And since I really don’t like to be busy handling my equipment, going out with just my camera in hands, is super delightful and relaxing.
