Playing with light

Playing with different lighting conditions can improve your shots. For one, shoot with the sun at your back to get even lighting on your subject. This makes your subject front-lit, helping you avoid shadows on faces and bring out more detail. Sometimes you may not be able to change your stance, so look for a Canon camera that offers Intelligent Auto which automatically identifies a variety of different scenes and makes adjustments automatically from a bright sunny day, sunset or a cityscape at night.
