Professional photographer Tiffany Warner shares a simple technique for making images more interesting.
📍 Newham
You must get up early to capture beautiful sun rays. On this particular morning, the lingering fog made the image even prettier.
You might need to drive around to find the right spot, or you may already know the perfect location. It works well if you can find a forest canopy or a bushy tree-lined street with a small gap, like in my example.
Look for branches that partially hide the sun so you can see the defined rays. In this image, you can see a large branch blocking part of the sun. Lean your phone camera toward the sun, ensuring you still include everything you want in the frame, and take your photo.
As the sun moves, your images will change, so you will need to move your phone too. Keep trying until you are happy with your photo.
💡 Tip: Get up early to find spots where the sun’s rays shine through.
Happy snapping!
