Slight overcast offers ideal conditions |
Photo shot outdoors under slightly cloudy sky |
The ideal conditions for digital photography occur when the sun is slightly obscured by a thin layer of clouds. It's as if a semi-transparent film were cast over the light source, gently dispersing the light, eliminating any deep shadows. Details are clearly defined in gradation from the highlight to the shadow. |
This kind of light offers the perfect conditions for digital photography. It resembles the elegance achieved in indoor photography when the light passes through lace curtains. |
