2. NOT SHOOTING AT THE RIGHT TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT
Without light (natural or artificial), there is no photograph. But when you're starting out it can be hard to know when to shoot. Light changes continually throughout the day and through the early evening, so it helps to understand what it's doing and what effect it will have on your images.
Did you know that light has a color temperature? Light is measured in a unit called Kelvins - here's a chart to help you understand those different temperatures:
• 1000-2000k: Candlelight
• 2500-3500k: Tungsten Light (Normal household bulb)
• 3000-4000k: Sunrise / Sunset (Clear skies)
• 4000-5000k: Fluorescent Light
• 5000-5500k: Electronic Flash
• 5000-6500k: Daylight (Clear skies with sun overhead)
• 6500-8000k: Overcast skies (Moderate)
• 9000-10000k: Heavily overcast skies or shade
