In Today's Video, we are going to learn about the rule of 500 in photography exposure.

You use this rule to determine how long you can leave your shutter open in order to capture shots that do not have star trails. Star Trails happen when the stars move in the sky, as they do when the earth rotates. If you are open too long, you get trails. The rule of 500 helps you know how long you can keep your shutter open based on the lens you are using.

I am also going to help you understand how to use Photo Pills Night AR, or augmented reality.

This handy tool helps you get a gauge on where the Milky Way will be when you want to photograph.

Thanks for dropping by and I hope you enjoy.

Understanding Light Direction

Get the latest photography videos, articles, and more every week with the free Outdoor Photography Guide newsletter. Sign up today! ????

There are times when your landscape images look rather flat, lacking in depth and light direction. How can you add that dramatic 3-dimensional look to your landscapes? In this video lesson, Outdoor Photography Guide’s pro photographer David Johnston takes you to southern Utah to show you how light direction will enhance your outdoor images.

Light direction often predetermines how you approach a landscape subject, how you compose a shot and also the angle you shoot at any given time of day. There are three types of light direction. The first is front lighting, the sun shining on the subject, the light behind you and illuminating your composition. If your background is darker than your subject, this creates depth, the colors and shapes dramatic.

The second type of light direction is sidelight, the sun source on either side of your subject, which creates an angle glow and also depth on the corners of your frame. The third type of light direction is back lighting, which means you are shooting directly into the sunlight source. By illuminating your composition from the back, you have to carefully measure the light. David brackets multiple exposures and blends them together in editing. Light direction from the back is effective for sunset and sunrise images. It creates rim lighting, the glowing effect along the edges of the subject.

Get the latest photography videos, articles, and more every week with the free Outdoor Photography Guide newsletter. Sign up today! ????

David also likes to shoot in diffused light, a composition created with even light direction all around the scene. This technique works for subjects that are closer to you, a rock face, a crevice, shadow patterns. David loves shadowy light for its variety of composition choices.

In this video lesson, Outdoor Photography Guide’s pro photographer David Johnston demonstrates how the three types of light direction will improve your outdoor images. On your next field trip, pay attention to light direction. It will open up your photographic world.
