Summer is one of my favorite times to get out and take photos. Here are a few tips I always keep in mind when I am out and about during the summer.

1. Always try and stand with the sun behind you, with your subject facing the sun. This allows the sun to work in place of your flash.

     * If you find your subject is squinting because of the sun. Have them close their eyes till you are ready to snap the photo. When you are ready count to three have them open their eyes on three as you press the shutter. Not only do you have open eyes but also you get a nice happy expression.

2. The best time of the day to take photos is first thing in the morning or early evening. The sun during the middle of the day is too bright and will cause your photos to be over-exposed

3. The most important tip of all is to just get out there and get to snapping those pictures, the more photos you take the better you will become

Have fun this summer and watch for more great summer photo tips
