so for now .. I try to take most of my pictures outdoors!
Outdoors gives you natural light - and by far the best light!!
By the way, It doesn't have to be a sunny day...
I've taken some beautiful pictures outdoors with overcast skys..
just make sure its not raining :)
(and if it is.. like i have sometimes...make sure you're equipment doesn't get ruined!)
Happy Picture Taking!
Take care,
Chan
