Utilizing Natural Light

Even without focusing on camera functions or shooting methods, shadows and reflections created by nature can often be the best effects.

The mystery created by nature has a magical power that no photography technique can match. Don't miss the shutter opportunities hidden in everyday life, like sunlight filtering through trees or reflections in puddles.
