The weather these few weeks had been SOOOOOOO gloomy and unstable. I had quite a number of outdoor shoots that had to reschedule due to no-sun. Some even rescheduled over 3 times!!.. If you ask me.. sun is really important to an outdoor shoot… especially when taking pictures with children. Children move really really fast and I must use a fast shutter speed to capture the moment. If there is no sun, it means I have to use a much higher ISO to achieve the result… and the photos would end up MUCH grainier. I basically prefer finer photos, unless conditions do not allow it. I would also try to avoid using flash during outdoor sessions as I think the flash would kill all the mood.
Let’s hope the weather gets better in April.
Well… it is a good thing that I get more time to finish up my many post-production deadlines! :D
