Lightbulb I am willing to share a secret with all you to learn

I am willing to share a secret with all you to learn:

Golden hour with a trick side lighting

Tip: This is a neat trick for golden hour with a side lighting. You don't need any gear lighting for golden hour. It is more natural lighting for you to use it.

Here is explain:

If you do have a white curtain. It is will act like a softbox. You have to stand behind from the white curtain.

Then go to Program AE from your camera.

Then go to your camera to see white balance and see the shade as use that.

Remind that again: Please don't to use a pop-up flash or any flash unit. It is more natural lighting for you to use it.

Then go to +/- for underexposure like -1 stop.

Then take a picture. You will see the warm colour (kind like orange) from the golden hour on your own face or your family or friends with side lighting.

You will see why it is a great trick you will like this.

I find it funny that you don't actually share an example. But also, I'd rather not use Program mode

I like the shot where James falls from an airplane without a parachute...
So he chases the bad guy WITH the parachute downwind!
They grapple and fight and he gets the parachute!
Now that's not a bad shot!
(poor bad guy left without a parachute...)


?
the parachute is like a soft box...

Where in the hell have you been? That's no secret. I've know that for at least 30 plus years.
