New vid shows how to capture a ‘National Geographic’ style shot

Lighting is paramount in photography and in this new video by ‘Advancing Your Photography’, pro photographer Bob Holmes shows how you can get your shots looking like a National Geographic setpiece.

In the video, Holmes compares ‘golden hour’ to midday and ‘blue hour’ shooting, highlighting the potential of each change in light and the affect on your subject. Achieving a sharp outlined image by shooting into the sun, or 'bouncing' light by holding up a newspaper, are all handy tricks that can make the most of varied lighting situations.
